In the 1970's I was part of Jah Shaka's crew, travelling the country and playing seven nights a week. in '78 I took my musical and technical expertise back to Wolverhampton and built up a sound called Jah Marcus that played successfully across the north and the Midlands. At the turn of the eighties he switched to production and opened The Fari Studio."The first productions I gave to Shaka, a few years down the line I got a phone call from a bredrin named Zeb asking me if it would be OK to give Aba-Shanti a few of my tunes. I was just sitting in my studio building tracks in Wolverhampton, so I said it was alright"Some of these have become cherished dub-plates that have been played on Aba's sound for years. However an unrelated music business venture lead to the demise of the Fari set-up."In '94 I got disillusioned and took time out, sold my studio, moved down to Brixton and lived the normal nine to five life. I bought records on the weekend, that's all I did for six years until I ran into Zeb again on Brixton High Street. He said "Muffet I've got a bredrin who wants to meet you." He came down to my yard the next Saturday and brought Aba. Aba had been playing my music for seven years at that point, but this was the first time he had seen me face to face. Aba said "no Muffet, you have to have to get back into dis ting." He twisted my arm, invited me to his studio in East London and I went up there and met Blood, his brother. I sat in Aba's studio, built three tracks and after six years I realised I'd lost nothing. I came back to my yard and decided to build Roots Injection Studio."The Roots Injection Studio has been responsible for some of the hottest dub plates heard in UK roots dances over several years. InI have been checking out the biggest sounds and supplying them with exclusive tracks."Sounds play different vibes, so certain tunes I gave to Aba, certain tunes I gave to Shaka. Iration Steppas liked a more digi-dub style so I built a selection like that. Everyone had a different selection, this is what's brought me back out. I'm producing tunes that the sounds are playing, it's in my interest to be everywhere, providing I've got the strength to get there."Roots Injection record label released 'Dem History' by Lexxy, which quickly sold out and the re-press also sold out. In the meantime, Muffet has been part of the building of a new sound system, The Mighty Tabot, with Ras Kinfe and Ras Gabre."Tabot is coming to promote Roots Injection and new artists. We are not ones for chasing down well known artists, we are dealing with youths and up and coming artists of today. Tabot will also be promoting female artists, and although a new sound, we've got the advantage of years of sound system experience. The response that other sounds get when they play Roots Injection material makes us realise Tabot is going to be a force to be reckoned with."
