The Freako Collection

(Recorded live at ISOULATION @ Legacy OC Patio on 10.16.2021 and mixed with its re-recorded version.)

I had the pleasure of spinning for the first-ever ISOULATION (Hosted by SEDUZA), an event dedicated to all kinds of house, bounce, Soundcloud edits, and more. I'm happy to share this with y'all because SoundCloud has always been the spot for hidden gems, edits, remixes, dope producers and DJs. If you love music, you'll definitely dig this one. 

Big shoutout to the good homies Dejaview, DXTR., SUA, and SEDUZA for throwing down dope sets. Here are their socials:

DJ FREAKO @ ISOULATION – 10.16.21

Here is a B2B (back-to-back) set I made with my good friend DEJAVIEW for Isoulation II. We received so much good feedback live that we decided to record it for everyone to experience. Please, enjoy this fun and eclectic mix of minds and music tastes wherever you are, featuring flavors of House, Funk, Disco, Soul, R&B, and Hip-Hop (+ some dope melodies, basslines and scratching).

BOUNCE HOUSE: an Isoulation Experience [FREAKO B2B DEJAVIEW]

Here's the story behind this mix. So my friends and I started an event/party in October 2021 called ISOULATION, which started at the patio at a nightclub. Our intention with this party was to create a safe space for DJs to play what they like, to create a safe space for people to come out to listen to good music curated by said DJs.

Our first few events in the patio went amazing, and we eventually worked our way to playing the indoor main stage of this nightclub. We were then recently booked to takeover the entire nightclub; my friends and I DJing on the mainstage and us curating the DJs in the patio. We all poured so much energy and thought into this night - we had planned and prepared for every little detail.

Unfortunately, our plans on the main stage were derailed. My friend was kicked off during his set. My other friend took over and was told by management to play "ratchet hip-hop." I had the closing set that night, and I was torn. Do I play the set I prepared? Or do I compromise and appease management? I took the latter route. I played that set on the fly (interestingly enough,  my friends said I did really well, killed the set), but my heart wasn't into it. 

The event was over, we cleaned up, hung out at the parking lot, and vocalized to one another how we felt. We caravanned to a homie's house to kick back, then went to another friend's house. I saw the sunrise with a friend, and I got home around 7:30 AM. I had so much pent up feelings and needed emotional release, so I recorded this mix nearly crying and without any sleep. What you're hearing now is the set I originally planned to play on the main stage the night prior. 

In taking a step back to reflect, not everything turned out terrible. What we had planned for the nightclub patio was executed to perfection. We had colored lights and a photo booth. Although we took some Ls that night, the patio DJs had amazing sets. I believe the spirit of ISOULATION was alive and well in the patio, and for that, I'm truly grateful. 

Here's what I learned: naivety and expectation often lead to disappointment, but there is good in each and every situation.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to this mix and for taking the time to read all this. Enjoy!

Thotpocalypse II: The Official Ho-Chella Pregame Mix

Due to popular demand, I give you BOUNCE HOUSE 2.0 - my set from Bounce House, presented by Commissary 2.0 x Isoulation, at which we also celebrated my best friend DJ SEDUZA's birthday. I had so much fun crafting and performing this one; I was so engrossed in the creation process that this became my longest mix yet (For some perspective, I fit 34 songs into an hour-long set). Thank you to everyone who made the time to come out and vibe with me – here now is something to preserve those memories.

Enjoy this fun, jumpin', heart pumpin', high-energy journey through... THE BOUNCE HOUSE.

Until next time,
– FREAKO <3

BOUNCE HOUSE 2.0

I had the opportunity/pleasure of throwing my first and very own event with the same name (World Piece) in the heart of DTLA, inspired by Global Sounds: R&B + Hip-Hop with a global twist, Latin, Reggaetón, Amapiano, House, Funk, Disco + more! The music was a vibe, the company was amazing, and the view was breathtaking.

ISLAND VIBRATIONS

DJ Alias: Freako

Freako is originally from Fullerton, CA. His goal as a DJ is to do good for his community by bringing people closer together through dance and good music.

His love for music began in Jr. High when he and friends would rap to Biggie Smalls in the hallways. After graduating college in May 2019, he took a deeper dive into music when he bought his first entry level turntable and began digging for and collecting records. Several months later, I applied to Academy of DJs, and the rest is history.

An R&B Valentine's Day mix by yours truly. This one was inspired by the written love letters my girlfriend and I wrote to one another throughout our nearly 8-year relationship - a story about love, heartbreak, peace and understanding. Whether you're single, taken, not looking, heartbroken, etc., I'm sure these are themes to which we can all relate. 
- FREAKO

(If you're reading this baby, Happy Valentine's Day. I love you! <3)
