My guests this week are Brooklyn-via-Oakland producer August Fanon and Connecticut producer and musician Child Actor. We spoke about The Monkey, Severance, Return to Oz, The Little Mermaid, the works of David Lynch, their respective path through the worlds of indie rap and music at large, their styles and techniques, their live beat sets, and the creative process behind their debut collaborative beat tape Here and Here. Come fuck with us.

Here and Here is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping the album direct via Child Actor's Bandcamp. Follow August on Instagram and Twitter (@augustfanon) and connect with him via his Patreon. Follow Child Actor on Instagram and Twitter: @chldactr
