Coburg's young guns storm through dark instrumental jazzfunk, sweet modern soul heaters, thumping roots reggae steppers and beyond with their first mix for Crown Ruler.

Crown Ruler Mix # 11 - College Of Knowledge

It's a pleasure to share the first mix contribution of this new decade which comes from the heart of California's apostle of funk, Garrett. Interview (excerpt) down below. 

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Garrett, such a pleasure to have you on board. For the readers who've never been to Pasadena before, could you describe how it is growing up and living there as an artist?

G: It’s a suburb just north of The City of Los Angeles. A few miles from Dodgers Stadium. Home of the Rose Bowl & the Rose Parade. Living there was nice, for the most part. Slower than Los Angeles, yet..still in the same county. All backgrounds live there & also co-existed with each other in the schools & etc. The schools used to have music programs. The neighborhoods had parks. Still do. Yet, the park in my neighborhood was called Jackie Robinson Park. A lot of stories from the era I grew up in around this park, neighborhood & particular side of Pasadena aka: Northwest Pasadena. Too much for your readers, now, in this interview. 

MFM: Is it different now from back when you grew up there?

G: It’s different. My neighborhood used to be mostly Black. Last time I went back, it was mostly Latino. Downtown has now been gentrified. Small Mom & Pop stores have been replaced with big brand stores & eateries. Etc. Yet, all things change. Nothing ever stays the same.

MFM: Could you tell a bit about how you got to play instruments and where your exceptional knowledge of anything funky comes from?

G: Just taught my self keyboards & drums. No one taught me anything. It was natural. Just dived in. As for Funk; it was all over the place growing up; on the radio, my parents records, my neighbors windows, the cars driving by, boom boxes after school, etc. Hip-Hop was part of my youth as well. Just came later. Yet, I was also into other styles by artists such as RUSH, Gary Numan, KISS, Iron Maiden, Soft Cell, The Human League, early 80’s King Crimson like “Elephant Talk” & more. That was how we got down in Pasadena. We weren’t one dimensional as far a music styles. 

MFM: Apart from funk-related music, is there any other kind of music you're into, or maybe even get your inspiration from?

G: I like Detroit Techno a lot. Early Chicago House (particularly Larry Heard’s endeavors & related), Prog. Library music, Ambient, some Metal, & some Pop, such as artists like Prefab Sprout & The Blue Nile.

MFM: On your LP's synths seem to do the talking whereas lots of your other material include vocals too. Is there a specific reason for that both Garrett albums came out fully instrumental?

G: It’s a glimpse into my private life. I’m an only child. Didn’t really need to speak much. So, that mind-state flows all over both releases, in that manner.  

MFM: You're a producer and musician foremost. At what point did DJing start to play a pivotal role in your life/career?

G: Around 2006 when I started DJ’ing (weekly) at a party called Funkmosphere in Culver City, California at a small bar called Carbon. The rest is history. 

MFM: How important is DJing and touring to you? You seem to be rather selective when choosing shows, correct?

Garrett: All of my creative endeavors are important to me. I really don’t take any of them for granted. I’m not that selective. I think if anything is related to that; it may be that I just don’t wanna play myself out everywhere, every month! I’d like it to remain special when I come around, worldwide (humbly speaking).

MFM: If there's anything more you'd like to share maybe?

G: Thank you to all the listeners for your continued interest & support of my creative endeavors out here in the world. I sincerely appreciate it. I’ve matured over the years & thank you all for maturing with me. Peace to the entire MFM staff & everyone paying attention + listening.

Waxist has just released the second volume of “Message In Our Music” on SOL Discos earlier this year, an album which focuses on independent modern soul, and which brings back to light eight extremely rare songs from the mid-70’s to the mid-80’s.

An absolute pleasure to get this lovely mix from our friend from across the ocean. We had the pleasure of playing with the Portuguese, London-based DJ, record collector and radio show host last summer at our Dimensions boat party and since then have been wishing and praying for a mix!

In her always eclectic-minded sets Mafalda can play anything from forgotten soulful gems to more modern hip-hop, electronic, R&B jams but the influence from Sunny coast of Portugal is never too far!

This mix, focused on Brasilian gems, is perfect for the beach or the park.

@mafaldafromthesun: "This mix is an ode to the sea. I wanted to have done this mix a few months ago, as you know, and the urgency just kept growing, as I'm not sure when I will see it again! It's an ode to the sea - the Atlantic Ocean and all the people I love across it."

"This mix is a glimpse behind the curtain, an assortment of tracks that have been inspiring me lately. From moody European downtempo to groove oriented garage house, this collection is a bittersweet love letter to our collective lockdown and a glimmer of hope for the return to nightlife."
