The Music
Le Principle has been shakin his feet in the Studio and I've had only positive things to say about every production he slips on my computer. Here's an interview I wrote with him and one of my favorite tracks 'The Music'. Le Principle is playing Discovery this Saturday in New York, RSVP here: adiscoparty.com
Le Principle Interview: Q: What is your spirit animal? LP: Bald Eagle. Just because I get that I look like a bird a lot. Q: If you could have been any musician, who would you be? LP: I would probably have been Guillermo Scott Herren not to be confused with Gil Scott-Heron (who is equally as awesome)... Only I've looked up to prefuse 73 as a musician and producer since junior high, it may not be house or techno or anything like that but his work is incredible. Q: We are really excited to have you for Discovery, how does disco inspire you as an artist? LP: Well aside from flat out loving disco and funk; the history really interests me.. The initial idea of disco being mainstream in a culture and than being blacklisted underground. Also the idea of a culture or even ethics rising from psychical forums like the paradise garage and the warehouse. They were so serious about the music and the culture that surrounded it. I feel as if a lot of people in our generation are more interested in the building of themselves as an artist or performer, which is fine, I just entertain the idea of community much more. Comments: yo yo santos: le principle is 2 people, not just one person who looks like a bird.
