Speaking with Chris Sims… “Loyalty Is Everything”

Over the past few weeks I’ve gotten the chance to get to know an interesting cat from California, discovering himself and his musical roots in Midland Michigan, continuing to grow personally and musically, figuring out what he wants from his life and music.

While chatting with him and getting to know him a little more personal than his twitter feed, I’ve gotten to understand his job, healthy eating habits and background, and was able to actually get a chance to see a glimpse of the many different sides that encompass who exactly Chris Sims is.

Finding inspiration early from artist such as Timbo and Aayliah however evolving drawing inspiration from ‘meditation’ style music to even some alternative, following the likes of 9th wonder beats and Quest. He discovered he can turn his writing passion into a musical passion, taking encouragement from friends and now working along side of names already featured on L3GACI such as ‘Diverse’ and ‘Shade Cobain’ he only continues to grow his network. Growing his network, growing his music, growing himself.

Modest as they come, we at L3GACI have high hopes for his musical career. Only a short three years in the making still showing growth of those who have been in the game for a years. Lets take a look at Chris Sims words to discover more on his music, if you don’t know his words now, you will soon. Truly a L3GACI in the Making.

Coming from California to Michigan, how has that shaped your musical experience?

   Well i moved out of my moms at 18, and i had no musical ability yet.. my journey actually started in a small middle class town knows as Midland MI, 


What first caused you to get into the musical scene?

It was kind of random actually, i was 18 years old, it was my senior year of high school. English Class was 5 th period. i would keep poetry in my planner.. and one day a friend of mine saw what i had wrote.. he told me “You should rap this, My friend has a studio.” I was quite hesitant but went to see what it was all about.. I always had headphones in though Lauren, Music was my go too when i was feeling happy, sad, angry… i already had a passion for it.. but making my own was a whole new experience. It really was love at first mic.  

Who has been a role model for you on your journey?

Well, when i first started the first Hip hop artist i talked to was “Diverse” he had making music like… 3-4 years already.. and i wasn’t even at 1 yet. we grew really close as artist and as friends.. so the respect and loyalty we have for each other is remarkable. 21, my In house Producer and Very close friend..more like a brother actually.. he played a huge role in creating my range as far as hip hop goes with certain sounds..and drum patterns.. he would push me to the edge 95% of the time.. we have been working for almost 3 years now.. so he knows what i like.. sometimes he re-sends some of the same beats i wasn’t feeling earlier that year..and suddenly i would be all for it.. so he’s another big role in my growth as an artist. 

Now as of lately, i have added a few member so that roster.. someone that im building a strong bond with musically is an artist by the name of Yung Plus Anotha, out North Carolina. The dude is completely opposite of me.. you can tell he’s being himself on and off the mic.. realest artist i have met. He taught me a few things listening to his music.. as far as being comfortable in my own skin and just doing whatever the hell i feel as right on the mic.. and it works every time. the song that got changed my view as an artist was “It’s Real” it was the story of my life.. he say’s “Smartin up yung’n.. don’t let em simply you..get ya own identity & let’m recognize you.” There is a method to his madness.. and i plan to work heavy with him as well.. we motivate one another when it’s time to crank out the music.. “Loyalty Is Everything

 Any influences that stick out in your mind and inspired you to pursue your music farther?

well, i listened to a lot smooth shit, Hip hop of course..but that was when Timbo, Aayliah, Busta Rymes, Dmx, EVE, Jagged Edge, Joe, Boys 2 Men, BONE THUGS played a huge roll as far as my sound when i play my slower songs.. that people like to vibe to. I hope you don’t hate me when i say this but i was never a Biggi or Pac fan.. my mother never listened to them.. so my influences are somewhat different.. As i got older i started listening to Tribe called quest.. a lot of 9th wonder beats… I listen to meditation music now, umm.. some Alternative.. I really feeling Cold Play.. lol and the honestly the people that push me most are the ones i work closely with now..  
” i make music that symbolizing the moments we live”

 Like other artist featured on L3GACI you have a style seeming to have a need to draw emotions from listeners, what do you hope your listeners to gain from your music?

Well i want them to know a variety of things.. the biggest would be to really try to find yourself. The question i was searching for, for so long was.. “Who Am I as a person?”  Through my music if you listen to most of my songs im going through life and putting my current emotions of experiences i was going through at that specific time. I want people to have fun.. i love to discuss my involvement with woman.. and make music about a few scenario’s i’v bared witness too. “Retrospecz” was kind of that variety when it came down to figuring out a sound and what my over all goal is an artist is. Im being myself and clearly that’s working.. so i plan to continue spilling my heart out some nights & having fun on other nights.. music is meant to hit a variety of feelings and emotions.. so that’s why i love to have variety on each project. 

