Sa-Ra Interview

bpicky2 — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 03:00:33 +0000

I caught up with Taz Arnold of the mighty Sa-Ra Creative Partners to talk about making your music successful, their debut album, (pretty strange for a famous production crew), and what it takes to become hip hop royalty.

Wax Tailor Interview

bpicky2 — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 03:00:08 +0000

We were delighted to catch up with Wax Tailor for a chat. A sample based hip hop wizard who was the Cannes Film Festival dj this year, his music is detailed and cinematic.

RJD2 Interview

bpicky2 — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 02:00:08 +0000

An interview with RJD2 about his new album, becoming a muso and singing in the showerâ€¦

Diplo Interview

bpicky2 — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 02:30:30 +0000

An interview with Diplo, a Philidelphia-based DJ and producer who is also involved in running the record labels Mad Decent, Money Studies and Hollertronix. His production is characterised by Baltimore, Miami bass, crunk and Rio baile funk sounds, and his mixes often have elements of 80’s electro. The exception to his club orientated music is his album Florida, released on Big Dada in 2004, which is sample-based instrumental hip hop.

I caught up with him in his hotel room, where we were joined by Pase Rock from Spank Rock, where we talked of the death of Disco D, Florida, baile funk and his new movie, Favela on Blast – a documentary about the Favelas of Rio and their music.

Clark Interview

bpicky2 — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 02:30:38 +0000

An interview with Warp’s Clark (formerly Chris Clark). We talked about his new album, Body Riddle, being a hermit and things that go boom!

Kid Koala Interview

bpicky2 — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 02:30:23 +0000

A chat with the weird and wonderful Kid Koala about his new album and upcoming tour of Australia this December was featured on this week’s show.

This is especially exciting given I will be supporting Kid Koala and Amon Tobin on the Canberra leg of their upcoming Australian tour, at my old club night Ug Beats.

Braintax Interview

bpicky2 — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 02:30:55 +0000

Tune in for an interview with Low Life Recordings’ owner, Braintax. He’s just dropped Panorama, which is thought provoking, culturally eclectic and eloquent. When asked what he’d bust on a massive mega-phone that could be heard worldwide, he simply said that he’d urge people to bother, question and afford themselves the joy of being passionate. A truthsayer and soothsayer.

Kid 606 Interview

bpicky2 — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 12:22:07 +0000

Apart from the small blunder of calling Kid 606 ‘Kid Koala’, (he was pleased it wasn’t Kid Rock!), Miguel and I got along swimmingly. We talked deep arsed thinking, pretty girls at raves, mash ups and the proliferation of music. Check-it!
