Last Friday it was our pleasure to welcome Fredfades to A Downtown Affair. He flew in from Oslo for a week-long stay in New York where we got a chance to have him on the air and share a gig by way of an invite from Future Funk’s Sport Casual. Fred throws his regular Touchdown party in Oslo with Dirty Hans where they specialize in boogie, modern soul and disco. There’s actually one tomorrow night (April 6th)! For this episode we structured things a bit differently, short sets of a few distinct styles. Fred opened with a great assortment of boogie, some from his homeland which he kindly donated to Mike and I. His other set opens with an unreleased acetate from James Mason before setting off on a fantastic modern soul mix to close out the evening. If you like what you hear, be sure to check his soundcloud for more music. Last but not least, special thanks to Sport Casual for inviting us on for the inaugural night of Sunrise Social Club! Looking forward to more!
