GARY GRITNESS, the mainman of French modern funk band DOPEGEMS, who has also drawn attention in recent years under his solo name. He's taken part in all sorts of projects — here at the shop his 〈ARCANE〉 release backing Morris Mobley was a big favorite — and he's a talent who moves from house to hip-hop, working with everyone from Orlando Voorn to GUTS. Electronic funk that's RAW yet trance-tinged, sci-fi electro, psychedelic boogie/funk, mad sounds. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
