A busy dinner service in the new and beautiful "Mullumbimby Continental". We went through all the tender moments and all the dancing in your seat moments. This recording has been collecting dust on my desktop.  I am currently sitting on my cozy airbnb bed in Bristol ticking off all the to do's I didn't have Time to do at home. Feels good!

I hope you enjoy thisssss

Chaos Menu Conti

The second single by The Jade from their forthcoming debut album Love Harder (Out June 20th).

“Change!” is a soulful spark, a quiet explosion, where street soul meets Brit-funk, all wrapped in a subtle gospel glow. Angela Gooden doesn’t just sing about change, she gives it a voice and feeling, borne aloft by celestial choirs and a shimmering disco groove. It’s a reminder that change isn’t just inevitable: it’s a universal constant and as the rate of change accelerates, some things never change.


Having carved out a place in the contemporary club scene with releases on Glitterbox/Defected, Boogie Angst & Lovemonk Records amongst others, Madrid’s Casbah 73 recently shed his skin and is now ready to introduce The Jade, a live ensemble that prioritises emotion, feeling and the art of the song.

Led by Oli Stewart (Casbah 73), the project brings together a remarkable group of players. At its core, The Jade is about people: musicians in dialogue, shaping rhythms and melody, singing songs from the heart. It's that shared pulse based on a timeless musical vocabulary. The Jade's sound is post-pout and grid-free. It's raw soul, free from modern dancefloor tyranny. Intimate disco, dead selfie, jazz dance freedom and Iberican funk all rolled into one, rooted in emotion and shot through with a dose of funky afro-latin jazz rhythms. Genres that blend and bleed into each other but sharing a common thread, one stupidly simple idea: Songs. The expressive power of live instrumentation. Music.

Comin' atcha from behind the Tortilla Curtain (Madrid!), and spearheading the resistance you will find Chavi Ontoria on keys and David Salvador on bass, forming the rhythmic foundation. They’re joined by the rousing horns of Josué García and Dani Herrera and the vibrant voices of Deborah Ayo and Nia Martin. All the way from Montevideo, guitarist Nico Ibarburu contributes beautiful textures, while top notch artists such as Josh Hoyer, Angela Gooden, Ale Gutiérrez, Malcolm Strachan and others broaden and enrich the project’s emotional and musical range.

The Jade is a celebration of the human touch. It's a whole lotta love!

It was really nice to be asked to be the first in a series of guest mixes for Offie Mag because it took my mind off some of the things happening right now. I kicked the show off with Finesse - Feel It which I had on repeat after hearing these lyrics

"The time has come to make this world a better place, for good to win over evil there must be unity of race"

The mix is all UK original pressings from 1979 - 1984 with few classics and some lesser known cuts. Hope you enjoy!

Scarbee produces high quality Virtual Instruments and Sample Libraries.

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!
