Black Jazz Consortium Strucutre CD Release!!!
Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium (Soul People) celebrates the special CD release of “Structure” on Saturday Apr. 4 at halcyon 4-6pm
A voyage into the world of DJ Jus-Ed reveals an adventurous, energetic and spiritual style of playing quality house music. Music has always been a part of Ed’s life, starting at the tender of of six when he was a drummer touring with his grandparents’ jazz duo. Ed’s first foray into DJing began in 1982 and ended in 1985. He stayed away from DJing until 2001, when he launched Underground Quality as a series of parties at halcyon with friend DJ Vic Money. Underground Quality branched out to become a record label in 2005. UQ has released nearly 20 records in three years, in the process becoming one of the hottest house music labels in the planet. After years of experience hosting and guesting on various radio programs, Ed has settled down at The Underground Quality Radio Show on myhouse-yourhouse.net. The program currently holds a cult like status with some of the most famous house music producers and record fiends alike, who tune in each an every Wednesday to sample some of the quality house music that Jus-Ed has become known and loved for the world over. In the past few years, Jus-Ed has appeared at many huge clubs in Europe, including Berghain/Panorama Bar in Berlin, Fabric in London, and Rex Club in Paris. Ed is the last person in the world to let any of his success go to his head. He is one of the most down to Earth dudes we’ve ever met, a family man who runs his own landscaping business in Connecticut to put food on the table. Ed was fantastic when he played at the first House-N-Home loft party, and again when he played a five hour set at The Bunker in December.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Anthony Parasole has had a lifelong love affair with electronic music. Listening to radio shows playing the early dance tracks from New York, Chicago, and Detroit that really perked up his ears. His earliest experiences at the New York clubs and Storm Raves really blew his mind wide open. Not content to just be another party kid, Anthony began scouring the record stores for all of his favorite tracks. From the late-80’s to the mid- 90’s, Parasole was also huge into hip-hop. His engulfment in this gritty New York street-music is an influence on his style to this day. From 2003 to 2007, Anthony was a buyer at the Halcyon record store. Through Halcyon, a real pillar of the scene in NYC, Parasole made many contacts, and of course, multiplied the size of his record collection by carefully selecting all the best records from the store. He threw the “New Jack City” party at APT with his co-workers at Halcyon, bringing in The Martinez Brothers for the first NYC gig, Slam Mode, MkL, Adultnapper, Nick Chacona, Todd Sines, Brennan Green, and many more. This party really increased Anthony’s exposure in New York, and led to many gigs at bigger clubs, including opening slots for Derrick May, Cajmere, and Layo and Bushwacka. 2008 was a great year for Anthony. He launched the Deconstruct record label with his partner Levon Vincent. DEC-001 “Invisible Bitchslap” by Levon Vincent sold out in one week, and immediately put the label on the map, being charted by Marcel Dettmann, Shed, and Jan Krueger. Hardwax and other influential stores are clamoring for more! Parasole also founded the House-N-Home loft-party series with partner Bryan Kasenic. They’ve already thrown successful parties with Jus-Ed, Brothers’ Vibe, DJ Qu, Fred P, and Adultnapper, and will play host to Move D and other artists from the cutting edge of house and techno music in 2009. Anthony is currently working on a remix as well as his own original production due to come out later this year!

A notoriously mild mannered fellow, Fred P. has been making his noise felt where it counts. His Soul People label’s vinyl releases are coveted across the underground house world, as are his Black Jazz Consortium productions and his sporadic appearances on equally sought after imprints like Jus Ed’s Underground Quality. With the limited CD-only issue of “Structure,” Fred collects nuggets from every facet of his vinyl-based career thus far, providing digital house heads with a sonic chronicling of his personal journey through and beyond deep minimalism. To celebrate the release, Fred is bringing the whole extended crew down for an afternoon of 
beautiful raw house music in Dumbo.
DJ, Artist, and Remixer extraordinaire Fred P is the mind behind Black Jazz Consortium and the owner of Soul People Music. Recording for a wide range of labels, most notably DJ Jus-Ed’s Underground Quality, Fred P has gained a following of true deep house lovers all over the world. Staying true to his sound and vibe makes him a unique contributor to this genre. Fred is a mysterious man of few words, choosing to let the deep personal vibe of his music speak for him. With such a prolific output of amazing music, it’s clear that Fred has a lot to tell us, and you’ll be hearing a lot more in years to come.

New Horizon!!!
Black Jazz Consortium New Horizon E.P.
Fred Peterkin is back with another meticulously crafted release from his own exclusive Soul People Music label. “New Horizon” features 4 tracks of imperative atmospheric verve & visionary rigor, developing from the most basic elements of instrumental production & expanding from this essential core a definitely unique take on the “deep minimal” aesthetic. Grasping the necessity of combining an acutely aggressive approach with the typically underdeveloped though potentially explosive style, Peterkin has realized this lost promise of deep minimalism, exploiting his signature all-encompassing warmth of chords & intricately programmed percussive funk to create his most impressive outing to date. While all the tracks serve a vital overarching totality that lends further clout to “New Horizons” as a complete E.P. in the most true sense of the term, “Watching You Vogue” undoubtedly stands out as it’s most impressive element, an utterly entrancing musical self-reiteration, a true exercise in repetitive variation, concentrating on an undeniably funky minimal groove, building, expanding and eventually liberating it from it’s own self-constraint by allowing it to progress to it’s own upward-trajectory, building upon it’s own foundation with the solid experimentation of Peterkin’s wonderful solo key work---far from orthodox, the keys begin to meld into & eventually succumb to the overarching abyss of “Watching You Vogue”’s moody, unstable chords, succumbing to it’s obvious power as a groove to be reckoned with. It’s records like this that keep our fickle dance of faith in dance music live & well, renewing our creative imaginations & reminding us of the actually endless expanses of creative possibility that need only be wrestled from the abstract & made real through one simple act of creative execution.
Review By Dopejams BK
R.A. Says: Fred P's preferred style of house sounds like it was stuck under a heat lamp, left to decay for a few months and then rediscovered and sent straight to the mastering plant. And like his spiritual lo-fi brothers in the indie rock world, it's music that feels somehow much more present, even as it threatens to drift away into the ether. "New Horizon," for instance, unveils a beat that builds itself right before your eyes—despite sounding like it's being played over a phone—while organs wrap themselves around each other, playing second fiddle to a piano that grabs the foreground. It's simple stuff—no production tricks here—but its simplicity is the point. P's music thrives on mood—the sad, desolate trumpet on "Steps Beyond," the mooning synth on "Watching You Vogue." New Horizon is as much for meditation as it is for dancing.As for the pick of the litter here, it's hard to say. P often DJs in New York with Underground Quality head Jus-Ed, and it's a style of playing that informs how you might listen to their records as well: Quietly, straight through and with your mind ready to receive what they have to give.
