Exclusive Interview with "Twisted Region"
LatinoHiphop.Org:
If there is one lesson that you can share with a young up and coming artist, what would it be?
Twisted Region:
Always believe in your self, love what you do and never give up.
LatinoHiphop.Org:
Where do you see the music industry 5 years from now?
Twisted Region:
In 5 years: it'll still be a battle between the old corporate structure and how easy it is to distribute now via internet.
What exactly does a label have to offer now? They have the promotion machine that an independent artist doesn't have, but what does an independent artist have to commit to in order to get that?
Before napster —before the possibility of any artist getting any distribution without a major label— you needed to get signed if you were going to get your music out beyond your city. Now you don't need a major label to do that.
What I see happening now and what i see growing in the next five years, is more real-music.
It won't be something primped & preened & presented by some major label as "the next big thing!"
It will simply be music. Music that people will listen to. Music that people want to listen to not because "somebody" is telling them "this music rocks!" but because — without influence — someone decided to listen to a song and actually liked it because of the song alone; not because someone told them they had to like it.
In the next five years? I expect, I guarantee that the music produced will be more genuine and more true as an art form.
LatinoHiphop.Org:
How do you go about recording, promoting and releasing your music
Twisted Region:
We record live at The Containment Unit, in our home grown lab 'Ground Zero', which is run by us.
As far as promoting we use the internet. We are out there physically promoting ourselves. The radio. Just being involved.
We go about releasing our music by the internet, specifically cdbaby.com. At our events.
Ma and pa shops, amoeba even out the trunk of our cars.
LatinoHiphop.Org:
What are you currently working on?
Twisted Region:
In 2010 We are going to independently be releasing our english album entitled "Stuck In Traffic". Look out for our music video "Fresh". Check us out at http://youtube.com/

Exclusive Interview with producer "Dego Brown"
LatinoHiphop.Org
What equipment do you use to produce?
Dego Brown
I use Fruity Loops and Reason, but it's not what you use it's how you like your music to sound. You can make a hit on any program.
LatinoHiphop.Org
Do you think that there is any difference in the way that a producer listens to a track compared to how an MC listens to a track?
Dego Brown
Yeah I do because they don't hear what the producer hears. The nuances in the sounds. The way the hi hats flow and different things like that. When I make a beat it's like making a meal, you need the right amount of ingredients to make the perfect dish.
LatinoHiphop.Org
As a producer and businessman how do you use the internet to your benefit?
Dego Brown
Well I have my own website now DegoBrown.com so everything I do I promote through there and it has a big effect on the type of people that come through to listen to my music. I always used the internet whether it be Myspace, Facebook or YouTube. It helps me reach the people I would never been able to reach other wise.
LatinoHiphop.Org
What are some of the projects you are currently working on?
Dego Brown
Well I'm from the U.K. so I'm working with U.K. artist's at the moment. I'm working on alot of mixtapes and a couple album from artist's like Ka Koke, Skwilla, Goodfellas, D-Fam, So Solids Face, Stylah, Jaja Soze, P.D.C. , Squeeze for P's, Industreets and I have a mixtape out in Philadelphia, PA in the U.S.A. with some cats called the Mightyonez.
LatinoHiphop.Org
What is the best way for artist's to contact you if they are interested in purchasing a track?
Dego Brown
Just hit me up via email: dego100@hotmail.com and to hear my work you can find it at www.degobrown.com, www.myspace.com/degobrown, www.youtube.com/degobrown1
