Pete Ellison DJ mixes

Episode 80: Feel Good Friday Radio Show (special guest Ferdinand Debeaufort)

Great to get my first gig of 2022 under my belt last Saturday at Ministry Of Sound. I’ve played at this legendary club a number of times down the years, but this certainly ranked amongst my favourite appearances.

In light of my Essential Mix being chosen for BBC Radio 1's classic series earlier in the month, I decided to kick off the year with a selection of some of the tracks included, a few of which are different edits/mixes to those featured back in 2009 when the mix first aired.

MINISTRY OF SOUND LONDON 29.01.22 (greg wilson live mix)

Made some stems, replaced the drums and percs.....and a major re-arrange. Hope you like.

Change - Hold Tight (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Originally did a rework of this about 12 years ago, for Sonny Fodera's label (yeah THAT Sonny Fodera). Decided it was time to have another pop. Replaced percussion and drums, tweaked the arrangement, added FX. and a little filtering. Hope you like.

Change - A Lover's Holiday (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Had a great OOFT dub of this from a while back, but id managed to lose it. So decided to make my own version. New drums and percs, cut out a lot of the verses, and concentrated on the wig outs. Hope you like.

Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom (Pete Le Freq Jazzed Out Dub)

So was looking at some Herbie albums from the 80s,  and this stood out....usual stuff gone on.... hope you like.

Herbie Hancock - The Bomb (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Another one of those "ooooh that could work" moments. Usual stuff, hope you like.

Herbie Hancock - Cant Hide Your Love (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Bit of Quincy for you. Played around with he arrangement, added new drums and percs, and FX. Hope you like.

QJ - Betcha Wouldn't Hurt Me (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

So found this on a comp Id bought for something else....fired it up and....this happened.

The Emotions  - I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

If ever there was someone who the phrase “How does he find time to make that?” was about, serial editor and remixer Pete Le Freq is it. His reworks have been played on BBC Radio 6 regularly by Craig Charles, and DJs the world over, and the sheer number of tracks he produces have caused people to suggest he doesn't sleep much.

Pete started producing over 12 years ago, and made a bit of noise with his house label Llama Farm Recordings. He's been remixed by Jay-J, Eric Kupper and Kenny Summit, appeared on compilations with Joey Negro and LCD Soundsystem, and played alongside  the likes of Crazy P, Inland Knights, CagedBaby and a few others. 

Since discovering the things he was sampling were better than the things he was making, Pete found that retouching and reworking the originals gave him his producing mojo back, and soon after Alpaca Edits was born. 

The York based edits label has since become home to disco superstars such as Dr Packer, Chuggin Edits, and Mannix. He’s been resident DJ at Sotano in York for the last 7 years, and this has fuelled his productions to greater heights. He’s known for playing 5 hour sets that incorporate both his new productions and others versions of serious disco action.

2019 has seen Pete get a vinyl release alongside the likes of Fingerman, Al Kent and Sleazy McQueen on Samosa Recordings, produce remixes for the likes of Hot Digits and Midnight Riot, as well as having 4 eps of his reworks on his own Alpaca Edits. He’s also debuted at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield, and made a return to rock the Toil Trees stage at Beatherder for the second year running. 

November saw him support Michael Gray and Fingerman at Distrikt in Leeds and Derek Kaye in York. The year ended with him beating the likes of Mousse T and Ray Mang in the Traxsource Nu-Disco Top 100 Artists of the year. 

Lockdown saw Pete go into rework overdrive, running a weekly Thursday night stream, as well as starting a regular show on Street Sounds Radio. He also worked with Ashley Slater of Freak Power on some original tracks.

2021 has seen the return of Pete’s That Needs An Edit nights in York, and will culminate in December with a guest slot from Shaka Loves You.
Roll on 2022!
