    Official 12" reissue of Freex Machine's sought-after discoid-funk burner.

    Two underground groove-led gems recorded and released in 1979 on the New York indie-label Starbase Sounds. The Freex Machine hailed from Corona, Queens and had emerged as an extension of the group Hooker, a teenage band of musicians that started performing together in the early 70s, earning a respected reputation locally.

    Whilst a handful of singles were released under various monikers, including Aura and Stars, the band's distinct New York-centric live funk soundremained consistent.
