FREDFADES – OCTOBER DIGGIN’ TAPE 2009

Aight.. My newest diggintape..This one is kinda different from the ones.. This one is actually avaliable as a hardcopy version splitted into tracks. This one has loads of international music on it, with tracks from India, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Canada, America, Poland, Japan, Sweden, United Kingdom & Israel. All types of music like funk, soul, disco, jazz, fusion, folk, soundtracks, bollywood music, mod, psych, prog & exotica. I don’t have any library on it this time, and reason why is because I’ve bought tons of libraries lately, but I am saving them up for a upcoming library tape. I don’t have any brazilian stuff on this tape either.. Reason why: They good brazilian ones are’nt really just laying around in Oslo.. And I have’nt been outside of Norway since the Portland trip.. By the way.. There’s a couple of leftovers from the Portland tape here aswell. Records I wanted to include in the tape, but did’nt get in cause I had to much music in there already… There’s some originals on this tape aswell. Originals for tracks by Fredfades & Deckdaddy, DJ Premier/Cee-Lo, Madlib/Quasimoto, Alchemist, Damu the Fudgemunk/Y Society, DJ Babu, Evidence/Dilated Peoples, Kankick, RZA/Wu-Tang, Outcast, Three-Six-Mafia, 9th Wonder/Little Brother, Edan, ANT/Felt +++.

This time also avaliable as a hardcopy version. Get at me! Paypal 25 USD to fredfades@gmail.com for a hardcopy version of the mixtape plus worldwide shipping!

So… Hardcopies avliable for sale in a few days..

OSLO SP ENSEMBLE – SP SHIT VOL. 4

It’s official – Hot damn hoe, here we go again. The newest installment in our SP Shit series. Of course the whole thing is single floppy SP beats. No external samplers was used – as usual. We tried to make this one a little shorter than the other ones, but we’re making too much beats so we had to pack this one aswell. This one has been ready for a while, but I’ve been spending too much time on the cover design. Only reason why it has’nt dropped earlier. This time, we will also do a hardcopy version, splitted in tracks, and of course the sound quality is lots better than this lousy mp3 file. It will be available for sale on my blog if you come back in a week or something.

In the meanwhile, kick back and enjoy the MP3 version here:

FREDFADES – SEPT. ‘09 HIPHOP TAPE.

So, here we go again.. My first post on the blog since the Ivy League EP. A huge amount of the copies are gone. Hurry up if you want a copy. Recently, I figured out that I have’nt done a proper hiphop mix since october in 08, so I did a new one for you this sunday. Multitracked and shit, with some nice blends etc. I also included some unreleased stuff of myself in here.. The intro plus a Big L remix. But everything else on this mix was done with real vinyl records. No Serato/Microwave was used here. Fuck a microwave, yo. Everything in this mix is possible to get on vinyl. Some of the stuff is pretty rare thou.. Please feel free to post the link/mix around everywhere you want. It’s a free tape and people are supposed to hear it.

IVY LEAGUE – THE BRAINS EP OUT NOW !!!

So… Finally, here we go… The long awaited Ivy League EP is here. “The Brains EP”. Vinyl only, limited to 300 copies. It arrived yesterday and I had to drive all over the bay in Oslo to find the fucking warehouse who had them. The EP is a collaboration between The Oslo SP Ensemble (which is Fredfades, Deckdaddy & John Rice) and Ivy League. It is released on my own, newly started label Reppin Outta Control. Most of the people who check my blog might know Deckdaddy & John Rice. You might not know Ivy League thou. He is a super skilled norwegian rapper, rapping in english. We teamed up about a year ago, and here’s the result. A six track long EP on vinyl, with instrumental versions for all the tracks. The quality on the vinyl is superb, and the sound aswell – It’s mastered by Christian @ Strype Studios in Oslo… Thanks Christian. The whole EP is produced on the legendary SP1200, and all raps are recorded between the shelves in my vinyl storage room on a cheap microphone. But it still sounds super crisp, cause we know how to listen to music and how to mix our own shit. By the way.. I also did the design for the EP.

