BACKYARD JOINTS presents: FREDFADES & IVAN AVE (Oslo / NO) >>> LIVE / BEAT SET
- Fredfades & Ivan Ave (Oslo / NO) (King Underground Records / Jakarta Records)
"For those that haven’t heard of Fredfades, he’s a hip hop producer/DJ
originating from Norway. Fred’s a well-travelled DJ who’s played all
over Europe & the US. He’s been collecting vinyl from the early age
of 14 and collects all kinds of music from, jazz, modern soul, boogie,
mid 60's psych to late-eighties electronic dance music.
Fred is
one-third of the crew; along with partners Deckdaddy & John Rice
the three together make “The Oslo SP Ensemble”. They've released a
series of CDs called the “SP Shit Series” which have become
cult-classics among the SP-1200 producers around the world. There are
five volumes, all available for free download, which you can find online. The crew haven’t released anything together for a while but Fred
has continued to put out beat tapes on his own and has a lot of music
in the stash.
Ivan Ave’s real name is Eivind Øygarden. He’s 25
and comes from Telemark, Norway. He’s a DJ/MC and record collector who
collects jazz, funk and soul and was part of the Norwegian hip hop group
“The Afeeliated”. Ivan teaches music, English & cooking in a junior
high school in Norway. After making contact with Fredfades his main
focus has been to build and make music together, merely for the love of
it.
Fred and Ivan (who called himself Ivy League back then)
recorded an EP together back in 2009 which they called ‘The Brains’ EP.
They released it on Fred’s own label, “Reppin' Outta Control”. There
were three producers doing the beats back then, Deckdaddy, John Rice
& Fredfades. Fred first met Ivan Ave at a party through some
graffiti dudes they both knew. He had already heard his music with
Bishop (part of the group “The Afeeliated”) and knew he was a skilled
rapper. The two then followed up “The Brains” EP with a free digital EP
called ‘Pine Trees’. Ivan then focused on a new project with Bishop
following up with a new volume of the mix tape “Saving The City”. (They
put out two mix tapes with the same name).
After that Ivan Ave
moved to Oslo. The two started to hang out more and started recording new music. Fred’s philosophy has always been to create "theme-less"
music without trying to work to a concept/sound and to build up a
collection of the songs to pick from. He’s on the beats 24-7, his
archive is HUGE so it’s a tough pick. Some of the beats on the “Breathe” project are old and some are relatively new. Ivan was given carte
blanche, writing to whatever he was feeling, then Fred took care of the
mixing and tried to make a red line sound wise. The combination of these
two is so fresh and brings a new, whilst still classic, sound to the
game."

"In the times of hundreds of announcements, view counter races,
omnipresent promotional propaganda, so called “independent scene” being
much closer mainstream pop music than to uncompromising vanguard, Graf
Cratedigger is doing his always own thing, never rushed to release next
project. Queen Size Records is pleased to announce the arrival of
his new creation „Journey / Evolution”. This time Graf has decided to
take You on a spectacular 33 RPM trip to the unknown. The main concept
behind the album can be expressed by the equation: Journey = Evolution =
Searchin’ = Creadiggin'. Graf Cratedigger is joined by live
musicians, DJ's and MC's from Poland, USA and Canada. The spectacular
artwork and visual presentation is the creation of Sainer from Etam Cru. The
album is released on chocolate colour vinyl and comes with a large
poster and download code for high quality digital format. Chocolate
vinyl edition is limited to: 100 copies."

extraordinaire production duo Jazz Spastiks and Los Angeles based emcees
Rebels To The Grain (Cheddy & MP). First hooking up around
2009, these 2 like-minded artists have quietly been working on this
full-length project. Consisting of a combination of old and new tracks,
'Unkut Fresh' LP is most definitely worth the wait!"
