🎧 The Real Jel? SP-1200s, Anticon, & a Themselves Comeback? | The DOD45 Show (Series 4 Re-Release!)

💀 Spotify tried to erase us, but we’re BACK. They pulled some absolute corporate clownery and terminated The DOD45 Show podcast account, but jokes on them—now we’re re-releasing EVERY episode (2+ a day until we’re fully restored!) This one originally aired Dec. 7, 2022, in Series 4—the season where we had things pretty much figured out. The pacing was tight, the format was solid, and we even had that crispy Mr. Dibbs-produced theme music—but looking back from beyond Series 7, we still had some room to level up. 🔥 In this episode, Tai & Adrienne sit down with producer, rapper, beatmaker & Anticon legend JEL—for his FIRST-EVER podcast appearance. They chop it up about: 💎 His Glass Cutters vinyl release on AudioRecon Records 🎛️ Cooking beats on vintage SP-1200s like a true sample scientist 🎤 His creative process working with rappers & the golden era of underground hip-hop 🌆 Minneapolis love + debating Jeff Goldblum vs. DJ Jazzy Jeff 👀 Jel’s bold theory: Is Jeff Dunham secretly a serial killer? 🌿 Cannabis cloning & artist publishing rights—a weird but fitting combo 🎭 A mysterious guest claiming to be "The Real Jel" crashes the show?! 🚨 Big news dropped: Jel hinted at a new Themselves project & maybe even a fresh 13 & God release. You already know that would be insane. 💡 Did you know? Jel was an early pioneer of live MPC finger-drumming and turned it into an art form long before it became a YouTube flex. His work with Anticon, Themselves, and Subtle influenced an entire generation of experimental hip-hop artists. 😵 And if that’s not enough, we also talk about: 🕵️ The Milli Vanilli scandal & fake industry plants 📺 The 1980s cyber-weirdo Max Headroom 🙄 A very brief mention of Ye—because, honestly, why waste the breath? 🎨 Tai even draws Jel’s dog, Boots, during the episode. (Yes, this happened.) 🔥 Want more Jel? 🎧 Bandcamp | 🎵 Spotify | 📷 Instagram 🎶 Theme music by Mr. Dibbs 🎨 More from Tai: ArtByTai.com 🎤 More DOD45: DOD45.com 💥 SUBSCRIBE, REVIEW & SHARE—because Spotify tried to bury us, and we’re not letting that happen.Let’s show ‘em what’s up. 💪🔥 #DOD45 #PodcastReRelease #Anticon #Jel #SP1200 #HipHopCulture #ArtByTai
