OMG can you tell me what the Broken Wings remix is? Need this in my life

Could i please grab this track ! Bopping ! 

"We hadn’t really seen each other in a while so we got together and caught up over some of the music that’s stuck with us through the thick and the thin over the years. A bunch of boogie, lots of last songs, some sloppy mixing and a plenty of Vera. Classic PSS!" - @pender-street-steppers

Next up in the series and hailing from Montreal is phubu (@phubu), who's also known from her many interesting works as RAMZi. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Phoebé, great to have you on board. You're from Canada, what has been keeping you busy there lately? 

P: Lately i've been reconnecting with family, old friends, and myself. I went back to university where, after trial and error, I'm now enrolled in 'fibres & new material practices' and this program in sustainability, which combined, should respond better to my visions and ambitions. I try to be outdoor as much as possible, 're-materializing my life' after too much computer time last winter (university on Zoom). Recently I started to work at this community based garden and just started my dream job working in a myco-lab where they grow mushrooms for their medicinal properties, among other projects. Also I just got back into composing music after 1 year break. I found a synth in this thrift store that is finally giving me some inspiration.

MFM: People might be more acquainted with your other project as RAMZi. What is the reason for you to use your phubu alias for this occasion? 

P: RAMZi is a wild spirit and also refers to a parallel autonomous world that keeps evolving. It's never been about me, I always see that entity is bigger than myself. Its why I've been reticent to promote the music with pictures of me. The music remains as doorways to that world. Phubu is an alias I use sometimes for dj mixes, it was one of my names in high school and always liked it.

MFM: Your music is very versatile in sound and sonics, it rarely ever sounds the same. Where does that come from, can you share a bit about what inspires and influences you? 

P: That's nice to hear cause often I feel I used some of the same sounds over and over. Its also what made my sound signature I guess. My main influences are from growing up in the 90s between Montreal and the countryside in this very free-spirit, progressive, intercultural, artistic environment. I grew up with my dad listening to music from all over the world, much jazz and experimental music and we use to go to music festivals during summer. He exposed me to cultures that create musical fusion of genres. That gave me this strong impression that music has no borders, it can transport you in some far off state of mind without bringing you to a specific geographic place.

MFM: So do you listen to other music a lot then? 

P: Yes I do, I listen to NTS and Youtube quite a lot. I often need music to soothe myself. I like to be transported in another world, I seek music that elevate me spiritually.

MFM: Do you have a specific go-to approach or workflow when composing? 

P: It's quite a go with the flow, intuitive approach. Now that i'm more stable and have the space, I want to work with musician friends in my studio for my next album. Being busy with other projects, anything else than music, always helps me to feel more inspired when I get back to composition. Music can't be the center of my life, and I never wanted it to be, but it became difficult to keep a distance from it when I started to go on tour. 

MFM: Thanks a lot for your contribution. Initially you said you had been struggling to finish another mix. Do you find it a challenging task? 

P: Every time it’s like a puzzle. I always have tracks of different genres for which I need to find a way to make it all fit together as a narrative, a journey. For me it only works by playing around in Ableton Live, let intuition, luck, my environment and personal events enter in the equation. I always like to make my mixes in Ableton – it has a sound collage approach to it where I can slice and edit, add layers of voices, play around with the tempo and pitch. I tried to use CDJs this time but that didn't inspire me much so went back to Ableton. Hopefully there’s a flow somehow :)

Crown Ruler Mix #25 - Ben Fester B2B Cousin.

We’ve got another mix for you snatched from the wild - this time from iconic brothers @ben-fester and @secondcousins. Recorded at our open-air party co-presented with @planettrip earlier this year, the siblings warmed up for maestro @floatingpoints in the breeze of twilight, where they proved themselves as well-seasoned DJ’s no longer necessitating introduction. 

Sink into this mix of trippy downtempo, percussive electro and cherished vocal house from two masters of their craft. 

Illustration by Ben Keynes.

This mix was recorded on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge their Elders past and present, and recognise efforts in the ongoing resistance against colonialism. Always Was, Always Will Be.

One from the archives that got lost in time - A mix Graham and I scratched heads together on of some tunes we were really feeling at the time and sharing with each other on a daily basis.

Graham's a man I take endless inspiration from on the daily for his incredibly well rounded taste in records and his nack at picking out gems from the rough. 

On a Jazz, Soul, Funk and whatever else you'd call it tip. Relax and sink into this 2 hour b2b recorded in my sitting room,, enjoy!
