Tomás knows, as much as this car is in need of a detail, it’s almost more desperate for a friendly mechanic. Or maybe just a friend at this point. You’d need a whole team to mount a comeback for this Mondial, so much so that it’s probably not worth it. The clean up alone would take a few days, not to mention restoring the paintwork, interior, and replacing the glass. One thing’s for sure, it’s still a Ferrari – and while natural selection is a bitch, I’m sure glad Ferrari has moved on…

.accelerates and tries to catch up with the person, but, though it gets faster, they somehow never meet. This is interesting because it sheds new light on the old paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, whereby Achilles cannot catch up with the tortoise. This is the elementary machinery of dream logic. So why do I mention this? Isn't this mixture of extreme mobility and immobility also our situation as cinema or video spectators? We are, as spectators, having our own mobility reduced, while...this incisive reminder still evokes a cutting operation, if not a butchery: a kind of violence — the word flesh if found in the family, just as graphy is a scratch. Higher and further back, to write is to curve meet. Writing is the curve that the turn of seeking has already evoked for us and that we find in the bending of reflection.

Roots in Lounge/House beats back in my early 20s mixing on Vinyl but these days I'e taken the scenic route via Deep House and landed at Funk n Soul. Wanting to provide a soundtrack with a big kick for a party at anytime of day. Im digging big edits of some of the great old sounds.

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!
