Multi-track freakout alert!
My take on a Philly soul classic - stems plus an odd bit of percussion, new arrangement, mixing and FX.....

The SO - Chicago Bus Stop (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

Worcester's foremost and most renowned resident pop, soul, funk, cheese, dance, house, hip hop and everything else in-between re-editor and the inventor of broken yacht rock.

DJ'd everywhere in my local area over the years, various parts of the UK and all over Europe with a lot of very nice big and unknown people whose names I can't be bothered to type because my head would quite literally explode.

I was part of the initial bastard pop mashup scene with my Rolling Stones/Rockerfell Skank & Jon Cutler/Usher tracks getting heavily bootlegged.

Member of the infamous DCN dance music co-operative and the award winning dancefrontdoor and dancenova websites.

For all my Woo Woo peeps, I was once described by Johnny Scratch/Tanz as the man who least looks like a dj :)

Milwaukee DJ curating and sharing dope shit (currently on a dnb kick but posting any and all genres)...Big Up to all the producers who Ive copped so many free jams from...your sound has support in MKE and is valuable to the world:)

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!
