Today, the Spotlight is On Gabriel Jacob Luansing, who produces music under the name mr. master. 

For over six years, Gabriel has been working on an ever-expanding experimental hip-hop project called ‘ultra,’ which, as of this recording, currently spans 138 songs, clocking over six hours of music. 

‘ultra’ is a project meant to be dived deep into, and we do, discussing the intention and aims of the project, artistic identity and much more.

We would like to encourage listeners to spend some time with even a small part of ‘ultra’ before listening to this discussion — ideally on shuffle. You’ll find a a link to the project in the show notes below. 

Please enjoy ‘ultra’ and our discussion with Gabriel Jacob Luansing, a/k/a mr. master.
