As we mentioned before, 8-bit thug-ass-Eloq joined New Folder recently. Here's a small interview for you to get to know him better...

1. who the fuck is elog and why should i care?

- Eloq is August's beatmaking alias, Eloq is an 8-bit thug of has love for cratediggin and old consoles.
You should care, cause or else i'll make a diss beat straight to ya face !

One of my tracks, "Liquid" will be featured on U-beat Records' (Jay Scarlett and Onur Engin) "Maverick Sessions EP 2" which will be released late of july, more info coming!
Also "Head Head" has gotten on the danish mega 2 - disc compilation "Elektronisk Tirsdag Compilation 09"
I have done some production on Sandhedens new album which is coming out later this year.
Also sent some beats to Jon Wayne, which is pretty exciting, amazing lyricist who sounds like a white MF Doom.. !
And New Folder has promised to release me on a 12", if you don't, i will sue you ..

And last but not least..new beats 365 a year 24/7 a day


3. music inspirations?

J Dillas MPC swing, Madlibs organized mess, progressive synth music from the 50's to the 70's, old soul that deserved a 45 pitch and some old gritty funk drum beats.
and of course Super Nintendos melodic spectrum!

4. eloq dj's what?

I dj with my buddy Dj Logik, were called AK-47, we play soul, funk and good hip hop! sometimes we might put on a wonky record or two and maybe even a latin cut!


5. eloq creates what? and how?

I create beats, some of them can stand alone, and some of them fits to some rappin or singin! i like it kind of simple, the most important thing is to create a groove which makes you nod your head, when you have done that and you can sit and nod your head to it for 3 minutes, you have a beat! groove and basslines.. ! and samples. and synths.. ok it might not be that simple all the time but even if its not simple, its simple.. know what i mean?
I use my mpc 1000 a whole lot! spend some hours diggin through some old prog synth or 70's soul to find something useful and then just chop it up and lay it in the cut.. My other tools are, mac, logic, microkorg and a microphone on which i record everything from voices to some sticks hitting something made of metal..