 What do you bring to the table that sets your music apart from other artist?

Not worried about anybody above me..  Just in my bracket and who i see as my competition..  I think 1 thing that sets me apart is that I’m so indecisive in life.. and it helps my music. Currently in college and don’t know if i want to finish.. theirs always doubts, like every human being.. i see the world as a cruel place sometimes. Im a bit of a pessimist or realist. And i think that all comes out in my music as well… All of those things come out in my music. So i guess me being myself is what makes me stand apart from other artist.. theirs only one of me.. that should be a good enough reason.. Listen to what i say.. listen to my stories.. you will know who Chris Sims is…i promise.   

 I see you’re working with producers such as Shade Cobain, already featured on L3GACI, how has that experience been so far, and who else in the future do you wish to work with?

 Shade Cobain is a very talented human.. everytime i BBM ( Black Berry Messenger ), he’s busy in the lab just vibing out to his work.. i love his sound.. his beats bring truth & some inner since of reality to my music. Im just trying to really wait for the right moment to make new music with him.. We need each others full attention to progress.. nothing can get in the way of his drive.. very talented.   
As far as working with other producers..  trying to lock in “Sunny Norway” outta Chicago… 9th Wonder some day…  My Producer 21.. he’ brings the best outta me. Now artist im in the works with are Hope Wright, Chez Chit, those are two worth looking to collab with on a real personal level for this LP that is in the works.

 
What journey has your music been able to take you on?

  It’s taking me on a journey of patience. This journey is full of stress, excitement, love, anger & frustration. My music has shaped me as the man that stand here before you today.. i don’t ask for much.. i know my priorities. I put the ones i love first and my music lol.. Im also less distracted as well.. i know what im good at. Musics also taught me to set goals for myself.. as an artist and in life… The journey continues. 


 As I’m typing this I’m listening to your mix tape, (currently playing on repeat, 2nd Sun) Retrospectz Mixtape, what has been your favorite part of creating that mix tape?

  Actually there that was probably my most stressful body of work… but my favorite part of have to be just me in my studio alone..playing the whole thing from beginning to end for the very first time.. it was my body of work.. something i put time & energy into. couldn’t believe it. Only after 3 years of doing music.. I get so much praise on some songs.. I love that Mixtape so much.

 Can we expect an LP or any songs avialble for purchase soon?

 YES! “Light It Up” is available on DJBooth.Net its the first look off my LP.. Title TBA. im working hard and you should expect some promotions by Fall.  

  What are your plans for the future with your music, how far do you wish to see it go?

  Honestly I don’t think about it.. Im a private, some what of a quiet guy off the mic.. i live a simple balanced life.. so all the craziness and hype as far as being famous goes.. I have yet to experience and however far my music goes.. I just plan to stick to my lifestyle and live peacefully.

 As we always ask, What L3GACI do you wish to leave behind?

   Well i expect my music to be my legacy.. The journey itself.. the understanding of who i am and what i have to offer as an artist and individual. i want to be remembered for all the hearts i touch.. all the smiles i bring.. and the excitement my music creates..i want to be remembered for making music that did all of those things..  

 How is your music Creating, Evolving, Inspiring society?


   I can def say our generation has more awareness of the world we live in today.. as a society, i guess it depends on what type of listener I’m attracting. On and off the mic I’m more of an intellectual thinker.. so i hope that my music makes people take the time to stop and think about certain things in their lives.. & in life in general. The fun aspect of our society is they are just as carefree.. so i make music that symbolizing the moments we live
” i guess me being myself is what makes me stand apart from other artist.. theirs only one of me.. that should be a good enough reason.. Listen to what i say.. listen to my stories.. you will know who Chris Sims is…i promise.”   

Having an “LP Focused” mind Chris is on the move. Staying on track he’s dedicated to dropping his first LP this fall. Already having “Light it Up” out for a listen and with his mix tape “Retrospecz” getting some buzz, his work is catching on. Getting noticed for all the right reasons and creating music for all the right reasons, like many artist featured on L3GACI, his music portrays a journey of many emotions that all can relate to.

Capturing these moments in time there is more to come from this up and coming artist. We see no limits other than that of what society sets and from our interactions with Chris, we’re learning he has the mind set to over come those. A mixture of pushing himself while keeping his cool, it makes for some interesting beats. Make sure to keep in touch with this L3GACI, for there are things to come… expecting his LP to hit this fall make sure to keep up on his social feed… you won’t want to miss this one.

