Good Fruit

There’s music you listen to…
and music that changes the way you feel time. Good Fruit belongs to the second kind. Sprouted in 2020 and rooted in George Clinton’s belief that “good thoughts bring forth good fruit,” Good Fruit is a living experience, both as a deep listening podcast and a physical gathering where sound becomes a shared state of presence. This is not about the club.
It’s about collective stillness, open ears, and expanded minds. Each session, whether recorded or live, blends genres like ripe fruit in a shared basket: 
🍓 tropical lullabies beside smoky jazz
🍉cosmic soul weaving into organic grooves
🥝 rhythms that nourish, ground, and reconnect us to the human pulse This is not background music.
This is inner world music, meant to be felt, savored, remembered. Good Fruit is a podcast, an event, and a movement of deep listening. 
🍑If this resonates, you’re already part of it. Follow the journey and taste the next fruit.

We welcome Eaz to our Good Fruit series, a Paris based selector inviting you into space where time slows down and groove takes over. Drawing from two decades behind the decks, his sets drift effortlessly through jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, dub, ambient, and psychedelic trip-hop, all woven into a warm, immersive downtempo journey. Whether you’re stretched out in a dreamy haze or moving gently on the dance floor, expect deep selections, original productions, and a musical story guided by pure love for sound in all its forms. 🍇🍏🍒 “Sliced fresh fruit, dried fruits, a spoon of honey, half a squeezed lemon, fresh mint. One of the purest ways to start the day in a good mood. Add some peaceful music to the mix, and naturally, a Good Fruits podcast can be born from that combination. Hip-hop and jazz infused, with occasional touches of dub, this blend of beats and melodies is part of my slowtempo vision. I recorded this one shortly after returning from the Good Fruits temple itself, carrying that same calm energy with me throughout the session. I hope all chillers and listeners can enjoy it with the same peaceful feeling.” - Eaz Listen through link in bio. @matthieueaz

Starting off our 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲 series with Méni fka Sundae Sue. “This first mix was recorded at home, in our living room, during the stillness of the first Covid lockdown and broadcasted via Ojoo.tv on March 22, 2020. A moment where time slowed down and music became a way to travel without moving. The idea was simple: a Sunday afternoon, no pressure, no club energy, just exploring sounds across genres and decades, letting the music breathe.” - Méni Looking back now, this is where the seed was planted. 🍊 @meni_ojoo @ojoomusic Design by @juliedevrieze

Meteorological spring has begun. Longer days, softer light, and fresh energy in the air. For this new chapter of Good Fruit, we welcome Moustie, a young Brussels-based selector and part of the Slow Riders collective. Rooted in the city but moving at his own tempo, he builds patiently. This mix feels like the first warm afternoon of the year, gentle, glowing, quietly uplifting. Fresh fruit from Brussels soil. 🍊 — 
“Doubting turned into peeling, mixing turned into feeling. Fueled by vitamins and rosé, I dove headfirst into the record collection. Somewhere in between, the podcast appeared, the bottle disappeared, and everything got juicy.” - Moustie @aronmoustie @slowriders___ Listen through the link in bio!

Marvin didn’t just sing, he documented.
Recorded in 1971, he was singing from the heart of a city on edge: rising prices, crumbling housing, police pressure, the weight of racism, money leaving the neighborhood while war budgets kept growing. It was the closing track of “What’s Going On” almost like the moment where the tears finally spill over. The groove is warm, almost hypnotic. The bass walks, the congas breathe, the strings hover like a grey sky before rain. But inside that softness is a knot of frustration: the feeling of working, paying, surviving… and still never really being safe. Half a century later, the details have changed but the tension hasn’t.
 We’re still talking about: * Cities where some thrive and others are pushed out * Paychecks that disappear into rent, bills, and debt * Communities over-policed and under-protected * Governments that find endless money for weapons, but not for care * The quiet burnout of just trying to get through the month Marvin put all of that into one track without shouting. He lets the rhythm carry the anger in circles, like a thought you can’t switch off. That’s why it still feels so current: it’s not just protest, it’s exhaustion. Not just a slogan, but a nervous system. Listening to Inner City Blues today is a reminder that the feelings so many people have in 2025 are not new, and that soul music has always been a way of holding those emotions without numbing them. The rhythm stays smooth, but the truth stays sharp.
This isn’t background music, it’s a mirror, still showing us the same reflection. 🍑 Good fruit for thought. Track: Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) – Marvin Gaye

SATURDAY 29.11 — MÉNI INVITES @sundaydowntime and @goodfruitseries come together in spirit at the window, two slow-listening worlds shaped for gentle focus and deep ease. Born from patience and curiosity, they drift through rare picks, quiet gems and warm corners, sound taking the long way around, soft and unhurried. Later @meni_ojoo takes over the club, joined by @kianokeef and @sam_picasso , guiding the night with deep selections and mellow rhythms. A space to move, listen, and let the music carry you through the late-autumn hours.

𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗡 Born beneath a waxing moon in ’97, Marvin grew up charged with unstoppable energy and an insatiable musical hunger. Guided by his father’s eclectic spirit and his own restless curiosity, he became a musical medium—channeling everything from early club specters to contemporary down-tempo phantoms. After five years of relentless devotion, he ascended to Funke residency, forever binding him to the decks of destiny. Marvin has already conjured a Good Fruit podcast, dare to listen to the snippets… if you can handle what waits in the groove. 𝗞𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗔 From the shadowy basements of Ghent’s record dens emerges Krifa, crate-digger, collector, and sonic sorcerer of the weird and wonderful. As a long-time Music Mania curator, he’s forever drawn to rhythms that lurk outside the ordinary: dusty breaks that crawl under your skin, drums that strike like thunder in the dark, grooves smooth enough to lull you into a trance before the floor beneath you begins to shift… For Good Fruit’s Halloween edition, Krifa slips into his most mysterious form, summoning the jazzy, funky and laid-back spirits buried deep in his collection. Beware: these sounds may haunt you long after the night is over. 🦇 Catch these two freaks at Funke’s Creepy Corner from 6PM until midnight, guiding your soul through the twilight hours, just before the club creatures awaken … come in your finest Halloween attire . . . if you dare. @marvin_wav @k.r.i.f.a @funke.fu @goodfruitseries
