Last month we presented an evening of one-off musical collaborations in Los Angeles.
Our creative director (and world-renowned DJ) Gilles Peterson worked with Miguel-Atwood Ferguson and his 11-piece orchestra to take us on a journey through LA’s musical heritage.
In this section you will hear the ensemble welcome the Gaslamp Killer, Bilal, Nai Palm and Kamasi Washington.
"It was one of the highlights of my life. It was a major triumph, not just for LA, but for music, for the world." - Miguel Atwood-Ferguson
“It is magical to be able to put on such a unique event. I don’t think this is going to happen again, putting these musicians together. Thanks to the WeTransfer Crew for putting on one of the best events I've ever been a part of…” - Gilles Peterson

"Earlier this week, the inimitable George Clinton sat for not one but two conversations about his work and where it comes from. First, he spoke with the host of NPR Music's R&B channel, Jason King, about soul music, swag and Kendrick Lamar. Then, after the Museum Of The Moving Image screened Clinton's 20-year-old film Cosmic Slop, he took the stage for an interview conducted by songwriter, producer and musician James Mtume. The two industry veterans traded stories about Miles Davis and staying in the game. Clinton's memoir, Brothers Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kind Of Hard On You?, was released earlier this month along with five new songs, and a new Funkadelic album is hard on its heels." - NPR
Dephyant & Emcee Graffiti get inspired by the Funk to deliver a flurry of witty thought-provoking lyricism and wordplay on "George Clinton Aka The Beast". With the type of lyrics to shut down a cypher, Iron Bar Collective bless the mic and bring you rapid-fire delivery in the 90's tradition of entertaining high-powered MCing. Produced by Dood Computer of Pig Food Records.
Drummer Mario Crew gets busy in a musically progressive beat-making approach inspired by the P-Funk. Listen as he gets funky in his own right with a sweet arrangement on "George Clinton Meets Chicken Grease". The mellow chords on keys set a dreamlike vibe as they flow against a funky bass and drum groove to keep your head moving, bringing a new vision to the signature P-Funk sound.
