[hanDJob talks to] edk

For the first interview in 2012 we connected with producer EDK residing in Hollywood these days. Not sure how many of you ever heard of him or the Seeds Of Evolution so let the man speak for himself:

hanDJob: Please introduce yourself to the readers. What does EDK stand for and who are the Seeds Of Evolution?

EDK: EDK was formed in 1998 by twin brothers Jon Weiss aka Iceman and Scott Weiss aka Easy Andy. We teamed up with fellow producer/engineer Jack Horner in 2002 to form Nod Records. EDK has many different meanings. We‘ve been using it since 1998 and leave it up for interpretation. Seeds Of Evolution was an underground hip-hop group based out of Philadlphia, PA (USA) that consisted of Producers EDK and Rapper Shaun Abu.

hanDJob: Apart from maybe one site I haven’t found out much about your discography. Please let us know what you’ve done, especially in Hip Hop as well as your influences.

EDK: Of course our underground cult classic album Seeds of Evolution. We have also worked with Malik B of (The Legendary Roots Crew), we produced a track called „Different“ on Kool Keith‘s Mr. Nogatco „Nogatco Rd.“ album released on Insomniac Records in 2006. We have worked with many underground and indie rappers from all over. You can check out and download some of our back- catalog. We are influenced by any artists making good music.

hanDJob: What’s up with the full length S.O.E. album being available over at bandcamp.com? was that ever officially released on cd or even vinyl?

EDK: Yes. Both S.O.E. albums were released on 12“ vinyl and cd. They are very rare and hard to find these days. We may re-press both of them on 12“ vinyl again through Nod Records sometime in the near future. Stay Tuned...
