Neue Grafik (known to friends as Fred) has successfully transplanted from Parisian rookie to one-man London Institution. Beginning as a solo producer and DJ, Fred spread his wings upon relocating to South London -- at first with his Neue Grafik Ensemble and later with his now iconic twice-weekly Orii Jam -- the latter of which has given agency to an entire new generation of musicians; spawning an aesthetic, nurturing a unique sound and becoming a launchpad for countless artists. Dalston Tape Vol. 1 is Fred's attempt to fall back in love with beatmaking -- taking it back to the roots of where the project began. Since his early MPC-led productions on Parisian label, Beat X Changers, Fred has learnt to play the keys to a concert hall standard, he has become proficient in double bass and built up a dense network of collaborators who he has composed, recorded, engineered and produced for both at home in SE London and in the iconic Total Refreshment Centre Studios in Dalston. This experience adds unavoidable dimensions to his toolbox -- resulting in something more akin to a miniature-magnum-opus than a simple beat-tape. Yes, there are the influences of Pete Rock, Mad Lib, J Dilla, and Al Dobson Jr, but there is also the musicality of D'Aneglo, James Blake, and live contributions from an ever-growing army of young graduates of the Orii School. Featuring Brother Portrait, Max Mckenzie, and Selina Jones.
