[Video] Kyle Hall Hustles Harder

A little while back Alex from On Point stayed at mine in London one night after missing his train back to Brussels. In the morning we got some food and discussed this and that somehow ending up chatting about Kyle Hall, I think because he’d just played the week before in London alongside Floating Points and I’d briefly met him at a chat Kode 9 gave for the Wire that same week. That’s when Alex brought up the fact he’d done an interview with him in 2009 when he’d spent the summer in NYC. Being a fan of Alex’s video interviews I was curious to see it. A few weeks later he put it online but I slept on it until a tweet from Alex reminded me to check for it.

So here it is, a lengthy and entertaining chat with a seriously gifted young producer who at barely 19 years of age (I think) is obviously showing a serious potential for the future. I think the interview brings across Kyle’s youthful enthusiasm and passion really well, something I picked up on during my brief chat with him when he was in town.

I haven’t aired a lot of Kyle’s stuff on the show up till now but I’ve been really getting into it more in recent months as I’ve discovered his music through recommendations and others and so I’m gonna try and do a little feature on him next month. In the meantime enjoy this great little interview and be sure to check Alex’s original post for a link to Kyle’s set from the party he played at in NYC last summer. Oh and if you haven’t checked his other videos than fix up, some great ones including Flying Lotus, Dorian Concept, Mayer Hawthorne and Dam Funk among others.
