So I'm listening to Mary Ann Hobbes experimental show last night. As the intro comes on, and she starts introducing this weeks features, including how tonight's show would feature the youngest producer to ever be played in the program's history. My ears perked up a bit of course. How old could this producer be? sixteen?...maybe fifteen? Surely you couldn't get much younger than that and be putting stuff out that deserves air time on
RADIO 1 right?
Towards the middle of the show Mary Ann finally got around to this subject again and then stated,
"From Bristol...his name is Lucas, but he is better known as Majik. Only TEN years old..."
I did one of those half-laugh, half-snorts. Ten years old? I'm sure it's cute, but how good could this actually be? The music started playing, and I admit to being a bit shocked as I listened. Check out some of this for yourself:
Magik - Interceptor
Not bad. When you consider that he's only been alive for a decade though, it's incredible. I mean it's not perfect. The intro is a bit short and weird, but other than that, no major complaints. Apparently his dad is a producer of some sort, and he's just spent his last 2 years of free time in the studio every day. He's been learning and making his own tracks during that time. Very cool kid! From what was said after the song ended, they're going to be pumping his stuff pretty good on future shows as well.
The song that was played on the radio though, was actually called
Future Predator. You can hear it as it appeared on the show, with an intro from Hobbes and then his own spoken intro as well, on his myspace. His page also has quite a few other impressive songs he's done, not to mention some pictures of a 10 year old striking hard pose's.