TRACKLIST:
01. Nunchuckz
02. What Up Walt Whitman
03. Street Sharks & Biker Mice
04. Necessities
05. Travels Of Ed Grieg
06. I Hate People

FREDFADES – THE PORTLAND MIX 2009 !!!

So, here we go.. This was supposed to be released on a CD.. But seriously, fuck that. I feel like sharing it on my blog… I went to Portland with my friend Lars this summer, and of course we bought shitloads of records.. This mix is made out of 50% of the records I got when I was over there.. I also included a few records I got right before and right after the trip, but almost everything on here is from the Portland trip. Speacial thanks to Lars, Ryan, Colton, Kevin, Brian, DJ Kez & Dundiggy for the great time we had over there.. Thanks to Ryan, Colton & My girlfriend for hooking me up with some of the records. The mix includes jazzy stuff, funky stuff, soulful stuff, library music, brazilian records, turkish records, american records, european records, and other wierd shit. Everything you hear is originals. No reissues.There’s also some blends in the mix. You should be able to hear this..

If you wanna see pictures from the trip, go to this link: Fredfades Portland Pics 09

The mix is build up by chapters/parts:

01. Intro/60’s Rock-chapter.
02. For the Rappers/Breakbeat-chapter.
03. For the Jazzcats.
04. For the Dancers/Groove-chapter.
05. For the LAte Nights/Chillout-chapter.

As usual, I am not putting up any tracklist, but if I ever do the hardcopy version I was thinking of doing, I will include a complete tracklist.

FREDFADES – EASTER PARADE 2009

So, It’s easter.. Im currently changing out my whole kitchen & bathroom, so I moved my studio to my friends house. I was supposed to go out this weekend, but ended up buying records both days, ended up buying beers both days and ended up making beats in his house out of my new records while drinking beers both days. This resulted in a mini-beattape called “Easter Parade 2009″. 13 tracks for all you dudes to bang during the easter. The beats got a little more bass than I usally use to have, this is cause they’re produced on monitors i usally don’t use, and I’ve recorded them through a exciter in another studio which I don’t usally use either.

TRACKLIST:

#01 /// 00:00 The Fredfades Song / Intro (Baby)
#02 /// 02:27 Easter Space ***
#03 /// 03:31 Easter Crime 2009 (Gangsta)
#04 /// 04:53 Blame it on the Easter (Hi Blame) ***
#05 /// 06:15 Jazz Lessons
#06 /// 06:57 Easter Anthem
#07 /// 09:06 Harp Trash
#08 /// 09:25 The Indian Easter
#09 /// 11:55 Blunted Easter Hipsterz
#10 /// 13:12 Barfight (Rowdy)
#11 /// 14:05 Easter Smell
#12 /// 14:39 Doinithard (For my dudes)
#13 /// 17:18 Outro

FEBRUARY UPDATE WITH REMIXES

Its febrauary, and I just wanted to give people a little update on what we’re working on. When i say WE, i mean WE. The Oslo SP Ensemble… Next up is the EP we’ve done with norwegian rapper Ivy League from Stavanger in Norway, which is one of Norways best rappers right now. Don’t be afraid when I say norwegian rapper, he is rappin in english. The EP is 6 tracks long, and we’re pressing it on vinyl. The A-Side is the songs, the B-side is the instros. We’re currently busy doing the artwork and gathering up money for the pressing. The first picture shows my friend Christian OB mastering the whole thing at Strype Studios. This guy knows what he is doing. I love the masters.

The next pics shows Jeru live, some silly cellphone pics i took yesterday. I also included a pic of me and Vetle with Jeru. Drunk as hell. We went to a show with Jeru, Paris, Lords of the Underground, The Alkaholiks & The Beatnuts. Shit was fiyah.

Since it’s friday, and I assume all of you have gathered up as many beers as me, I will include two remixes for y’all to get drunk to:

FREDFADES & DECKDADDY VS. OH NO & KAZI – YOU WANNA TAKE THIS (O.P. ROCK CITY REMIX)

JOHN RICE VS. MAD SKILLZ – HEADNOD REMIX
