It’s our favourite time of the week - release day!
This week we’ve got a jam-packed interview with Intalekt - with the busiest person we know! Intalekt is an artist, one half of production duo Billy Dukes, a radio host on Reprezent, the founder of School of Bop, a DJ, and frankly a strong pillar in his musical community.
As a producer, Intalekt’s music is a genre-bending mix inspired by the likes of hip hop, soul, gospel and rock, plus features heavy sampling and instrumentation, which all culminate to make his trippy sounds. Looking back at his 2015 self-produced debut EP (it is what it is) IIWII, Intalekt championed UK talent, with features by the likes of Jacob Banks, Kojey Radical, Jay Prince and Ella Frank, and similarly the release was celebrated by UK radio-royalty, Trevor Nelson, Mista Jam and DJ Target.
Keen champion of UK talent, Intalekt's ardent support of community and connecting is clear in his 2019 founding of young people's initiative School of Bop. Aimed at getting young curious creatives (13-25) into the world of music production, the workshops are free immersive sessions where Intalekt share's his experience and knowledge, brings together artist friends to support the growth of industry connections, and culminates in a showcase of amazing work of the participants.
If you can't tell, we're blown away!
In this week’s episode, we talk about the fluidity of genre, Intalekt's approach to work, his community work with young people, plus getting through creative blocks and whether or not he believes in writer's block.
