Interview with Green Gross Productions

Hey all, the 2nd interview I have for this month is courtesy of Rico from Green Gross Productions.

GGP Interview

When did you start and what got you into making beats?

I started making music about 10 years ago. i only dabbled in it to start and was more focused on djing. as i became a better dj and it took less effort i needed a new challenge so i turned to making my own productions..i started making hip hop beats about 4 years ago after meeting a mc on a boat party and hip asking me to make him some hip hop.

What are your musical influences and how do they effect your style? 

I believe all producers bring somthing new to the table as long as they be them selves and not try to copy others. one of my biggest influences is paul van dyk, his prodution and djing skill are at pinnacle of whats possible. with hip hop of course was listening to all the big names but masta ace really stands out for me. he tells stories in his tracks and theres always emotion behind it. long hot summer is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever.

If you could choose 10 rappers to produce for who would they be?

Masta ace + EMC , ice cube, dre, sway ( UK )....cant think of many more at the moment , a lil high

What projects have you worked on so far?

My first hip hop project was The green grocers, from there came green gross productions as i started producing more beats. ive only produced tracks for a couple of artists and they are. Trooth , Rob jax and S.T.L

What projects are you working on in future?

Ive moving back into electronica a little bit as i have an opportunity to move to europe to dj if all goes well. im in the process of remixing a paul van dyk track as well as a mauro picotto track..
im still running mixtape tuesdays at the newport in fremantle and hosting mc battles, in march im holding a hip hop dj battle and mid next year i want to start holding producer battles there also.

Who do you think is holding it down for Perth right now?

ME, perth underground ( loftee ) , trooth, byp, d- toure, black poet, jamahl, tera, xzakt, dialekt, and all the mc's heading over to SA to battle

What gear are you using to make beats? 

Studio monitors are 2 x krk rokits with 1 x sub, allen and heath xone 92r , 2 x cdj 1000 , akai 16 pad, akai 8 pad with rotary, 64 key midi keyboard , rhode mic, korg electribe es, ea, reason 5, adobe audition 3, delving into abelton

What are the top 5 beats ever made to you?
