September 23 Refreqs

Seamus Haji and Those Guys' 'I Walk Alone (For Your Love)' has already proved its disco credentials on many a dancefloor, swiftly becoming a Big Love catalogue essential since its release in 2020. Now two of the labels' nearest-and-dearest step up on remix duties, with French nu-disco maestro Art Of Tones adding to the soulful of the original with a more down-tempo mix, and Australian re-edit master Dr Packer lending his signature funk for something deeper and groovier.

The Trammps - Love Insurance Policy. (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

This remix was part of the 2004 Japan only Soul Source Remixed Boogies CD (http://www.discogs.com/Various-Soul-Source-Remixed-Boogies/release/854086) It is a shorter and much stripped down version that features a lot of unheard original vocals from Sylvester's backing vocalists Martha Wash & Izora Armstead AKA Two Tons Of Fun. The longer, fuller, Maxi Disco Blend version came out initially as a Japanese Red promo 12", then on a "Faux" Fantasy Promo 12" and was finally made more widely available on my In The House Of Love compilation with Defected in 2006

Morning Munchies EP

PREMIERE: Vaudafunk - Piano Track [Chop Shop Music]

My little version of a classic, with some dusty beats and a gospel vibe. Played by Dimitri From Paris, which is pretty awesome. 
Hope you like it :)

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!
