  • Radio OK Fred 15

    It’s been another very long hiatus — obviously due to me breaking my spine — be the OK Fredders are finally back for a new episode of Radio OK Fred. It’s episode 15, and it’s our special Christmas show. Also, thanks to Djay — which is what I’ve been using at my PLAY events —…

  • PLAY 03

    Cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop — at least that’s how I feel about PLAY, so yes, Vol. 3 is happening this coming Friday (December 18) at Cafe Pause. This will probably be the last one I do this year, and I think I’ll try to make it a bit Christmas-y. We’re…

  • Game

    What do I do on Friday nights? Well, this last one I decided to build a site from scratch from an idea I had earlier this week (last Saturday night, actually) and the result is now online, and called Game. As I explain in the “About” page, the idea is simply to recommend games —…

  • PLAY 02 Tonight

    Just a reminder that PLAY 02 happens tonight (December 12) at Cafe Pause, which means I’ll be DJing from 21:00 to 23:00. For an idea of what I play, have a look at the set lists for PLAY 00 and PLAY 01.
