Episode 14: Ujstin Echno is the project name of Justin Enoch, musician and post-production sound editor at large, residing in Los Angeles. We discuss our long friendship built in St. Louis, the mid-fi genius of Broken Social Scene, how going mental in a cubicle can be extremely productive, the day they knew that nothing mattered ever again (positive) outside a rave boat in Prague, the role of Prince's unlistenable yet amazing work of the 90's/ early 00's, and the brutal yet life-fulfilling process of creating work you want to return to.
Little Funky Son was released on Reserve Matinee on October 30th, available here.

"Little Funky Son, the new album from multidisciplinary musician Ujstin Echno, mosaics together the artist's life experiences across countries, years, genres, and friendships. Born in Nagyvárad, Romania, raised in Ferguson, Missouri, and now residing in Los Angeles, Echno's body of work is the final result of a series of catalysts – the desire to spotlight Eastern European musicians through their years-long Radio Benska show, their day job as a post-production sound editor in film,
adolescent hours spent driving around St. Louis listening to R&B radio, and all of the ephemera in between."
