For the very first time to appear on a podcast are the 80s Brit Funk legends, McKenzie & Gardiner. Together they discuss to great lengths about their background, friendship and the insight around their cult record 'From Time'. Working with Streetwave Records, and the creation of the sub label ‘The Sound Of London’ and the recordings of the wonderful lost demos which surfaced many years later! Plus an exclusive preview of their up and coming music coming out on CQQL Records & Avant Garde Records. Also on the show, a catch up with Montreal’s favourite Walla P, to discuss the latest with Prime Source. Aswad also plays some new releases which is currently in heavy rotation, and a tribute mix for our guests to wrap up the show in Studio Funk tradition.

S3 EP8 - McKenzie & Gardiner

Exclusive interview with the man from Chicago, Head & Founder of Star Creature Universal Vibrations — Tim Zawada. Aswad and Tim discuss the beginnings of Star Creature, the memories and releases over the years. Including recent projects such as the 2020 compilation; Attack Of The Chicago Boogie. They also talk about recent releases including the new album by M. Hook - New River, and share some insight of what's yet to come! Alongside the interview, Aswad serves a tribute mix for Tim & Star Creature — 45 min set of 45s from the Star Creature imprint, featuring personal favourites & classics from the forever growing discography of 7” records.

S3 EP 9 - Tim Zawada

Last show of the year, and as tradition dictates it’s another episode to look back over the year but this time doing something a little bit different. Aswad sits down with Walla P (Voyage Funktastique/Prime Source), as they host an end of year review. Together they talk and share their favourite records covering LPs, 12", 7" and reissues. As you can expect there was a lot talk about, so expect plenty of music covered from the rich sounds of modern funk through to the classic signature grooves of British Jazz Funk.

Space Junk Vol. 1

First track I have made with my new Teenage Engineering OP-1.  Made with the help of my SP-404SX.

OP-Wan 我肏

Mist of Dreams is the collaboration album between two amazing producers respectively from Slovenia &amp; Italy. Lo-fi and instrumental hip hop fans are in for a treat! If you like the dusty crackling of a vinyl and listening to some fresh beats and inventive cuts and bass lines. You're in the right place. This isn't just another lo-fi beat album though, it brings lots of original ideas. A hazy atmosphere and retro theme as well as very satisfying jazzy and funky theme. 
The album comes with the beautiful original art by graphic novel illustrator Bernad Kolle.
