Lee Walker vs DJ Deeon – Freak Like Me (Ben Kim Remix) [Defected]

Teramo native Ben Kim returns to Defected with a remix of the London label favourite, ‘Freak Like Me’ by Lee Walker and DJ Deeon. Since his Beatport chart-topping rework of Jefferson Airplane’s ‘Somebody To Love’ in 2021, Ben Kim has become one of the tech-house scene’s most promising artists, with releases across tastemaker imprints Nervous, Kaluki and Club Sweat.

Ben Kim now returns to the London label with a remix of the Defected classic ‘Freak Like Me’; the 2016 release began as an edit by UK producer Lee Walker, who reworked DJ Deeon’s Dance Mania OG from the 90s.

“It’s amazing to see this track come full circle under the exact same circumstances as when I first reworked it. A producer with no expectations hearing an iconic vocal and choosing to go ahead and put a new spin on it. I’m very proud of what Ben has produced here and can’t wait for it to be shared with the world.” – Lee Walker

Lee’s version gave the raw vocal a deep, rolling groove, stripping it down to turn it into a major dancefloor weapon which received remixes and major support from artists like Jamie Jones and Carl Cox.

“I’ve always been a big fan of Defected and DJ Deeon since I was child, officially remixing it and releasing it here is very exciting for me!” – Ben Kim

Already supported by the likes of Marco Carola, Michael Bibi and The Martinez Brothers, Ben Kim adds his flair to ‘Freak Like Me’ with a remix that arrives just in time for the summer festival season – its deep, alluring sound promising to fill dancefloors for years to come.
