How has the response been to your
recent releases?
Its been
interesting. I've never released anything on my own so its been a
real learning experience. Everybody that’s copped the tapes has
come back with positive feedback though so I gather Listeners are
understanding what I'm doing and feeling the new direction I've
decided to take.
Most people know who you are by now,
but why the alias?
I got tired of
being the type of producer that makes beats, puts them on the net
with a price tag, sells, and repeats process. I’m not about selling
my beats to some toys for a quick buck, I mean, I respect a dude that
can live off his music but I'm not in that head space anymore.
These days I'm all
about trying new things and growing as a producer, I want to make
music that contributes to my own catalog rather than everyone elses
and even though choosing to use an alias has definitely made it
tricky for listeners that followed me previously to continue to do
so, I feel that I've made the right decision.
What have you been working on
recently?
I've been busy
working on the first installment from a new series of tapes titled 'Cypher Sessions' that should be out for free download within
the next month or two. I have also started putting together joints
for the next Earbuds release. I'm really taking my time with it
though, I want to make sure I don’t rush it and fuck the vibe up.
Who are you favorite artists in
Perth?
Keep an ear out
for Oath's – The Sun sets in the west LP and Kid Tsunami's The
Chase LP. Both solid artists making real music!
Who are your favorite artists in
general?
Shit, Hard
question. Lately I've been getting into a lot of lesser known
artists, I prefer listening to cats working out of home studios
rather than the more established guys.
I can relate more
to artists like Onoe Caponoe, Cracker Jon, Ollie Sudds or the Shedmen
for example.... dudes making quality music for the love with limited
funds!
Favorite producers?
Rather than list
off all the classics that everybody does, Ill take this opportunity
to shine some light on some real dope underground producers that I've
been keeping an ear on lately. I urge peeps to check out StarvmentZ,
Jenova7, Illuzual, Hashfinger, Son of a bricklayer, Jae Genius,
2latethadon etc... these are all extremely talented mad cunts that
people need to know about.
What equipment do you use for beats?
A piece of hose,
Rigged up to a Gatorade bottle Rigged up to my mouth, Rigged up to my
brain.
What is your inspiration to make
music?
I'm not really
sure anymore, I'm just sorta doing what I'm doing and enjoying the
process. I used to care about status and what people thought but
these days I couldn't give a fuck. I'm just doing me and I feel my
music has finally become a reflection of this.
Is there anybody you would like to
work with in future?
Definitely, moves
are currently being made to make it happen!
Any upcoming shows or releases?
Im not planning on
doing any shows of my own any time soon, but be sure to peep out the
homies Slackjaw and KnoeFM supporting Jehst, June 30th at
the Civic Hotel. Shits gonna be ill.
Release wise, Keep
peeping my bookface and bandcamp pages for updates.
Where can we find your music?
Hopefully within
any mad cunts music collection!! Otherwise peep www.thegntlmn.com
