“Garrett III is more of a swan project. A final installment, if you will. Garrett is now retreating more deeply, as evident by the album cover by Gang Culture into obscurity. The time has come for a landing via this 3rd installment of his ‘private life’. After surviving a lockdown x worldwide pandemic in 1 piece, without going insane, he has finally decided 2 conclude this phase of his tightrope walk between lush Ambient touched Modern-Funk & the choice of no vocals / strictly instrumental aural experiences, for listeners of all hues, backgrounds & taste. The hope is that it’s enjoyed in whatever way feasible for all human (& alien) kind.”

Melbourne's Louis Marlo returns to Merriware for his second solo EP, Stained Glass.

Theme To An Ending - Catchy and slick, made for the summer, this bouncey number has all the elements of a beautiful house cut.

Lay The Love Down drops perfectly into those disco house sets. A perflect blend of how old school meets the new school.Nobody Else - Flippin samples in only the way Jerk boy know how, this deep and subtle groover gives you that edge when it comes to digging for the deep house joints.

Silence In The Secret Garden is an intensely personal and spiritual journey into the heart & soul of black music. From the reckless dark minimalism of the title track Silence In The Secret Garden to the irresistible funk of Yesterday’s Party… this classic album has continued to surprise and inspire in the 14 years since it’s initial release.
