The Dan Digs Show 022: New John Talabot, Crazy P, Low Leaf, Snakehips, Quiet Dawn – Special Guest: Great Dane
Show number 22!
As always, the latest in my favorite new leftfield beats and electronic soul, plus interviews with my favorite artists, for your listening pleasure every Sunday night on Dash One at DashRadio.com.
This week we welcomed Los Angeles beat producer Great Dane to the studio to take us through the #SixSongScenario, where artists, DJs, and music aficionados tell the story behind their favorite tracks and explain what these songs mean to them.
We talked about driving from Fullerton to Low End Theory every week when he was in college, experimental music videos, the importance of a collective when you write music, and how singing in choirs when he was younger made him the producer he is today.
