Once again we have been invited to DJ at LoveFest. This year we will be on the GreenHouse Effect Float representing Eden Recordings with our pal and mentor DJ Donald Glaude.
This is so exciting. This gig will end off the summer with a big bang. A big bang to a big year for us. So much is happening. We are deeply grateful for all of the support. Time to rock SF onto it’s side!!!
YES!!!!!

So between 2004 and 2006 a lot of music was made. I (Edwin) from SpekrFreks decided to do a solo project which never officially got off the ground. Mostly because I never shopped it around. It’s mostly Pop-New Wave-Electro stuff with very emotional lyrics and sentiments.
Here is a free download of that stuff … Enjoy!

Our new tracks just got a bid from the record label Pure Funk. The contract looks awesome, but we are still waiting for a response from three other record labels. Very exciting. It looks like 2009 will have a lot of releases for SpekrFreks.
Last night I was talking with the BF about throwing a bear dance called “A-bear-tion” The theme of the party will be red. Red and pink streamers will be hanging from the ceiling along with teddy bears hanging from wire hangers. We are hoping to get sponsored by Planned Parenthood for publicity and hopefully protesters. Wouldn’t that be awesome?
I’m kidding of course.
This weekend was definitely an interesting one. I took off to LA and I had the chance to meet with someone very special to the existence of SpekrFreks. This is someone that I owe a lot of credit to. Someone who helped SpekrFreks in the beginning, someone who was actually an original member of this group. But life had changed the dynamics of our relationship and I cut off all contact with him. It was at this point in my life where I was giving up on music and really thinking about doing something else with the rest of my future. These were tough times, but during this process I met my current bandmate Bryan Phillip who inspired me to continue with the music and who turned out to be an excellent band mate.
However, it was still good to reconnect with my old band mate. With the man that originally believed in me and my music and who helped me with all of the resources he had at the time. He helped SpekrFreks become what we are today. I will always be grateful for that, no matter what had transpired between us in the end of our partnership. I mean c’mon, the man helped me produce “SanFrandisco” for heaven’s sake! And that track is still opening doors for us!
I live for moments like these. Moments where life comes full circle.
Now SpekrFreks are ready to continue on and keep rockin’ that electro shit.
