Read the eL Cee Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
The names eL Cee I'm a producer and rapper from east London I have been making music for around 6-8 years making use of drum machines keyboards pen & Pad and other hardware as im an old soul I love
Analogue equipment still collecting to this day, which helps find the right feel
To create my sound with different options, I challenge myself avoiding sfx as I find it retains a warmth i find rare nowaday as im influenced by alot of the earlier hip hop,Rnb,roots and soul, I use these influences to create a modern twist yet achieve that nostalgic feel that inspires me.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Many of my main influences have been from early on, the general vibes & environment's i was in as a child that have always stuck with me like my father was a Roots and Dub producer so alot of my childhood was surrounded by big soundsystems, music festivals and his record collection which initally got me into making music but through phases, different things artist's & producers have influenced me which you can definetly hear in my music, the likes of king tubby ,
j dilla,buckwild ,Pete rock ,mf doom ,black thought,madlib are some of my top but the list is endless. I would say the main inspiration has never really changed Ive just used my influences like puzzle pieces.
What´s new right now?
Currently I'm working on a hip hop album due to be released after easter this is one that I've fully produced and performed on, it's also going to have some real talented upcoming artists featured on it so keep an eye for that one also a few singles to be released in the lead up to the album release in the next 3 months, other than that I've been busy with some collaborations a few artist to name (Mitch, Nik Soni, K the Infinite, KingAyeo, Natty Wylah, VisuaL)
also working on a compilation EP which will entirely be produced by me and almost every track will have a different artist on it.
