You've been working a lot with the Dojo Fam Collective. Has that had an affect on your solo stuff?
Well naturally when you're around people for a long period of time, you pick up certain things from them. I've definitely learned a lot from them over the past couple years and I know that they've had an influence on the growth of my sound.
Is there a specific process you have for making music or do you just go by feeling?
Can we expect a project from you any time soon?
I'm not looking to release a full solo project any time soon. Or maybe I am. I might pull a Beyonce and drop it haha. But honestly, I'm just taking my time and building special original pieces.
Where can people find your music and stay connected to you?
All my music can be streamed and downloaded from my Bandcamp and I love connecting with my fans via my Tumblr.
When creating your song "Toes" you used Rhythm Roulette. Can you explain what Rhythm Roulette is and why you decided to use it for this song?
Mass Appeal has a segment called Rhythm Roulette where they blindfold a producer and take them to a local record store. Then the producer blindly selects 3 records to sample. I did mine a little different, just closed my eyes and the first 3 samples in my library that I clicked on were the songs I was gonna flip for "Toes". My favorite producer of all time is Justin Nealis aka Party Supplies and when I saw him on Rhythm Roulette, I dropped everything and got to it.
Is there a specific process you have for making music or do you just go by feeling?
The process varies for production. I try not to get too comfortable making music the same way and it's always fun to experiment. However when it comes to writing, I always come up with a funky hook first. Capital Ode put me on to that.
I know that you enjoy sampling a lot. Are there any songs that you are dying to sample or do you like to keep those things secret?
Sampling is fun. When I first got into making music, Charles Hamilton was on the come up and what he did with samples was amazing to me. Back in 2012 he had a show where he was making beats on stage and asking the audience what he should sample and after that I wanted to start producing my own records. Thus, I started off with a lot of samples in 2013 and these 2 tracks (which are from last year) but I haven't really been sampling at all on the new music I'm working on..... and nah, there's not really any tracks that I'm dying to sample.
