    Simon Adler (Windstar Enterprises, Radiolab)

    I recently posted a video that was a lot different from a typical DTG video. In it, I show a... thing that someone sent me, and that sends me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what it is. Honestly, if you haven't seen the video, you should watch that first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfRSBEqueL8Today I'm bringing you my full conversation with Simon Adler - he's the creator of this project, and the Senior Producer of Radiolab. We talk not only about the unique packaging of this project, but the process of making the music, and the larger world around it.

    Kyle Chayka - Author, "Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture"

    Algorithms are a part of our everyday life, and they help us get more of what we want, right? Well, in Kyle Chayka’s new book he argues that this has flattened culture, making the popular things more popular, and the obscure things more obscure. I read his book “Filterworld” during my iPod experiment month. I was feeling frustrated with Spotify’s algorithm and decided to listen to music exclusively through an iPod for a month.I loved Kyle’s book so much that I had to reach out to talk to him more about it. A clip of this interview appeared in the first video of this iPod month series on Digging The Greats, but today I’m bringing you our full conversation. I loved getting to talk to Kyle, and especially loved his book as it hit the nail on the head. So here’s my full interview with Kyle Chayka, author of Filterworld: how algorithms flattened culture.

    Derrick Hodge (Bassist, Arranger, Composer)

    Derrick Hodge is a bass player, arranger, conductor, and he’s worked with a TON of huge artists, at the highest level possible. I recently posted a video on Digging The Greats breaking down Common’s album “Be” - Derrick played that bass intro on the album and arranged the strings you hear.Other artists he’s worked with: Robert Glasper, Jill Scott, Mos Def, The Juneteenth Celebration at the Hollywood Bowl, The Oscars, Q Tip, the list goes on and on. We talk about his work with all these artists, his approach to music in general, and his most recent album, The Color of Noize, and his current tour.We first connected a few years ago because he did arrangements for the orchestral performance of Nas’ Illmatic, playing bass on the original performance at the Kennedy Center. As a current member of Nas’ band, this is a show I’ve played many times since, so I sent Derrick a message a few years ago the first time I played it, and now here we are, nerding out about music and the bass… this was such a great conversation. Follow Derrick Online: https://derrickhodge.com/https://www.instagram.com/dhodgeworld/?hl=enhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/1jvBVqm4g5Jk8tEmKoYoes?si=WPL4WL-wTRat77RMlsFocg
