interviews I’ve done up, I’ve got a bunch sitting around on my computer.

For now, a more recent interview. 12th Planet and Flinch came to Victoria on July 23rd and hist up Sugar. Before the show we met up at their hotel and recorded an interview, which is posted below. Unlike my other interviews, this one has a video as well (at bottom of post) and I’m hoping to do more of that.

Both 12th Planet and Flinch are super rad dudes, and after we chatted we hung out until the show started. The show was wild, with all kinds of twists (including a questionably timed moment of silence for Amy Winehouse and some random girls with no connection to 12th or Flinch standing at the front of the stage for the whole show “dancing”). Nonetheless, both 12th and Flinch are talented DJs and kept the show exciting. Definitely do not miss a chance to check these guys out in the future!

These guys
have only recently taken up dubstep, but they are fast establishing a name for
themselves among the ranks of dubstep’s biggest names. The have played shows
internationally, and tour around Canada frequently. They have yet to put out a
full length album, but their original tracks ( like “White Satin,” “Out for Blood,”
and “Journey of a Lifetime“) and remixes (such as “Paradise Circus,” “Pyramid Song,”
and “Gimme Shelter“) have made a big splash in the dubstep community, and have
been watched hundreds of thousands of time on youtube.

I caught up with them before their show at Sugar on February 12th, 2011. We talked about their old hip hop production, favourite musicians, biggest influences, creative processes and other aspects of their lives and music. The song that plays at the end is the Zeds Dead remix of Blue Foundation’s “Eyes on Fire.” Follow Zeds Dead on Facebook.

5), he’s also more recently launched a successful solo career. His music is down to
earth and accessible, but certainly does not lack thematic content. Chali 2na keeps
the funk at the forefront in his songs and his baritone verses drive along in perfect
rhythm with the beat.
Last year at Rifflandia festival, Chali 2na took some time out of his busy touring
schedule to chat with Vaho C. and myself. We talked for close to three hours while
Chali cut his hair and shaved, covering topics from Malcolm X to “Inception.” In the
following shortened version of the interview we discuss Chali’s future projects, his early
life, his introduction to hip hop culture, why he never went into gangster rap, his work
with Damian Marley, and various other topics. The photos below are shot by Graham
Kendall of Madfish Photography. And a big thank you is due to Chali and his touring
management for making this interview possible.

It’s worth giving the interview a listen, but since it’s long it’s probably best to download
it and throw it on your iPod or a CD.

Sugar?” I had heard Skrillex’s name around, but having not listened to much
dubstep I hadn’t heard much of his music. Regardless I’m always down to do an
interview so I said sure asked if Sami Barker would come to shoot some photos and
grabbed my recorder.

I’m super glad we did it. Sonny is not only a talented musician, but also a very cool, down to earth and approachable guy. After the interview he invited the few press people who were there to stick around and celebrate his birthday with him. Out came the Grey Goose and Red Bull and the half hour before the set started was spent hanging around and chatting.

The show itself was insane. If you haven’t heard Skrillex’s music on a proper set of speakers, you haven’t really heard his music. And if you haven’t heard his music at all, get on it, because it will come to you sooner or later. He recently released his EP Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, which proke a record by holding eight of top ten list on Beatport, as well as taking the #1 spot with the EP’s title track. Below the pictures you’ll find some of his music and a video of the birthday welcome Victoria gave him.

The interview below begins with Marshall A asking a few questions, after which I take over. Thanks again to Alvaro at Blueprint Events for setting this up and to Sami Barker for snapping some great shots (You can see the rest of them here)

The producer-MC duo- made up
of producer Amp Live and rapper Zumbi- have been rocking hip hop’s underground with
fresh music for quite some time now. I was introduced to them fairly late in the game
when they dropped The Takeover in 2009, and have been a fan ever since.
The Takeover is a gem, with a wide range of tightly produced songs drawn
together by Zumbi’s poignant verses.
Zion I’s most recent album, Atomic Clock, dropped on November 9th, 2010. Staying
true to their tradition of constantly adapting their sound and style, Atomic Clock moves
away from the sound of their previous albums adopting a more dubbed-out sound on
some tracks and collaborating heavily with live bands on the production. One way in
which the album does not break tradition is that it is a great listen. The beats are well
put together, the collaborations work and the verses make for good listening. I got on
the phone with Zumbi soon after the album’s release and we chatted about the album,
Zion I and music in general. The song at the end of the interview is Amp Live’s remix
of “Many Styles” off of Atomic Clock, which features Rebelution.

This is an old
interview we did with him back in 2009, which I had forgot about until now.
The dude is awesome. Not only is he a sick rhymesmith, but he is also extremely
humble, funny and intelligent (one of the only hip hop artists I know of who’s
pursuing a masters degree… unfortunately this is a rarity, when it probably shouldn’t
be). His live performances have been spot on. So now that I’ve been listening to more
Shad than ever, it’s high time to post this interview up, as well as post up some of
his music videos for everyone to enjoy. The interview was done, for the most part,
by Angie B Fresh of the Corner, so props to her too.
