Step into the beat-laden universe of Matt.E.J, founder of Organic Beat Sessions, who brings the vibrant LA beat scene into your headphones with his journey from freestyling maestro to beat-making virtuoso. Our chat traverses the landscape of Matt.E.J's musical evolution, from the punk rock and hip-hop infused streets of South Bay to his current resonant projects "The Warm Up" album and "Kitty Funk." Each beat and bar reveals the intricacies of navigating collaborations and the pulsing heart of live performances, offering an intimate look into the life of a creator deeply embedded in the culture.

Our sonic exploration doesn't stop at the artist's tale; it's about the essence of music creation itself. Matt.e.j peels back the curtain on the production process, sharing indispensable nuggets for up-and-comers, from the seduction of gear acquisition to the alchemy of turning a four-bar loop into a full track. Listeners get a rare peek into the communal spirit of beat-making, where shared samples and late-night sessions with fellow artists ignite the spark of inspiration, showing that the journey of a Beatmaker is never a solo ride.

As the rhythm winds down, we pay homage to the San Pedro community and the support systems that keep the music playing. Balancing the rigors of daily life with the pursuit of passion, Matt.e.j's story is a testament to the unwavering dedication it takes to craft the beats that make our world turn. So tune in and let the rhythm take you—this is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to the pulse of the beat-making community.
