Blais was brought up in Quebec City, where he gained an interest in synthesis and editing techniques from a young age. He later went on to perform in several live bands and compose music for theatre. His interest in dance music began with the acid house movement, particularly UK label Warp Records' releases.
Career
In the early 90s, he started playing live in raves and clubs in Canada. He was then known as “Everything”, because his live sets could range anywhere from techno to house, ambient and even drum and bass. Fred Everything's career as a DJ began in 1993, when he opened for Sasha at the Metropolis club night in Montreal. After building up a reputation in the US and Canada, he moved to Montreal in 1996, where he released many records under various record labels, including 20:20 Vision, with whom he went on to release a total of 20 records, including his widely successful album "Under the Sun" in 2000.

Fred Everything & Stereo MC's - Soul Love
Last single before the album Love, Care, Kindness & Hope drops next month, Soul Love features none other than the UK’s legendary Stereo MC’s. Known for their hit Connected, they are still active today both in the studio and playing live around the world.
Making an album is a great opportunity to get out of one’s creative comfort zone. This track started off as a dub techno studio experiment but quickly evolved into a song idea with the help of Fred’s collection of vintage keyboards. This one called for a special, once in a lifetime collaboration, so he reached out to Rob Birch of Stereo MC’s. The two had been in touch for a few years already but the timing for a collaboration was never right. Fast forward to a time where live venues and clubs were closed worldwide, which created space fo...

Tortured Soul - You Found A Way (Fred Everything Dub) - Lazy Days
Fred Everything & Tortured Soul met in the summer of 2004 at the Montreal Jazz Festival, after a performance from the band. They hit it off immediately and the band asked him to do a remix for their Remix album. As the project got shelved, we asked If we could put it out on Lazy Days. The original has this instant classic soul vibe that only Tortured Soul can bring. The Remixes brings in a new life to the song, changing the Key and adding an electronic disco vibe to it. Tortured Soul and Fred also collaborated on a song from his "Lost Together" album (Lying To You - Om Records). as Gilles Peterson once said : "You have to see these guys live!". Who are we to argue!

Sio - Native Language (Fred Everything Lazy Soul Mix)
Native Language has been the stand out song from Sio’s debut album ‘sbtxts’ so we decided to call in some heavyweights to reinterpret the original.
First up is Fka Mash who graces us with his unique ‘Glitch Dub’. Next is long standing house aficionado Fred Everything who gives us 2 versions for the floor and finally Sio’s producer Luka and Sio get together to do a brand new version of the original.
Enjoy!

Last single before the album Love, Care, Kindness & Hope drops next month, Soul Love features none other than the UK’s legendary Stereo MC’s. Known for their hit Connected, they are still active today both in the studio and playing live around the world.
Making an album is a great opportunity to get out of one’s creative comfort zone. This track started off as a dub techno studio experiment but quickly evolved into a song idea with the help of Fred’s collection of vintage keyboards. This one called for a special, once in a lifetime collaboration, so he reached out to Rob Birch of Stereo MC’s. The two had been in touch for a few years already but the timing for a collaboration was never right. Fast forward to a time where live venues and clubs were closed worldwide, which created space for projects like this one. The result is a half spoken, half sung commentary on the current state of the world, without losing a sense of Hope.
“Is it too late to set a path straight. Can we make amends or is this how the story ends...”
New versions including remixes from Clive From Accounts will be available in the Spring 2024.
Written & Produced by Frédéric Blais. Vocals written & performed by Rob Birch, courtesy of Stereo MC's.
