When OM Records launched their new “OM Masters” mix CD series, there couldn’t be a better choice to mix the first installment than the deep house veteran FRED EVERYTHING. Fred is known worldwide for one thing – making and playing outstanding music. He truly is a master both behind the decks and in the studio, and we’re excited to welcome this visionary artist back to New York for two back-to-back events. On Saturday July 17th, Fred will be headlining Basic NYC at Sullivan Room, and on Sunday July 18th Basic is bringing Fred down to the Water Taxi Beach South Street Seaport for an all-day and evening waterfront fiesta. Get ready for two diverse sets of lush, soulful music from one of the best in the scene.
“OM Masters” does a fantastic job of showcasing Fred’s many and diverse musical talents .As a DJ, Fred seamlessly weaves together the CD’s 14 tracks, creating the type of atmosphere that can be heard in his DJ sets. Deep house, midtempo disco, tracky and jazzy productions: all these sounds come together when Fred is in the mix. His own productions are in the spotlight throughout the mix, with practically every track a Fred Everything remix, original or collaboration. It’s a testament to Fred’s dedication to his craft.
Fred has a long history of working closely with OM Records. His last artist album – the acclaimed “Lost Together”- was released on OM in 2008, and he mixed his own “House of OM” compilation in 2005. Along the way he’s had numerous singles and remixes released on OM. In addition, Fred’s own Lazy Days Recordings has been one of the underground’s standout labels, releasing nothing but standout singles from a huge array of artists. Shur-I-Kan, Trentemoller, Lovebirds, Kruse & Nuernberg and Fred Everything himself have all added their touch to some of the Lazy Days releases.
It’s been a little bit since Fred was last in New York, so for this visit he’s getting the opportunity to really show what his DJing is all about. Saturday will feature Fred dropping a primetime headlining set at the Sullivan Room, one of the very first venues Fred ever played in New York. On Sunday, Fred will be dropping a more laid back, daytime set as we take the party to the gorgeous Water Taxi Beach South Street Seaport. This will be an excellent chance to hear one of electronic music’s most accomplished artist in the ideal settings.
Joining Fred for these events will be Basic NYC residents Sleepy & Boo, who have presented multiple Sullivan Room and Water Taxi jams throughout this summer. There willl be plenty of NYC’s talented locals along for the ride as well, with Anthony Velarde, and DBOW and Chris Love highlighting Sullivan Room. Down Deep, Chuck Acquisto and the Mixer Assassin duo are all on the lineup at Water Taxi Beach on Sunday. Let’s go deep for two special days of music with Fred Everything.
