Magic moments with Paul Epworth, Arlo Parks, Dave Okumu and 100 gecs
Super-producer Paul Epworth speaks to 100 gecs, Arlo Parks and The Invisible's Dave Okumu about working with analogue equipment in a digital world.
If you donβt know Paul Epworthβs name, youβll certainly know his music, as heβs produced for the likes of Adele, Florence and the Machine and Rihanna. He asks 100 gecs, Arlo Parks and Dave Okumu about working with analogue equipment in a digital world, studio disasters, ideas that evaporate as they take too long to capture, and the difference between making your own music as opposed to making it for other people.
Futuristic pop duo 100 gecs's debut album, 1000 gecs, captivated fans all over the world, including Charli XCX, Rico Nasty and Fall Out Boy, and theyβve been described as a βbrain-melting, genre-crushing vision of popβs futureβ. Arlo Parks is a 20-year-old musician and poet who is one of the most exciting artists coming out of London right now. She is redefining intelligent pop-soul with her thoughtful, confessional music that has seen her described as "the voice of Generation Z". And Dave Okumu is a producer and songwriter, known for fronting the Mercury Prize-nominated band The Invisible. He is one of the most sought-after collaborators in music, having worked with Adele, Amy Winehouse, Yoko Ono, King Sunny Ade, Radioheadβs Ed OβBrien, and Tony Allen.
