Monday is here!, not long now; the Beat Cypher is just round the corner...so continuing the Spotlight series I'll hit you all off another round; this time we're with Birmingham producer Percy Filth.
Louis Den BeatCypher 03 Spotlight "Percy Filth"
Hey!!, please introduce yourself to everybody; let us know who you are what you do and how long you've been doing it!.
My name is lord percy filth i am 34 i have been into hip hop since 82 and making beats since 96.
Was there a defining moment (event / hearing a record etc) that led you into making beats / becoming a producer?.
Above the law "murder rap" was the tune that first inspired me to make beats but kit wasn't as readily available back then so it took me a while to actually start out.
What was your first piece of equipment and what were those beats like?, any interesting stories about things were doing to begin with / finding your feet?
My first bit of kit was an old mac and a copy of cubase in 1995, it took me 18 months to start using it because I had to teach myself from scratch with no help. My beats consisted of looped samples and click and move drums. Good ideas but needed expansion.
Whats the one bit of advice youd give to anyone starting out today?
For heads starting out today I would suggest you start buying wax straight away, keep copping them slices and you will have a solid arsenal to rely upon once you get your technique locked down.
What can heads expect from you at LOUIS DEN BEAT CYPHER?
At the cypher heads can expect spaced out electronics and bounce, twixed with horned out boom bappery.
Finally any plugs or shout outs..
I wanna plug my new e.p out soon on Aerosolik/Eatgood entitled "elbow grease", available on all formats and featuring the talents of maylay sparks, foreign beggars,j-sands, stig of the dump, juice aleem plus many many more.
shout outs go to all Louis Den crew from near and far, Jez at Aerosolik, Eatgood and all my friends and fam.
