As Crystal Fake, Fredrik Östling has released music on vinyl on the legendary Force Tracks and Martinez' label Out of Orbit to name but a few and lately several digital labels. In early 2007 he made a bootleg remix of Nelly Furtado’s “All Good Things” which created such a buzz it was later released on vinyl and the remix requests of vocal tunes started dropping in. He also keeps a steady stream of other bootleg remixes.
After moving back to Uppsala, in 2008 Fredrik started running a monthly club called Klubb Rotor (in which he’s a resident DJ) together with long time friend Unai and other Uppsalians. So far the guests include Marco Passarani, Raiders of the Lost ARP, The Rice Twins (Kompakt), Håkan Lidbo, Andreas Tilliander, Vibrasphere & Calle Dernulf (from Swedish national radio “P3 Dans”).
Crystal Fake has since starting Klubb Rotor focused on DJing but is occasionally doing live gigs. As a DJ he plays stuff ranging from dubby techno & minimal to techy house & big floor anthems.
