Check Your Chains EP by Justin Harris

Justin Harris arrives on REK'D with the "Check Your Chains EP in February 2026. Music For Freaks label co-founder and one half of Freaks alongside Luke Solomon, Harris has been active for over three decades. His "Check Your Chains EP" on Radio Slave's latest sublabel joins a massive discography spanning four albums and over a hundred EPs between Freaks and his solo work, on labels like Perlon, Visionquest, Classic, Crosstown Rebels, and many more, showing the wealth of experience at his command.

For me, any release is an opportunity to present a snapshot of my creative pursuits, which now run to more than 30 years. The sole (and soul) reason I make music is for it to be heard and appreciated as far and wide as possible by like-minded people. Any track that I produce is a reflection of what's going on around me in my world, same as any artist. In that world, for me, Rekids is truly one of my favourite and most respected labels, consistently releasing house music future classics that I always want to play out. So this release for me is a truly great start to 2026!!

The "Check Your Chains EP" sees Justin Harris delve deep: lush chords, paired-back grooves, delectable keys, and a certain funky, loopy hypnotism that's modern and classy. "Who Needs Rescuing" brings the Balearic sunshine, while "Jutzjazz" feels right at home in a dim-lit speakeasy, before "DJs Should Be Heard And Not Seen" reads like a statement on the scene, yet as a piece of music is first and foremost deeply felt - this is a four-tracker of pure House quality.
