Hey what’s up bro welcome to Nefarious Supply! So to get this interview started to tell us about yourself who are Los Audio Kimikos?
First, thank you for having us, we greatly appreciate your support! Los Audio Kimikos is a producer group consisting of Liby & Kiko.
What got you into making music, and why has it become your passion?
We both grew up in Dominican households where music was fundamental. Music was always playing, whether to clean the house or for a party, music is very important in our culture.
Where are you from and how has this area influenced you and your music?
We are born and raised in Montreal, Canada. It’s an island with many nationalities so we take a little bit from everywhere.
So every artist has their influences when it comes to their overall style of music so my question to you is who, or what has influenced you guys and how have they done so?
We are influenced a lot by our Dominican backgrounds, which is why we started mainly producing reggaeton. It is also a genre we listened to a lot growing up. We also listened to a lot of hip hop and R&B which also adds to our sauce.
Okay so let's talk music so you recently just dropped your newest EP, “Late Nights & 808s” tell us about the album, what inspired it?
This EP was inspired mainly because I went through a rough part of my life where I would leave the studio late and just be thinking about my life and situations I was going through. Around that time I came across an R&B playlist on Spotify and the vibe was crazy. I brought up the idea of doing an all English R&B EP to Liby and to my surprise, he was more than supportive. It was a shot in the dark because we usually produce songs for the Latino market.
So you pretty much have a packed album with some amazing features including 7onestarr, Cruzito, Aaron Knight, HRTBRKFEVER, FRVRFRIDAY, and Ralph Larenzo. How’d you get them on the album and how was the experience working with them for the album?
I hit them up with the idea of the EP and the theme and they were all super down with it. Working with each of them was dope as fuck, they each killed their song and really stuck to the theme. We are forever grateful for each of them and the support they gave us.
What are some important facts that we should know about “ Late Nights & 808s”?
All the instrumentals were produced by Liby and myself, no loops, no samples or anything like that. They were also all produced late at night in the studio. We also did all the mixing of the beats and we mastered the EP. We legit went through 10 mixed versions of each song and about 7 mastered versions of each song, clearly, we were very picky and wanted the best.
Any visuals coming?
As of right now, we filmed some visuals for each track that are currently on our YouTube channel. As far as official videos, we aren’t sure yet.
So what’s next for you as far as 2020, what can we expect from you guys?
For 2020, we plan on releasing more singles and maybe another EP. We already have a bunch of songs in the vault ready.
Any last words?
We want to thank you again for this opportunity, it means a lot to us, y’all killing it fr. We also want to thank everyone for the love and support that we received for the EP, which motivates us to keep making music.
