BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the #PeterAgoston interview session! We’re on our behind the scenes, marathon ish this week in the form of a 2 hour interview with the man behind Culturama, Female Fun Records, MF Doom’s Special Herbs & Spices and current manager for Dam Funk. We cut straight to the chase from jump and discuss his recent harrowing, near-death experience from kidney failure, his eventual transplant via the paired kidney exchange program and how the experience brought him full circle work for himself in the form the Agoston Agency. PA’s hip-hop roots run deep, as we discuss his being exposed to hip-hop at a very early age growing up in Blacksburg, VA, having a college radio show at Virginia Tech in high school (!) and one of his early mentors, one Dumi Right from Zimbabwe Legit. If that’s not enough we get into Peter’s summer working with Ed Wong @ Sandbox Automatic during it’s early days, his move into film and the ground breaking, forward thinking Culturama video series and how he transitioned into starting his own label, Female Fun Records. Never ones to get stuck in the past, we talk the Agoston Agency’s impressive roster, which includes People Under the Stairs, Will Sessions and Dam Funk to name a few, and what we can expect from Dam in 2016 and beyond. There’s loads more but you’ll have to tune in to hear what else this weeks session has in store. Make it a point to pick up Dam’s DJ Kicks mix on May 27th, it’s sure to be a BBQ pleaser this Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer. Last but not least, never forget that we ALWAYS bring you that #smithsonian #grade! // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #dj #mix #interview #podcast #ATL #BLACKSBURG #WORLDWIDE
