S4 EP3 - Tone B Nimble

World On A Wire With Shir Khan - 26th March 2022

Notoya is the brains behind Tokyo Condition, a record label and online web shop operating from within Tokyo. In the last few years, Notoya has reissued private press records and focuses on lesser known artists from the past and modern day. He recently collaborated with french label We Want Sounds, to create a compilation highlighting artists from record label Nippon Columbia, the wonderful project - Tokyo Glow. On the show we welcome back Ryan Erik Williams, who joins Aswad in conversation with Notoya to discuss the inspirations of Tokyo Condition and the current impact of City Pop within modern day. They also highlight some of the releases from Tokyo Condition and discuss the partnership with HMV Japan.

This month on Studio Funk we welcome curator, DJ, the man of leisure — Miche. Over the past years Miche has been contributing heavily to the funk and soul scene in the U.K. From being a leading music programmer of London’s number 1 listening bar Spiritland, through to working and collaborating with various artists, musicians and DJs he is now entering his next chapter — releasing his new compilation on world renown record label, Mr Bongo; With Love Vol.1. Here on Studio Funk we get an exclusive preview and insight behind the highly anticipated project.

S4 EP10 - Miche

Breaking the record for having the longest running time of recording an interview — 3.5 hours! Two of Aswad's favourite people, Hair Kid and Q.I who are behind the amazing modern funk duo from Japan — Milk Talk. Their first ever interview which goes over and beyond! Over the last few years, Milk Talk have been consistently releasing incredible modern funk, synth / city pop music. On the show they go to great lengths to discuss about their chemistry and collaboration. We go behind the scenes to discuss how their records are put together, and talk about their recent tour in Tokyo. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, as there is plenty more uncovered. And knowing how much we recorded, let’s just say this is part 1 of their feature 😊

S4 EP11 - Milk Talk

Milk Talk and Aswad have discussions about sampling and how Japanese City Pop within the 80s may have been inspired by western music around that time. On the show they go through several rounds of trying to guess which music tracks influenced some of the great City Pop tracks from the 80s (which might be kind way of saying that 😅)

How good is your music knowledge? Can you guess all of the samples?

S4 EP12 - Guess The Sample ft. Milk Talk // City Pop Edition

Last show of the year and it’s a special one. Aswad sits down and catches up with Earl McKenzie and Clive Gardiner about their latest release on CQQL Records — Timestamp. The definitive edition and collection of their cherished and beloved music recorded from the early 80s. Remastered and reissued with love is how we describe it. As tradition dictates, the last show is a recap highlighting music of the year. Expect a good dose of new releases alongside favourites from the year.

S4 EP13 - Timestamp ft. McKenzie & Gardiner

Carl Moore, is what we call a true definition of a working musician. A person who’s continuing to have an expansive career spanning over 4 decades. From the late 70s being part of funk group ‘Split Decision Band’ through to the early 80s and working in Japan. Aswad and Carl discuss the makings of his elusive limited EP ‘Chance’ released in 1984, and celebrating the music 40 years later as see the reissue of ‘Carter Lake’ and It ‘Must Be The Beat’ via Sam Don's new record label adventure — Sweet Free Association.

A special collaboration between Studio Funk and Prime Time Records & Tapes, an episode featuring multi talented musician, songwriter and performer from Rochester New York, who is also one of the founding members of the Jazz Funk collective, Cabo Frio — Curtis Kendrick! 

Curtis and Aswad discuss the beginnings of Cabo Frio during the late 70s and the groups progression throughout the 80s. The numerous albums, collaborations and opportunities along the way. Together they also discuss about the elusive 1982 side project album — 3rd Degree. An album which is referred to as a holy grail amongst many collectors. The rare album which was only released on cassette is now currently being worked on for a full remaster from the original session tapes by Prime Time Records — who also recently released the single ‘Heartbeat’ from the forthcoming album.

Curtis L. Kendrick

A man who probably needs no introduction as he’s been consistently delivering great music for the past 10 years plus. Musician, producer, songwriter are a few labels attached to his calibre and status. He is also one of the leading voices and sounds within the Modern Funk scene whilst also at the helm of the beloved Mofunk records , Pasadena’s finest — XL Middleton

Together we discuss the early days of his G-Funk era through to modern day of his highly anticipated sequel album, Tap Water II. We also get into the detail about his collaborations with Zackey Force Funk and their most recent album, Blue Blade Piranha. Plus we go behind the scenes on some of the great remixes he’s done over the years, including the latest with Japanese City Pop artist, Hannah Warm …plus a whole lot more!

After a long time hesitating whether to post or not this mix... it's with a big yes that I'm doing it !!! Was it serious to play completely faded? Yes it was !!! I can't stop smiling while listening to it, even with its mistakes. It was also fun to have Johan around during the mix, preparing his set and interfering with mine, bringing his special effects all along ;)

Hope you'll enjoy it as well !!!

Muan
Camilo Alvarez "Muan" nació en la Ciudad de México y pero vive en el Caribe mexicano desde que tiene 1 año de edad. Estudió Ingeniería de Audio y Artes de Grabación en SAE London. También trabaja como A & R para Akbal Music.

En su adolescencia tenía un gusto musical muy amplio, pero en su mayoría escuchaba Hip Hop de los años 90. El Caribe de México no era un portal de música electrónica en el momento en que se abrió un pequeño club en Playa del Carmen llamado "Espiral", donde tuvo su primer encuentro con la música house. A los dieciséis años tuvo en sus manos su primer par de tornamesas y comenzó a ordenar discos del extranjero. No mucho después de que se interesó en la producción musical y comenzó a buscar educación en esto, para luego mudarse a Londres durante 6 años, de donde obtuvo la mayor parte de sus influencias musicales.

Hoy reside en Playa del Carmen, donde tiene un proyecto con su compañero Robbie Akbal en el que han lanzado sellos discográficos como Supernature, No. 19 Music, Get Physical Music y su propia Akbal Music. Tocando para muchos clubes y festivales en todo el mundo, ha sido residente uno de los clubes más emblemáticos de México  y reconocido mundialmente: "La Santanera".
