Manhattan’s own indie-sleaze poster boy Harrison Smith blew up with 2022’s “Girls,” a hedonistic nod to dance-punk’s mid-aughts salad days—but also for his semi-regular Freakquencies parties, which The Dare would DJ alongside fellow party-starters (Doss, Danny L Harle, Frost Children). Since “Girls,” the DJ, producer, and one-man electroclash band has released his debut full-length (2024’s What’s Wrong With New York?), performed “Guess” with Charli xcx live on the Grammys stage, and brought Freakquencies to clubs across the globe. On Freakquencies: Volume 1, the bon vivant briefly steps out from his role as band frontperson for four tracks of house for the heads, from the acid groove of “Kick” to the Ed Banger-esque euphoria of “Exhilaration.”
