BANG! @
southernvangard #radio presents the @
Deejay-Element #interview session! This is a special one, ya’ll. As you all know, it’s summer time, and vacations are in full effect. Meeks is doing just that this week, Doe was on vacay last week, so we’ve been doing a few different things to cover the gaps. So the timing couldn’t have been better for @
J57 to be in the area and fill-in for Meeks during this interview session! Who better to help interview someone than one of their closest friends and creative collaborator? Alright, on with the goods - we level set with El by talking about his new producer EP that’s dropping this fall, some real production nerd talk on his recent affinity for Ableton, his extensive production credits for folks like @
SoulKhan and fellow Kentuckian @
Allen-Poe, AND the latest on his new group project called K!NG H!PPO, comprised of Element, J57 and @
Matt-Stamm. We hop in the wayback machine and hear about El’s influences in his early years that pushed him into DJing, how he linked with @
ElGant and other hip-hop luminaries at the University of Albany SUNY and how his move to NYC eventually landed him in the Brown Bag All Stars Crew. There’s lots more treats inside, including an INSANE studio session story w/ Chace Infinite that is a must listen.
