Inter-Album Interview: Steve "Extrakd" Freeman

from Primus Tracks · host Josh, Frankie, & Soya

We are thrilled to speak with Soya and Steve Freeman, aka Extrakd, who has created loads of diverse music over the years with the likes of Brain, Disk, Mirv, Ler, and Buckethead. We tread some of the history and releases from the 90s and 00s, but hone in on Mars Mechanics, which has a new album titled In Through The Drive Through. The record is primarily arranged and performed by Steve, Brain, and Mirv with guest turns from Skerik and Ler. Each Mars Mechanics release has its own musical theme; the latest has a 1970s Miles Davis foundation, and the outcome is a high-energy dose of unmistakable majesty. Plus, Steve tells us about some projects that have yet to be made public, and may hold the key to understanding the tornado of urine (details in episode). Tracks sampled in episode, in chronological order:Its Brain (Mars Mechanics)Technology Doctor (MIRV)Darkside Whiplash (El Stew)Surf Mission (El Stew)B-boy Showcase (El Stew)The John Rocker Redemption Clause (No Forcefield)Claudius The God (No Forcefield)9a (Mars Mechanics)Gonzography (Mars Mechanics)Don't Bite Contradiction Bomb (Gonervill)Find Mars Mechanics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mars_mechanics/Mars Mechanics MusicYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXl_huq832S_MOC4OoCzgPwSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3sZiGJ55DnYXBpoBwYTqKEApple: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mars-mechanics/1468632210Mars Mechanics Merch: https://mdpe.shop/collections/marsmechanicsEl Stew - No Hesitation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y415bfxzoNcNo Forcefield - Lee's Oriental Massage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZqCqfViCugNo Forcefield - God is an Excuse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7-bbaQUS04Marsupial's Belly Flop Breaks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4NQyZoYmj0PhonosycographDISK Live at Slim's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAKc2PAOkxk&t=7sLom.Get involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money
