Also, on the original eight minutes were “Hustle” and “Bookie.” Having said that, we have hours and hours of jamming that eventually we might want to revisit, but I truly believe that what we picked was the very best of all. I guess the original version of this track would be the most interesting out-take of the album. But the original had the drums and bass on one single track, so I couldn’t edit around it. We re-did drums on “The Chief and I” and re-tracked both drums and bass on “Man with The Golden Tooth” because Jay wanted to re-track his part. Pablo: Yes, the initial eight minutes are also the biggest ones in terms of orchestration. Are the initial “EP’s-worth,” or eight minutes-worth, of music first recorded during The Du-Rites earliest conception included within this album? How many versions, tweaks, and re-edits have they gone through since then? Like I said, that era of music and everything about it is ingrained in my daily life. It literally just popped in my head with no effort. I was thinking how in the 60's all those Soul bands had names like The : The Bar-Kays, The Mar-Keys, The Shangri-Las, etc. J-Zone: It was the only name! No rejected names. How did you happen upon the band name “The Du-Rites” and what exactly is it intended to convey or signify? What were some of the rejected band names? How might you attempt to best describe The Du-Rites sound to fans new to your music or even Funk as a whole in particular, your “ever written a love letter on a chicken grease-stained napkin” metaphor for the band’s sound? We would get together sporadically on dates like Passover, Christmas, or during bizarre weather events, like blizzards or heat waves. Last year, we decided that it would be a good idea to make an album but it started very informally as two people jamming on holidays just to get by, while people were with their families (I had none here) or shopping. We got together a few years ago to jam and we would come up with ideas that I would later finish at home and send back to Jay. I know that Pablo’s mastered nearly every J-Zone record since A BOTTLE OF WHUP A** THE EP (2000), but how did you two initially come to form The Du-Rites? "Ever order a kale salad and discover a neckbone in it? That's Funk! Ever write a love letter on a chicken grease-stained napkin? That's Funk!" The Du-Rites LP is currently available digitally, with politically-charged bonus track "Moving to The Moon," on either J-Zone's personal or The Du-Rites Bandcamp profiles or on sunset orange wax from Old Maid Entertainment/Ilegalia Records in conjunction with Redefinition Records. Groovin’ so hard, they’ll knock the boogie man on his a**,” writes Neighborhood Wino & Music Connoisseur Pimpin' Polyester Pete on the LP's reverse sleeve. Rollin' with Soul like a 1979 Cadillac when you step on the gas. They’ll out-Funk you so bad, you’ll give up the Funk and start making ballads. The Du-Rites are here to pour some fried fish grease on your kale salad. Now, following two Funk-tastic singles, "Bug Juice" and "Hustle," and a slight mishap turned instant collector's item 7-inch vinyl pressing, J-Zone & Pablo Martin have unleashed their self-produced and conceived debut as The Du-Rites, The Du-Rites LP "Can you dig it? If so, get a plate of neckbones, beans, and rice and put on your Old Spice. It was initially inspired by restlessness and a desire to "Funk out,'" Jay "J-Zone" Mumford replied during our previous August 2016 interview, when asked how he came to form a band with his long-time mastering engineer, friend, and Tom Tom Club (Talking Heads off-shoot) guitarist, Pablo Martin. That became The Du-Rites and it’s ironic that it’s coming out before all the other projects and is actually getting really good feedback. The PABLO band is more like Rock, so Pablo and I decided to make a pure Funk project on our own. I eventually became the drummer in that band, but for a moment, the rest of the band was busy with stuff and both Pablo and I had other side projects that were kind of dragging.

They were patient with me as I learned my instrument and how to play with other musicians, instead of just jamming in my basement. When I first started playing drums, Pablo called me to sit in with his band, PABLO, because the drummer wasn’t showing up. I just never had the resources or the right mind and skill sets til now. "Just some nasty instrumental Funk! It’s a niche market, but that’s always been where my heart is.
