Back in 2011, a beat tape/album was released by an unknown producer named Room E out of San Diego. Penguin Child was full of warm synths and skillfully chopped samples and turned out to be one of the year’s best. After sending the album to North Lodon DIY label Proper Songs, the label decided to pick up Room E and re-release the album. It is set for a May 14 release, but several songs can be previewed and the album can be pre-ordered. We spoke with Room E about a number of topics, including the San Diego hip hop scene, his studio and live set ups and his influences in the electronic music world. The San Diego producer was more than amiable and gave us some great insights into his production process, musical history and more. Find the full interview after the jump and look out for the proper release of Penguin Child on May 14.
