So was mucking about with Chicago  - Street Player.....and this happened.

Pete Le Freq - Chicago Player

This happened. Have reworked it back in my house days. Now....updated....

Lakeside - Fantastic Voyage (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

The Whispers - And The Beat Goes On (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

So heard the @thereflex play his version about 3 years ago. Still havent seen it. So.....thought Id make my own. 
New drums, tweaked arrangement and new FX.... hope you like.

Mick Jackson - Weekend (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Found this on a Paradise Garage playlist, loved the slightly more laid back feel. Added new drums and percs, trimmed it down a tad, added FX.
Hope you like.

Lenny Williams - You Got Me Running To You (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Tricky one this. Started out as a Gary's Gang rework, realised that 70% of that track is pretty horrible apart from the jazz and funk sections towards the end that got sampled. "For a laugh" lined up the @dr-packer acapella, and this happened. New drums and percs and FX.

Soulsearcher - Can't Get Enough (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Went through Evelyn's back cat....think theres some great stuff. Here's the first of the batch. New drums, percs, FX and arrangement. Hope you like.

Evelyn Champagne King - Let's Get Funky Tonight (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Not going to lie. This one was an absolute pain in the bum to do.
Timing issues, weird length loops. 
Anyways, hope I've managed to give you guys something that works.

Rare Pleasure - Let Me Down Easy (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

So was digging through ECK's back cat, and stumbled on this. The same source was used by @levisiteuronline for his excellent "Let The Sunshine" rework.
This uses some of the same material, my own drums. and percs - but.the other half of the musical elements. Anyways, hope you dig.

Evelyn Champagne King - Age Of Aquarius (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Trimmed this down, gave it a bit of a rearrange. Think we could all do with a bit of this sentiment right now. Hope you like.

Al Hudson & Soul Partners - Spread Love (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Was looking though a few compilations and found this - now given a refreq. Trimmed a lot of the wonky jazz stuff off the end as it was a bit mental. Anyways, hope you dig.

Ramona Brooks - I Don't Want You Back (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Just popped this together. New drums and percs and Fx.

Donna Washington - Save All Your Love For Me (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Got distracted by this, extended, edited and ready ;-)

Gene Dunlap - Party In Me (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

This happened. Thought we could do with a little lift.

Jimmy Bo Horne - Get Happy (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Err, this happened. New drums fx, arrangement, and percs. Hope you like.

Delegation - Heartache No 9 (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Found this on a @daveleezr Brit Funk album, and thought it could do with a little dance floor beef-up.  Tweaked the arrangement, added new drums and FX. Hope you like.

Metropole - Miss Manhattan (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!
