Fred has been featured on Noisey, Apple Beats1, WorldwideFM.
June 24th KAY SUZUKI (London, UK)
One of the founding members of East London’s audiophile restaurant brilliant corners and played a major role in establishing the venue’s character & sound until 2016. His sets carry the impression of an atomic collision of funk/jazz-infused energy with an electronic severity that you just can’t quite locate.
*MAJ (a.k.a. My Analog Journal) is a YouTube channel that curates vinyl-only mixes on a weekly basis. Every mix focuses on a certain genre, country, or region, era, or simply an idea or a theme. It all started with Zag Erlat in late 2017. He found his new passion and desire to create more vinyl-only episodes and share the music he loves with the people of the internet, which eventually turned into an online community.
*Jazz re:freshed is created by Justin McKenzie & Adam Moses as a music movement that started with a humble vision in the early summer of 2003. The movement was built around its weekly live residency in the heart of West London, covering the whole spectrum of jazz and jazz-influenced. Everything that’s fresh about jazz is hopefully reflected in the philosophy and delivery of Jazz re:freshed and its numerous projects – the colour, the creativity, the artistry, the boundless expression.
