Reminiscing on the label I found this great interview with the founder of Mo'Wax, James Lavelle. It's been a while since he was in the spotlight but it so refreshing to again hear his non-genre approach to music and art. The story of how he built his network of artists and founded the label is nothing but inspiring. It was based on the different elements he loved: music, art and great live performances.
Check out the two part interview from the AllSaints Spitalfields basement sessions below. We're pretty sure you'll enjoy it.