In Rhythm with Dj Moppy

After networking with Chris Thomopoulos, better known as Dj Moppy these past few weeks, we were finally able to have an interview with him. Coming from chicago we discovered more of this unique artist, from his intriguing name to what his inspirations are, from his family influences to what he hopes his music can accomplish. We had a chance to expose the inner workings of this charismatic DJ, with a good attitude of “You do You and I do Me”, this down to earth gentlemen is on a goal to move listeners while constantly shaping his craft.

With each and every track he creates, the goal each time is to reach the soul of the listener. Crossing the genres of music to do just that, drawing inspiration from his family, listening to the “MTV” Genre. Pulling from Madonna to Def Leopard, even a little Bon Jovi, from Guns & Roses to Salt & Peppa . Later discovering more of the skate scene with Sublime, Grateful Dead, and Nirvana to Phish, Gang Starr, Dilated Peoples, and DJ Premier, when he finally got his hand on a turn table it was a wrap for him.


“Perfecting your process. However you do your thing.. Make it as awesome as possible.”

Now working with his crew Cutz on Cuts on Ustream he’s constantly practicing and honing in on his skills to bring fresh talent to the music scene. Wanting people to see music as not a popularity contest, but as emotions. Causing rhythm and movement, whether one is at a club or chilling at home. It’s all about the emotions.

Hoping to take underground music to the next level and make his mark on Chicago, he’s making noise to draw attention back onto a scene that should never been taken for granted or forgotten. Keeping real music alive, take a look at DJ Moppy’s words and become inspired to do what makes you happy, he’s producing a L3GACI, are you?

Dj Moppy, I always have the most random images come to mind with that name, What can you tell us about your name?

Haha.. Gladly.. My last name Thomopoulos.. “Son of Tom” in Greek.. I had some Moppy hair growing up.. (I can send you some pics that might make some people laugh, let me know?) A sister’s friend called me Tha Mop when I was in 5th grade… so 10 yrs old? I don’t even know where it got to Moppy, im sure natural progression of a name.. It has had so many variations I can’t even begin to tell you but for example.. Mopzilla, Moopy, Mopple -Titties, Moppenstein, Moe, MP…etc etc.. not as quite elusive a name as my Cutz On Cuts crew member Shazam Bangles .. But it gets a reaction out of people.. I think thats important in Entertainment..

After listening to your tracks, the team tries to define your style, but we can’t, what can you possibly define it as?

Awesome! I appreciate that! .. The one thing I try to touch on for each production is SOUL. Make the music come out of my soul.. Some times I am not happy with the product I am getting and keep working on it until it has that thing about that makes me feel good inside.. Thats when it starts to come together. I work with different genres because I like to listen to different genres, I think its as simple as that. As a DJ I try to cross genre bounderies so why not produce music from different genres.. I think thats the best way to become a great producer .. See things from different angles.

What have been your influences to bring you where you are today?

My mother likes to tell me I’m a great listener. I think that is my greatest influence. She has always had my back when I wanted to do something unique or different. My parents and Family did a great job they are all influences on me. I was the youngest in my family and when I was born in 1983 I had three older sisters ages 6, 15, & 17 .. I’ve been influenced heavily by them early on. I remember alot of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Def Leopard, Bon Jovi, U2, Guns & Roses, Run DMC, Salt & Peppa etc.. MTV music.. In 6th Grade Skateboarding took over my life. That introduced me to groups like Sublime, Grateful Dead, Nirvana, Phish, Gang Starr, Dilated Peoples, Pharcyde, DJ Premier, Rawkus Records etc etc.. Around 5 years later (2000) I touched my first turntables.. I was instantly jealous of that dude who owned those! I worked my ass off washing dishes and cutting fish at a local fish market to buy a “DJ in a BOX” setup.. (two turntables, a mixer, headphones, needles) all ready to go in one box for a reasonable price.. I went into a long spell of just wanting to scratch and being amazed at that alone. Hip Hop became pretty much the only musical influence for me till around 2006.. From than on its been learning about breaks and what Hip Hop Music sampled from my boy MTM and his crew the analog addicts, Picking up on House Music and what influenced Chicago House Music thanks to Yazi & DIZ & Jevon Jackson & Frique and even my Girl CK.


“We need artists that respect the past and want to bring the same integrity to the music as the musicians in the past did. If WE get on and make some noise in the underground and mainstream. We would show love back to the true heads that have been keeping real music alive in our society.”

