Black Jazz Consortium, Codes and Metaphors 3
May 14, 2013 – 12:01 AM

Efdemin, Chicago Remixes (2)
January 17, 2012 – 11:01 AM
This latest batch of Chicago remixes — featuring Deadbeat, Fred P, Rndm, and Efdemin himself — doesn’t exactly reimagine the material as a Tavi Gevinson ensemble, at least one of the inclusions may turn some heads.

Ryo Murakami’s latest for Curle Recordings further cements his reputation with two stunning cuts of deep Detroit flavored house and an equally remarkable interpretation of the title track by Fred P.

Various Artists, Semesters II
August 19, 2010 – 9:01 AM

Fred P., On This Vibe
June 7, 2010 – 10:01 PM
While Fred is one lynchpins of the resurgent New York house sound, On This Vibe — fittingly on Esperanza, a Spanish label — goes back in time to classics like Sueno Latino’s eponymous hit or the “ambient house” of 808 State for inspiration.
