Ever since he was a little boy Fred had taken a great interest in music. At the early age of six already he only wanted vinyl records for his birthday or christmas. Amongst the first records were those of Bill Haley and Elivis Presley. During his teens Fred started dj-ing at small birthday parties. Those were the days of the late 80-ies, Michael Jackson had just landed a big seller/hit with BAD and Madonna starred in her second movie "Who's that girl”.This particular music style was ok and well accepted but Fred felt that music wise something had to change. He had interest in all the classical 4/4 "takt". More and more Acid- & Piano-House existed and were apparent during his gigs.

From 1992-1994 Fred was, at that time still known as DJ Syndroma, Resident DJ at the Heaven Underground Club Basel (later known as Paradox). In the following years Fred could be heard at various different clubs and events in Switzerland. Amongst them the Lake Parade in Geneva, at the Street Parade, Nautilus and at the Industry Club (Perosa Areal, Lucerne). In April 2000 he founded together with his friend Carlos the Kinky House Productions. Since then every last Friday of the month the unforgettable Kinky House Nites @ Babalabar in Basel take place.

It didn't take long fort he news about the very special and extremely hip Kinky House parties to spread across Basel and the rest of Switzerlanden. Kinky House Parties spread in Basel first and then in the rest of switzerland.
The KINKY HOUSE organisation and it's events became trendsetters in Basel's party scene. The special sound, the friendly atmosphere und the very special decoration were and are the trademark of Kinky House Productions. The constantly increasing number of party people is the best proof of success.

Since mid 2000 Fred has regular bookings at many events and various different clubs.
To name just a few, Lausanne ( Club D!, Cult). Biel (Take5, VIP), Luzern (Industry Club, Peck's, Casino), Zürich (Säulenhalle, LWB, Next Club, Groovin' House Café, Carlton, Warehouse, Zoo) etc.
In addition to that Fred was also active abroad: in Lithuania (Club Casablanca/Riga), in Estonia (Club "V"/Tallin), in France (Banana's Club/Belfort, Nil's Club/Strasbourg).

Currently Fred is working on a couple of projects:
Productions under the name of "Face2Face" are ongoing. Three unpublished remixes have been produced.
Kinky House in collaboration with Housesyndicate had a Lovemobil at this year's Streetparade 2003.
Fred's top priority currently is to produce a Kinky House CD.

Who knows what all Fred Licci and his Kinky-Crew have in store for the future . One thing is for sure though: Kinky surprises and outrageous parties won't be missed in the future.

Keep on groovin'!
