WLPWR's Free Game Producers Podcast | Episode 7 Ft. Lord Finesse


This week we are privileged to talk to the legendary hip hop emcee and producer Lord Finesse. The D.I.T.C. (Digging in the Crates) member talks about: - How he got his start in producing by watching DJ Premier, Diamond D and Large Professor. - The Digging In The Crates approach to finding records and sampling. - Discovering fellow D.I.T.C. legend Big L, and his early production on Big L's debut album. - What it means to really produce an artist verses sending beats. - His thoughts on the modern-day music business, free mix tapes and music streaming.

Bonk Knob Records - Not What I Call Bonk Wave Volume 001

Image
Producer Yoni Den shares the release "Not What I Call Bonk Wave Volume 001" by Bonk Knob Records . So the compilation was based around this idea of making music which is or isn’t bonk wave, and the whole thing is very vague, nobody knows what is bonk wave or what is not, so every artist just makes music! Haha! It’s been a really fun project. The name of the compilation also pays homage to those old cheap pop compilations “Now That’s What I Call Music” , and the artwork is inspired by some of the early cover art from those, with the artists listed on the front and all that. The shouting man or music cop is a bonk wave motif! Ok, so Yoni Den wrote up the theme, made up an equally silly ‘label’ “Bonk Knob Records” , which is obviously not a label, and threw the idea out into the indie music community. Over the next few weeks peeps sent me their works and I curated the compilation. The music is eclectic and wild. There is some really great stuff on there, some bass a

Bonk Knob Records - Not What I Call Bonk Wave - Volume 002 (Disc B)

Image
A compilation of Electronic Music which is or is not #BonkWave only this time it's night time. I’m sure you remember the Bonk Wave compilation in August. It was fun stuff, people seemed to enjoy it, and a few musicians expressed interest in being involved on a second one, so Yoni Den setup an Open submission, with a simple brief “original music which is or is not bonkwave” and gave the project the subtitle “Bonkwave Nights” as a kind of suggestion of theme. The whole Bonk Wave thing originated on Mastodon , and that is where most of the posting and conversation is, but it does stretch out into a few other independent music communities like Lines and STBB Forever .
