— Paul 'Mudd'
Murphy for 2-Times
2-Times presents
our latest musical
offering courtesy
of Paul 'Mudd'
Murphy — the
acclaimed founder
of London-based
independent
record label,
Claremont 56.
Counting an
impressive
assortment of
accomplishments,
including
collaborations
with jazz drumming
legend Chico
Hamilton and
krautrock luminary
Holger Czukay –
Murphy's most
recent projects
include his live
work with Paqua,
alongside Bing Ji
Ling & Patrick Wood
from The Phenomenal
Handclap Band, &
Patrick Dawes from
Groove Armada.
Mudd's first mix
for 2-Times features
a distinct selection of
classic & indelible
sounds, with stirring
African accents
and a near perfect
sequential delivery.
He describes
starting the mix
with a selection of
"personal favorites
that have been on
repeat for a while,"
before blending the
sound into a track
that he discovered
on a recent trip to
Japan – deliberately
shifting direction,
and concluding with
a slightly cosmic
& spacey feel.
