Regular readers know that I'm partial to Lanzo's trippy cocktail of jazzy samples, rugged drums, warm bass lines and quirky humour. His 2012 debut EP 'Suspension of Consciousness' is a favourite of mine.
A major part of Chicago's beat scene, Lanzo works at a prodigious rate: knocking out solo tracks and collaborations with pals including Norman and his Young Ho Collective brethren.

With his latest EP 'Burn Better Trunks' due April 20, The New Beat Maker caught up with the man himself to talk influences and the creative process.

TNBM: When and how did you get into beatmaking? Who were your early influences?

Lanzo: I’ve been into hip hop since middle school. I listened to a lot of Eminem, Mobb Deep, & J Dilla. I started engineering for other people, then eventually one of my homies convinced me to jump on the mic. From then on I balanced skating, Playstation & music. The instrumentals started coming in 2007. (Solomon Vaughn aka Boonie Mayfield aka) BoonDoc convinced me to buy an MPC. As soon as I saw his ‘BoonDoc on the MPC’ videos on youtube, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Definitely peep those videos if you have the time. Dude KILLS the 1k (MPC 1000).

BoonDoc convinced me to buy an MPC. As soon as I saw his ‘BoonDoc on the MPC’ videos on youtube, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Definitely peep those videos if you have the time. Dude KILLS the 1k

TNBM: How has your set-up changed since you first started out, if it has?

Lanzo: I was chopping wax on a MPC 1k & layering sounds over my beats with a Microkorg, then recording it straight into Sony Acid Pro with a cheap little interface.

Now, I primarily use MPC 1k, SP404, Ableton and some vintage gear for that analogue sound. I just recently copped a reel to reel. Shit sounds madd proper. I don't limit myself when it comes to equipment. I love when homies bring over new gear.
