SPINE TV PODCAST EPISODE 2 - ALOE BLACC

POSTED: Sept. 27, 2010 by Spinetv

Following on from last month's premiere of our Spine TV Podcast with producer extraordinaire Just Blaze, we are proud to present the second installment featuring the words and sounds of Aloe Blacc.

For this episode, with a lot of help from the Fact Magazine crew, we ventured deep into the bowels of the Vinyl Factory building in Soho to grab 20 minutes with the man himself just before his in-store performance at Phonica.

Wearing the snazziest suit we've seen in a long time, Aloe talked about Emanon and his beginnings as an emcee, meeting the Stones Throw family whilst filling Madlib's seat on the Lootpack tourbus,  the Brazilian influence on his debut album Shine Through, and choosing the definitive sound for his latest release on Stones Throw, Good Things. As well as dropping a new album this week, Aloe is kickstarting his European tour with a show at Paradiso in Amsterdam on Wednesday.

Delivered monthly, the Spine TV podcast series features in-depth interviews with some of our favourite artists, producers, musicians and rappers. Coming soon: Ty and Mayer Hawthorne.
