Born in Hull and raised in Quebec City, Fred caught the bug early for electronic music in high school, working summer jobs wash-ing dishes to buy his first synths. He then formed a few bands while spending his weekends as the youngest kid in local nightclubs. In the early 90s, he started playing live in raves and clubs across Canada. His first releases came out on labels such as DIY (UK), Vinyl Peace and ultimately 20:20 Vision, which launched Fred’s career in the UK and worldwide.

In the years that followed Fred Everything had an extremely fruitful time in the studio- both as a producer and remixer, releasing on countless respectable house music labels including launching his own Lazy Days imprint in 2005. The first release, Friday (Remixed by Trentemoller) became an instant classic and is still to this day the best seller on the label. Fast forward 10 years later, and Lazy Days has put out over 50 releases by esteemed artists such as : Shur-I-Kan, Ian Pooley, Kruse & Nuernberg, Atjazz, Tortured Soul, Crazy P, Greg Wilson as well as Fred’s own original projects, collaborations and remixes.

Successful in the licensing department, his productions have appeared on over 150 compilations worldwide by various artists such as Danny Tenaglia, Steve Lawler, Pete Tong, H-Foundation and Miguel Migs on labels like Fabric, Defected, Ministry of Sound, NRK, Universal and countless Ibiza compilations. His music was also used heavily for shows on MTV and was licensed to Virgin Airlines for their onboard entertainment system.

As a DJ, Fred has been a fixture in clubs worldwide, with his unique energetic style of mixing and ability to play with styles. He’s held residencies at SONA, Stereo and Salon Daome in Montreal as well as Next Door (Honolulu), Footwork (Toronto) and regular spots in places like Fabric (London), Smart Bar (Chicago) and Mighty(San Francisco). With over a million miles flown throughout the years, he’s played just about everywhere in the world with regular tours in Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, playing in cities such as Tel Aviv, Moscow, Istanbul, Sao Paulo and Dubai. He has also performed a festivals such as Coachella, Outside Lands, Woogie Weekend, Pik Nic Electronik, Igloofest, Coincidance, Francofolies de Larochelle and many more.

Undisputed - Slip'N'Slide Compilation

611 - Slip 'N' Slide - Undisputed mixed by Dubfire & Sharam (1995)

To celebrate our 700th CD. We've connected with an originator of the scene. John Acquaviva. Who introduces his mix with a look back at his early career and talks about the importance of the mix CD as an art form.

Here's a few words from John:
'It's a pleasure to come together with The Classic Mix CD Series to celebrate their 700th release that reflects and honors what for many is a lost art. That of the mix CD. Cutting my own teeth as a teenager before getting my nightclub gigs, i would make my  mix cassettes and hand them out to shops and friends.  Once I started to tour the world and as our seen grew i treated my mix cds as my album releases. for me these albums were a collage of other peoples works but newly interpreted though my mixing. The title BACK TO BASICS resonates with me as much today as it did around 2004 when techno was too hard, house was to easy and many artist re-energized by going back to the middle where it felt right. Not all the songs aged well, but listening to this brought me back to a wonderful time when it made sense to step back reflect and realize that sometimes, the best way to recalibrate is to get BACK TO BASICS, enjoy the mix'.

Essential Mix 2000-01-02 - Mr. C

Hey, Gareth here, I'm a graphic designer who start designing for clubs, parties, and labels in the late 90s. Back then, mix CDs were the holy grail of both design and music. I loved them.

But I wasn't the only one, mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties and lives, for everyone. Yet in today's internet age, the art form has been lost (or just changed) to 2-3 hour online mixes and streaming videos, which just don't create the same magic your CD collection did. Just 60 minutes of music and incredible artwork.

The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

About Gareth:
Digital creative type, gamer, music lover and occasional DJ. Currently living between Dubai & Seoul after setting sail from Sunderland in 2010. As a young designer, club and music culture was the driving force for his work, producing artwork for local club nights and record labels in the North East of England. In particular, DJ mix cds and their packaging were always his 'holy grail of design', especially those from Renaissance, Global Underground and Good Looking Records. It's a pleasure to share these discs back with people and they still influence our tastes to this day.
