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...
It's three of my characters, Enth, Ila, and Izi, trying to figure out where they are through a fog in the middle of nowhere...
It’s a lot to ask nowadays, but we’d love for people to listen to the record as a whole since we made it with the intention of flowing like in full from start to finish.
I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...
I wanted it to feel like acceptance. Saying acceptance makes it feel a bit stiff, when really the vibe is like, f*** yeah everybody, hell yeah, and if you can’t get down with this, f*** off...

Obviously, it is much easier to keep in touch, exchange files and information. But nothing compares to the real organic work. That’s where the magic begins and it’s impossible to achieve it through the synthetic connection. Especially when the music is spontaneous and interactive...
The role that labels used to play pre-internet adoption had much more to do with building up an artist, and getting them to where they need to be to become superstars. Today, the artist builds themselves up on their own...
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...
Nearly every Thursday night, we would park our cars at Comps and have a listening party for which ever rap album we chose to listen to when the clock struck midnight...

The stage background was a sight to behold, being an American flag with the stripes changed with rainbow colors representing the pride flag. Where the stars would be, they were replaced with the numbers 666 and a ring of weed leaves...
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...
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...
Seven Lions threw the fuck down. That's it...
On some psychotic episodes, I catch myself hallucinating cameras on the corners of my bedroom, broadcasting to a non-existent audience my suffering, as if it were just a theatrical performance. Just because all that suffering by itself lacks purpose, feels empty...
I wanted it to feel like how the internet feels to navigate, so the variety of sounds is very reflective of that...
Live Nation told me Daniel's first three songs of the set would be performed under a massive curtain. I knew this would be interesting...
Harbor, in hindsight it was a collage of beats I had laying around in my harddrive, ram packet into a 12'' record. No idea or thought behind it...
LMAO hell yea I got some crazy song titles I can go off on which ones are some of my favorite. It's gotta be Gentrify Water, J Train Cyberpolice, Kingdom Hearts In Bisexual Atlanta...
