Recording of my 5 hour set from https://www.sparkyork.org/  

Part 1

I've been listening to, dancing to, and DJing House Music since back in the day. I consider myself a bit of a student when it comes to the history of the scene, and I'm a fan of legendary venues like Paradise Garage, The Warehouse, and Muzic Box—though I was never lucky enough to experience them firsthand. However, I did get to go to The Hacienda, Quadrant Park, The Sound Factory, and Shelleys.
I originally learned to mix vinyl on a pair of belt-driven turntables before switching to digital about five years ago. Why does this matter? Because learning to DJ on vinyl gives you a deep appreciation for the music and an intuitive feel for what works and what doesn’t. It teaches you to read the flow of a track, knowing exactly when to mix in and out to keep the crowd engaged.
I’m now based in New York City but am originally from the Northwest of the UK, where I played clubs and bars around Liverpool and Manchester. I always believed had the best scene and atmosphere. If you’ve ever been to Quadrant Park, or the Blackburn Raves in the 90s, then you know exactly what I mean. DJs like Andy Carroll, Mike Knowler, Graeme Park and Mike Pickering where DJs who were truly ahead of their time and a big inspiration to me in my early days of learning the art of playing music for people. 
Musically, I now play everything from Detroit Techno and Tech House to Disco, Afro House, and Vocal House—touching on all points in between. My sets are inspired by the long, immersive journeys crafted by Junior Vasquez, Larry Levan, Sasha and Danny Tenaglia. I'm not particularly a fan of EDM, but as Carl Cox once said, "If EDM is your entry drug into the broad church of house music, then it’s all good—it leads to new places" (or words to that effect).

Human being living in Devon, England.

Pedro was born in Lisbon, Portugal and from very early in his life, has shown a big interest in music and radio. He started his DJ career in 1996.

 Pedro plays a wide selection of music, that ranges from soul, funk, disco, Brazilian and African grooves.
He also played and supported DJ’s and musicians like Kid Loco, Gotan Project, Roy Ayers, DJ Ride, Spaceboys and Melo D.

Pedro moved to Devon, England in 2013. lives near the city of Plymouth.

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!
