Spearheaded by recent NYC transplant and longtime Seattle DJ, musician, and writer Andrew Matson alongside Seattle DJ, musician, and designer HansmJustin, FR FR is a low-expectation, low-maintenance monthly rap party currently going down first Saturdays at Speckled + Drake on Capitol Hill. Known for their top-notch track selection, infectious energy, and communal vibe that brings other local up-and-coming guest DJs along for the ride every month, FR FR has quickly become one of Seattle's freshest DJ nights. FR FR's exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a proper showcase of the sounds and vibes to expect at their party. Matson rolls up to handle the first half of the mix and impressively zig-zags through new, obscure, and under-appreciated rap tracks alongside exclusive cuts and unexpected funk jams. HansJustin provides the mix's roll out soundtrack, spotlighting contemporary woozy trap and rap gems and sneaking in a pair of his own tracks as well. FR FR.
