James Ferraro, one of underground culture’s most creative minds, has had an extraordinary career, which spans more albums and collaborations than there are hours in the day. With a sound that leans from the jet-black slow rap of The Bodyguard to the digital hyper-reality of Far Side Virtual to the tape his of The Skaters, it’s a wonderfully full range of sonics and ideas that the LA-based musician has in his head. Happily, someone has compiled and explained them in a handy place, and even more happily, that person is James himself, in this great chat with Red Bull Music Academy.
