Episode 11: Fibre

This week on "Hot Takes", we spent some time with our good friend Fibre! Future funk OG from back in the early days of the genre's explosion in popularity, Alex enthusiastically consented to join us for an evening of rousing tales, comparing notes on DJing and production, and of course, some strongly held opinions on music genres. Producing since a very young age, Fibre was a part of Artzie Music and Future Society Collective, riding the wave during future funk's heyday, and now he runs his own label and studio, Montaime. In addition to all of those accolades, Alex has mixed and mastered several critically acclaimed releases, including Skelly's own "Glows Then Melts" LP. During our chat, Fibre let us in on some intimate details regarding a track he wrote for his partner, how he came to meet and begin working with Discoholic, and he divulged some personal details regarding the origin of his love for music and some of his production techniques. Despite the technical difficulties at the beginning, you should tune in for some warm moments towards the end regarding the importance of collectives and community in the art and music scene! You might even got to hear about some hilarious moments of frustration Fibre experienced in undergrad, and he may or may not have let slip which Daft Punk track he feels is their most overrated. All this and more on episode 11 of "Hot Takes" with Fibre!
