Another one for the London peeps; happening this Saturday night at the brilliant Studio Spaces venue in Shoreditch, Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium is going to be creating pure vibes with records. Put on as one of the ever-good Make Me Loft Party events, who never did anything but an amazing party when we were in attendance, you know it’s going to be good.
As well as running his own Soul People Music imprint the NYC producer has released heat on some of our favourite labels, including Mule Electronic and Underground Quality. Most importantly though he’s got skills on decks and a record collection to spin for days. We were lucky to see this in full force at Village Underground a few years ago, a memorable night with some incredible tunes played.
Check this mix he uploaded back in May of a three and a half hour set live from The Block in Tel Aviv.

Make Me return for the August session at their cosy Studio Spaces loft with one of the most prolific acts in house and techno of recent years, New York native Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium. His uncompromising approach seeks to enlighten his audience with distinctly raw and emotive sound design which have led to his work appearing on prestigious labels such as Berlin’s pace-setting Ostgut Ton and Jus-Ed‘s Underground Quality.
Utilizing his Soul People Music imprint as a home for like-minded artists and peers such as Levon Vincent, Move D, Joey Anderson and Aybee, he recently released his third album Codes And Metaphors on the label under his Black Jazz Consortium guise. The LP explicitly showaces his adept ability to craft material for EP’s as well as long players and documents the progression of his sound – seamlessly marrying free jazz, experimental house and dub techno together.
Behind the decks he successfully adapts his production style to DJ-ing, exploring a variety of moods and grooves that are equally at home in intimate venues as they are on bigger stages and the Studio Spaces Loft is the perfect canvas for an artist of his calibre to create an unforgettable soundtrack to this Saturday night. As per usual Make Me residents Rubin, Rupes and Nic Baird will be setting the tone for Fred’s ethereal transmissions with their broad musical taste that consistently bring out the best in the bespoke Funktion 1 system, supplied by the ever-dependable Sound Services.
On a sort of similar tip, Hydra have announced lineups for their series over the next few months, and it’s epic. We’ll be covering as much as possible from those nights, so watch this space for the forthcoming season.
