AJ: First introduce yourself to people who may not know you?
PL: Southside Jamaica Queens own....Prof.logik.
AJ: What got you into production?
PL: Growing up in new York listening to radio dj's hit a certain nerve...i knew way back then that i wanted
to make music...i felt that rappers nor dj's would be able to do anything without a producer...lol here i am.
AJ: Who would you say are some of your biggest influences?
PL: Without a doubt the late great j.dilla, dj premier, rza, madlib, dj red alert, The cosmos,my dreams, enhteogens(natural psychedelics) and weed.....
AJ: What is your current production setup like right now?
PL: My current set-up is :ensoniq asr-10, boss sp-303, korg dw-6000, ableton live 8, akai mpd 32, 2 krk's rokit 6's and plenty of dusty vinyl.
AJ: What drew you towards using the Boss/Roland SP line of samplers?
PL: The sp-303 was my first sampler....i drifted to the mpc a few years after that..it just was gritty enough for me..im not a fan of clean crisp audio....but the sp-303 has my sampler of choice as long as i can remeber...it wasnt a follow the leader thing for me.
AJ: How would you describe your style/sound of production?
PL: Blunted, gritty, spacey, lo-fi, boom-bap....thats sums it up.
AJ: Besides producing are you involved in any other musical projects?
PL: Yeah me and my little brother...are working on a album...yeah i will be spittin rhymes along with my brother, be on the look out for that.....
AJ: What is your take on the current underground beat scene?
PL: I luv it....now more than ever producers are able to shine alone....off of straight production
without mc's....its a beautiful..plus the current underground production scene...is full of so much talent.
AJ: Is there a current beat scene in SC?
PL: Nope not really...but it is growing..slowly but for sure its growing..plus im not from here...lol.
AJ: Is there any producers your really feeling at the moment?
PL: My hollow drum(collective), juj, shlohmo, munoz, ohbliv and samiyam.
AJ: Whats next for P.Logik?
PL: Plenty of collaboration...with soundcloud producers...to many to name..future science releases...winter release with skew records.
AJ: Shout Outs?
PL: Of course future science,skew records,cascade records and to all the Soundcloud producers that show me luv...i see yall and big up to serbia(bobby-anno)@heartbeat radio and the entire borough of Queens....
