MFM: Hey Gary. How's life in Toronto today? Did you manage to do some more gardening? :)

IC: We have a really nice garden in front of the shop and also at home in my backyard, both get some nice sun and shade and are where I spend all my time. So yes, gardening everyday ;)

MFM: (Before the pandemic hit) You've seen quite a few bits of the world by now while touring. How would you describe Toronto as a city if you had to promote it to the readers who haven't been there yet? 

IC: It’s summer here now in Toronto and we’re in the middle of a heatwave. We’re lucky to have an island with nice beaches as a nearby getaway via ferry. Toronto is a very large sprawling city compared to most European cities. Our multiculturalism definitely sets us apart. We have heaps of reggae and island music here along with lots of record shops, and the variety of food here can’t really be beat. I miss giving guided Invisible City tours of the city to any traveling DJs passing through.

MFM: Would you say it's a good place for an artist to be, whether being a young upcoming talent or professional and all in between?  

IC: Sure you can make it here if you’re skilled/talented and not overbearing, the problem is that there isn’t that many music venues to play. Between the crazy expensive visa you need to play the USA and the costs of flights to Europe, we are kind of isolated musically. Rent is crazy expensive here and most artists have another job, but I’m not sure if Toronto makes it specifically harder or easier compared to other cities. 

MFM: People may know you as the driving force behind Invisible City, the record store and label. How much time do you spend with the one compared to the other? 

IC: I would say pre-Covid more focus was on the shop and getting that to a sustainable level and stocking the store. We didn’t even have a sign for years until recently. During Covid, when the shop was closed for about a year and a half, a lot of focus was on development and signing artists paying advances and getting back into production. I learned alot about Music Publishing too… Laura helps me a lot with organizing everything, label and shop, I would be lost without her.

MFM: Looking back on running a record store and label for over 10 years now, what would you say are some key changes that took place over time?

Back then there were not that many reissue labels and it wasn’t as competitive or extensive, now everyone has a reissue label. I only wanted to put out records that I was strongly connected to or somehow found on a whim. If someone showed me a record, I would ask them if they were planning on reissuing it, now people just go ahead. It’s crazy how many reissues there are so it’s challenging now as a label to dig even deeper. The record shop also was really niche and specialized in the past and now there’s just more in each genre. It’s still pretty curated, but I am finding that I didn’t know a lot of good common records, so we like having “high end cheapos”. I like that most people can just come off the street and buy records now, although we still have some niche stuff too. It feels overall more balanced and varied and for the people.

MFM: The label seems to run at a nice and slow pace. Is it on purpose to not have a heavy and steady output? 

IC: I like to only do a couple records a year, it’s only me and Laura who do it all and it takes me ages to figure out artwork, I’m very picky. The shop, DJing, and occasionally throwing parties also takes up a lot of our time. We always have a lot on the go. I also like to focus on one or two artists at a time, but also it costs a lot of money to make a record! Now things are totally slowed down and our plant says I can’t get pressings out till next March!

"This mixtape emerges from one of my solitary evening sessions, in the tranquil half-light of my room. It takes a brief psychedelic journey through the ghosts that inhabit me. Crafting the soundtrack for the frames of the most intense night I experienced last year, elements intertwine in dance, then collide, before ultimately dissolving. Yet, something remains. Have your trip."

我还有太多心愿
太多梦没有实现
桌上还留着过去的照片
桌上摆着放凉的晚餐
我没有想过有天如此孤单
靠坐在沙发边上
看窗外的雨滴
手机没有一条消息晚安
思念是一种病
让我慢慢沉沦变得消极
曾经你是我的动力
你不在了每天我都触景伤情
你不知道一个人的夜多难熬
想念让我心在滴血
被融化后又凝结成冰雪
药只有照片和音乐
如果下个时空再遇见
我们一定要牵起手
只要那一刻就当是永久
同淋雪也就共了白头
此刻在我脑海爆发
眼泪的海失控了崩塌
现实和梦境总是有落差
还是没能触摸到你长发
也许差一笔
就算圆满
人生充满了不确定
让我再爱一点
就爱一点
就能最后拥抱你
我一个人的失眠一个人的空间
一个人的想念两个人的画面
是谁的眼泪是谁的憔悴
洒满地的心碎
我一个人的冒险一个人的座位
一个人想着一个人
眼角的泪这不是错觉
有太多话想说
给你听却陷入漩涡
要保持你的纯真
你的微笑
独一无二的酒窝
每次生日我许的愿
其实都与你有关
假装不在意
可掩盖不了内心的喜欢
我还有太多心愿太多梦没有实现
桌上还留着过去的照片
我一个人的失眠一个人的空间
一个人的想念两个人的画面
是谁的眼泪是谁的憔悴
洒满地的心碎
我一个人的冒险一个人的座位
一个人想着一个人
眼角的泪这不是错觉
我一个人孤单
一个人醉
一个人想念
一个人累
一个人把爱恨勾兑
咽下去也许我们就会
只剩下自己对着镜子斗嘴
没有说明书的生活让我怎么学会
可我知道那是值得
所以甘愿忍受掉眼泪
我一个人的冒险一个人的座位
一个人想着一个人
眼角的泪这不是错觉

中国所称的珍宝岛事件50周年之际，中俄两国都对那场边界冲突刻意低调。俄罗斯媒体报道，中国曾游说俄罗斯不要举行纪念活动，怕让两国关系节外生枝。50年前的中苏边界冲突被认为是对两国关系不方便的历史事件。相比之下，由于有利可图，两国都高调举行二战胜利庆祝活动。
