kyle-hall-blog

With us recently adding his hard-to-find Wild Oats label to our catalogue and his recent new 12″ on Hyperdub, we thought it was time to have a little chat to one of the most young and exciting producers coming out of Detroit.

BLEEP: We’ve heard that you like to make some of your tracks live. how do you usually go about making a piece of music?

KH: The way i go about making a piece of music varies depending on what i’m feeling at the moment. Sometimes I just hit the record button on My digital record or cassette deck and Jam then thats it. Sometimes I use pause record methods with tapes. Sometimes I just do A whole song out of sequences in the MPC. There really are so many ways…



BLEEP: What can we expect to hear from your label Wild Oats in 2010?

KH: Currently Im working on another Kyle Hall 12″. Also I’m planning to possibly release some stuff on Wild Oats with Jack Hamill (AKA Space Dimension Controller). I have some young Special cats on the burner right now that I wanna put out. DJ Conspiracy is one of them. Hes from Southwest Detroit – Real Gritty Dude.

BLEEP: How did growing up in Detroit influence the sound of your music?

KH: I don’t know exactly. This is the only place I’ve lived so this the only direct regional influence I had. Maybe on a subconscious level, there is a lot of influence. I definitely listen to a lot of Detroit artists anyway. Nowadays you can listen to other peoples stuff on the net, so influence from music and sound can come from what ever you direct your mind towards.

The sleeves of the latest Wild Oats release used interesting DIY ethic. Can you tell us the reason behind the ‘recycled’ sleeve idea?

I thought it was sweet. It was the Dirty Thouz so the shit had to be dirty! But I think only a few distributers got the recycled Planet E sleeves – that was some special edition stuff. I gave some of those out to friends to. The idea of that was a rising of a new. In a way thats what everyone does, we take from the last generation and use it to define our own.

The full Wild Oats catalogue is available from Bleep.com now.
