Mz amERIKA aka MC Party Mouth was a staple on the SF House Scene from '93 to '98. Club DV8T, Club Townsend, 1015 Folsom, The Pit, a few others, but most importantly she could be found at the END UP on Sunday morning to Monday Morning. She is most known for her non-stop twirling, floor tours, confetti throwing, rainbow suspenders (90s) and tool belt (now).

 "I am building a better house on the dance floor, I have to have a place for my tools and my towel. I'm here to work this floor, you never know what tools you might need." - Mz amERIKA

Most notably you can recognize her on any dance floor, calling out to the music and creating an inclusive vibe for all the groovers. She records whatever comes out and uses it to create funky fun house lyrics with attitude. She began writing lyrics in 2005, but tucked them away. She wasn't ready. 10 years later the lyrics resurfaced and she knew it was time. She's putting all her love, light, power and wisdom into this house to create a true vibe. Keep an ear out for her new "Love Note House Music" collaborations with local and global DJs.

"I thank the Baby J for the Dj that helps me get through the crap that comes my way."


Catch her live show GRUVMNT on SugarShackRadio.com every Sunday from 5pm and 7 pm Pac / 7pm to 9pm Cen & Mex.  The Last Sunday of the month on Como se dice House? We elevate and celebrate Latin House, Latin@ DJs and those from Spain tambien.

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!
