This month on Erotic Paradise – XL Middleton, the architect of modern funk from the West Coast.
Born and raised in Pasadena, California, XL Middleton has spent the last 20 years crafting a signature sound that bridges G‑funk, boogie, and synth-driven soul. As the founder of MoFunk Records, he’s championed analog grooves in a digital world, releasing cult classics and pushing a new generation of funk artists into the spotlight.
From underground parties in L.A. to Tokyo’s city-pop scene, his influence runs deep – tight basslines, lush chords, vocoder hooks and that unmistakable bounce.
