The first computer I ever had the chance of using was my family's HP Compaq DC7100 running Windows XP and that clean yet primitive UI design had a very big impact on me...

I had all these strange pieces of audio, from conversations w/ my friends, snippets of old medical films, warped acoustic noise, and chaotic synthesized recordings, and they all struck me a certain way...
Music is emotion. Whether happy or sad, it's just a way of helping you deal with them and set the record straight about yourself...
Plus we're all having midlife crises and doing this was cheaper than buying a Miata or getting TRT therapy...
I’ve been lucky that I’ve always had more ideas for music than time to produce them all, so in the beginning, it was easy. I was releasing 15-20 tracks a year, and labels were eating them up...
Given JPEGMAFIA's notoriety our expectations were high for his live performance...
Headlining the event was non-other than Earl Sweatshirt of Odd Future fame. Earl's evolution as an artist has been fascinating to view, and we believe his change in trajectory came with his 2018 release titled Some Rap Songs...

The sound selection in some of the instrumentals were really unique and haven’t heard anything like it in some of the previous projects like space requiem, spiral, and four walls. shellboy has some new style melodies/flows on this project that i haven’t heard them use before like on no evil and guardian angel...

You enter this wormhole, the room disappears and you're thrown into a bunch of patterns, and stuff like that. There wasn't a lot of color...

El Perro del Mar is merely an extension of me that enables me to do and say the things which I find hard to express in daily life. I’ve been using the name since 2004 when I came across a stray dog on a Spanish beach...

Because of Flying Lotus’s nature I knew the visuals at this live show would be postmodern abominations...

I manically decided to go to McDonalds, went on Instagram live and was just screaming the idea over and over, got back home still live and recorded it all to a click track, no beat, then made the beat after. A crazy moment that everyone from Anthony Fantano, to T-Pain, to Knxwledge reacted to and enjoyed thoroughly...
