My guest this week is Lowell, MA producer, engineer, and DJ DeevoDaGenius. We spoke about Avatar: Fire & Ash, the X-Men, video game movies, the Scary Movie franchise, icons of Black cinema, being inspired to DJ by Juice, building his own studio from scratch, his production workflow, finding his sound, his chemistry with BlueHillBill and Kil The Artist, and the creative process behind their last two albums Bleu Magic and Angels With Filthy Souls, and his latest solo release, Deevo Type III. Come fuck with us.

Bleu Magic, Angels With Filthy Souls, and Deevo Type III are all available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping the digital deluxe and physical editions of all three albums via E11evation Records. Follow Deevo on Instagram and Twitter: @deevodagenius
