Pako & Frederik have just started a new label called Sitrep. The first release is by the boys using their family names: Raisani & Borgesius – ‘Storm Karkand’ / ‘Complete Nansensu’ (SIT001) Sitrep.

Pako & Frederik have been part of the Dutch dance scene for over 10 years, gaining worldwide recognition for their productions, dj’ing and live sets.

Pako & Frederik have achieved a lot since they met in Arnhem/Holland in 1992. Their first collaboration was in 1993 when Pako & Frederik produced a track called ‘Vauvenage’ with DJ Remy in a studio in the South of France. From this moment on Pako and Frederik joined forces to produce numerous club-hits such as: ‘The Magic Shop’ and ‘Seaside Atmosphere’. Their music has been used in computer games, movies (Stark Raving Mad) and TV series (CSI Miami).

In 1996 Pako & Frederik started their own label Majestic Music. Their early releases led to immediate worldwide recognition, leading to numerous requests for their remix work, with their credits appearing on labels such as Nervous, Bedrock, DMC, Wally’s Groove World, Statra, Acetate, Dorigen and more.

They really got noticed when John Digweed included their track ‘Blue Steel’ on his Global Underground Hong Kong album, and subsequently also signed a couple of twelve inches by the boys for his Bedrock label.

For this reason they were chosen to launch Global Underground’s music imprint GU Music, which is the artists based label for singles and albums. Their first album was entitled ‘Atlantic Breakers’. Global Underground head honcho Andy Horsefield describes the duo as ‘a forward thinking fusion of trance and breakbeats and squelchy bits’.

Their tracks have featured on compilations mixed by: Sasha & Digweed, Carl Cox, Anthony Pappa, Jerry Bonham, Derrick Carter, Remy and Slam to name a few. They also released their own mix CD called “World in Progress 002”, which featured house, breakbeat- and progressive-tracks. Since 1995 Pako & Frederik have performed live at international festivals like I Love Techno in Belgium, Dancevalley (mainstage in 2004) in Holland and at numerous clubs worldwide .As well as live gigs, Frederik has spent the last 14 years dj’ing all over the world, with gigs ranging from Ukraine to Japan. In the 90s Frederik also had a residency at the highly acclaimed club Fuse (Brussels, Belgium) for 5 years.

At the moment Pako & Frederik are busy working on their second album for Global Underground, and on several twelve inches.

Further they just started a new label called Sitrep. The first release is by the boys using their family names:
