Fred P
“Deep”, perhaps the word most associated with Fred P, and for once, an accurate portrayal. Eleven albums, innumerable releases and decades of DJing into his career, the New York-turned-Berlin resident continues to push further into his own sound. For those fortunate enough to be present for one of Fred's cathartic, physical and spiritual DJ sets, the dancefloor is not just a place for enjoyment, but for potential.
2018 saw Fred P bring his acclaimed Soul People Music outlet to an end and embrace a new label, Perpetual Sound. Launching with a record from arguably his best-loved alias, Black Jazz Consortium, the label will be guided solely by his proven eye for emotion and evolution, anticipating new collaborations and styles.
