Ok so our weekly quest to interrogate our favorite producer continues and we will jump straight in and ask Stealf what’s been cracking this week
“Been a SLLLOOOWWW week this week. The bank holidays don’t help. It’s nice to have the time off, but everyone’s doing stuff so getting things moving this week has been tough.”
However Stealf’s idea of slow isn’t as slow as some might think as there is a certain matter of “The Artful Dodgers” EP to complete and a certain “I am stealf” album to polish up,
“It’s still a case of mastering and seeing how it sounds. I’ve heard a few more tracks, and the sound is getting there, still not quite right, but much closer than last week. Still gotta put this feature track together, but that’s gonna take a bit of time too. It’s at that stage where it feels like it’s just stopped, not even going slowly, but stopped. Before, where I had a more hands on part, everything was a rush, but now I’m the one waiting to get masters and new mixdowns and seems to be long.” He explained
“The album is in the same situation too. Mastering, listening and mastering again. Then…do it all over again. I’m probably being too picky, but it’s gotta be right in my eyes, or that hard work was for nothing cos you wont have the sound you want. The album is now on it’s third mastering, and it’s sounding a lot better. There really are only a few small changes needed now and then it’ll be ready for release. Nearly there, it’s only taken nearly 4 years.”
Next on the agenda we wanted our update on Stealf’s own artist selection and see what was happening:
“Parv’s Pot Of Gold track has gone down really well, the reception that’s got is amazing. It deserves it though, the track is really nice and the video is perfect, so people need to check that out if they haven’t already.” He explained ”Suus is ready to release a 4 track EP too. The Prototype EP is another project in the grips of mastering too, but that’s literally only just gone, so fingers crossed that’ll only need mastering once.”
Stealf also wanted to update us some upcoming projects,
“I’ve just confirmed a deal to produce another EP too, featuring my artist Parv and Coventry legend Kid Pest. There will be other features too, but this is still very early on, so that’s to be confirmed. But this promises to be a real underground EP.”
We also wanted to get Stealfs thoughts on another new EP thats just been agreed with Finebeats own Mr Flix, which will see a debut from an artist years in the making, but debuting for the Finebeats family under the guidance of Stealf. Flix told us how it came about ” To me it was inevitable, we had been working so closely with Stealf of late at Finebeats and i had sent Stealf some vocals that needed a bit of tweaking for another collaboration project, they came back how i wanted them and we started talking about getting something together, after a brief conversation we just figured ……..f**k it why wait”, we asked Stealf what he thought about the upcoing project ,
“I’m really excited to be working on this project with Mr Flix. It’s always good as a producer to break a new artist, and when you’re on the same page as that artist, then the result is bound to be something special. It’s definitely going to be one worth waiting for, just judging by the discussions we’ve had and the work taken place on the first track. It’s going to put Mr Flix out there in the best way possible.”
The EP is currently untitled but we will update as soon as more is confirmed.
