I’m surprised to learn that this weathering process takes place within popular digital audio workstation FL Studio – the same software that rapper Soulja Boy used to write his smash hit ‘Crank Dat’ and producer Young Chop used to create Chief Keef’s breakout single ‘I Don’t Like’. “People often ask, ‘how the hell do you get that kind of outcome from FL Studio with the step sequencer?’ Well,” he says mischievously, “I don’t actually use the step sequencer, that’s how.” Peryman simply uses the software as a pad to scribble out sketches until they grow into something more developed, manipulating a library of “ethical” samples into a thick fog of harmonic noise. “I don’t really care about cheesiness or taste or anything like that. I use a lot of samples in the process, whether they’re my own or from elsewhere.”
