Without doubt my favourite show this year, so it was the perfect time to release a set that combines all things Krafty. I put months into this show with loads of exclusive edits, remixes & unreleased tracks. The Fractal Forest is a very special place to perform & a massive shout goes to my buddy DJ Maculate who provided amazing visuals for this set which is available on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMXX3tpWltk&t=680s

Shambhala Fractal Forest DJ Mix 2025

I present to you my second set from the Freezer Burn 2025 weekend. I had the great honor of being invited back to perform at the one and only Yellow Dubmarine sound stage for my second consecutive year. I played this set on the Sunday afternoon at 5pm which was one of the few times during the weekend that the sky opened up, giving the sun just enough of an opportunity to shine bright and stifle the rain that was so unpredictably relentless all weekend. 
It was the perfect vibe for a late afternoon set that led everyone into preparation for the Temple Burn later that evening. 
Big thanks to everyone who came out for this and to the amazing crew at Yellow Dubmarine for all their hard work and hospitality. A special thank you to Swaggacats for having a second hand wedding dress for me to wear and for the telephone headset which was perfect for creating a dancefloor full of wildly confused faces.

Yellow Dubmarine 2025 (Freezer Burn)

It was once again an absolute honour and privilege to play in Swingamajig at Shambala 2025, every time I leave this festival full of joy and my soul fully replenished, can't wait to do it all over again.

Before the festival a challenge was made to put together a set that fitted the venue and the wider Festivals vibe. It was a whole lot of fun liberally sprinkling some Swingamajig & Shambala magic throughout this set.

Hope this brings back some joyous memories for those that were there and piques the interest to sample Shambala in 2026 for those that weren't. x

Fort Knox Five at Somewhere (Bass Coast 2025)

On October 19th, Christina and I celebrated 10 incredible years together. It’s been a decade of growth, change, and a whole lot of love. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s always been worth it. We’ve shared every high and low, and I’m proud of the life we’ve built side by side. I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years have in store. Love you more than anything. <3 <3 <3
Every year, I create a new Elephant Shoe mix for her. This is my way of saying what words don’t always capture. Volume 9 might be one of my favorite yet, but each one tells a different part of our story. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did creating it. 

Love Freddy + Stina

The Gaff Live at Bass Coast 2025

I'm packing up all my vinyl soon, and putting it in storage.  Naturally, I had to pick my old favs, and have a jam.  This mix is part ONE of three that I recorded last week.  I tried to choose tracks I haven't heard in 10-20 years.  Less popular tunes, that might not be available in digital formats.  Mostly Liquid Funk, Dubwise, and vocal Rollers.  See how many of these classics you remember!

No tracklist, but you can try Shazam.

This the Qdup remix for All Good Funk Alliance's "Go-Go Bananas" featuring vocals from our good friend Mustafa Akbar, which is featured on AGFA's "Jacks of All Trades Remixed EP #3". I took a kind of disco alien space funk direction for this remix of one of my favorite tracks from Jacks of All Trades.

Now available early and exclusively on Beatport from Fort Knox Recordings.