Now I am influecned by my homies in my crew Cutz On Cuts (Shazam Bangles & RTST), Raj Mahal, Tensei, Push Beats, Abyss, Zainghis, Cos, they are on some next level Future Instrumental Downtempo yet Uptempo Beats… To some it up Influences keep stacking up from old to new creating an enormous list. Whoa sorry I had to go off like that that question was really open though..

How do you constantly continue to shape your craft?

I try to take my inspiration and be able to bring it out at any time. whether on the turntables or producing its a never ending journey to learn. I usually come up with my techniques by accident or watching someone else. So after I try that thing on purpose I can start practicing it and putting my touches on it. Thats what I think it is about.. Perfecting your process. However you do your thing.. Make it as awesome as possible.

“I think alot of people overlook how great of a situation they might be in and don’t respect their Journey”

So far what has been your favorite track to produce?

hmmmm.. I think I was in a zone when I made that Without Love Beat.. I’ve been in and out of production for years with DJing always been my steady focus. I took about 4 years off of producing to study DJing and music. I think when that beat finally came together it brought me back to the reason I started loving Music. It was just so warm and comforting like the first time I played out for a crowd that truly loved me for what I was doing. Just in the pocket grooving not having a care in the world as long as the music is good and the people are dancing. Thats what it made me feel like when I was making that one! .. & even when I listen to it now.

Where has you journey taken you on?

I think the best Journey I could have imagined! Life is truly amazing and I am so lucky to have the influences I have had to get me to where I am. I think alot of people overlook how great of a situation they might be in and don’t respect their Journey; And disregard the possibility that if they start something new or change something negative about them today it can change the future forever.

Any artist in the future you wish to work with?

I would love to work with Each and Every Great artist in the past. From Quincy Jones to Q-Bert. I have a progressive mind and like to think its all a possibility as long as I come through on my end and bring something great to the table.

I also hope to find and work with countless Up & Coming producers, Djs, Musicians, Singers.. I think we are in desperate need for some new blood in the music industry. Not only for our future but for past as well. We need artists that respect the past and want to bring the same integrity to the music as the musicians in the past did. If WE get on and make some noise in the underground and mainstream. We would show love back to the true heads that have been keeping real music alive in our society.


“People forgot what entertainment is supposed to be. Its not a popularity contest.. Its emotion.”

What do you hope listeners to gain from your music?

Some type of emotional gain.. Whether it makes them think of dancing in the club or hanging with their mom.. I try to put emotion into the music I put out and thats all I can ask back of the listener. Some don’t feel it and that is fine. You do you I do me.

What can you begin to define as your L3GACI

My L3GACI is where I came from, Where I’m at now, & Where I’m going…

How do you hope your music to “Create Inspire and Evolve” Society.

You said it BEST! “Create Inspire and Evolve” .. I hope we can bring Cutz On Cuts and keyboardists, and percussionist, and Pop & Lockers, Breakers, Ballerinas & Light OH MY!.. Make it like a musical circus.. As long as it is in Rhythm it can work! People forgot what entertainment is supposed to be. Its not a popularity contest.. Its emotion.

thank you again for your time and can’t wait for your responses.

thank you, Can’t wait for the article!

Mixing with… We are Tokyo

Discovering this over seas talent, “We are Tokyo”Composed of Alex Fox on Synth/Bass & Vocals, Tom Vincer on Synths & Bvox, John Millichip on Guitars and
Tom Wheeler on Drums/Samples, Lageegee couldn’t keep quite on this new favorite. Striking resemblance to fellow UK bands such as “The Editors” and “Bloc Party” this on the rise group is making sound waves. Looking to break away from the “norm” and push boundaries, hence the name “We are Tokyo”, discussed more in their interview, does just so.
Making efforts to lyrically be inclined and hone in on their “sound”, constantly developing and looking for new approaches to create something meaningful and stir the dance floor. A unique mixture of indie pop and synth beats with their custom take on rock, they create a sound of their own. Constantly working on their writing and growing together we can only expect the best.

“We like to give listeners a big feeling when they listen to our music. We picture our music with city skylines at night with bright lights and a feeling of escapism. We hope this is carried through to any one listening to us.”

Already with one EP under their belt, three mini singles and planning to hit the UK/European circuit this summer they can only go up from here. Taking hold of their next moves, learning their audience, learning their craft, and singing anthems with words that will cling on to the lips of their listeners. “We are Tokyo” is paving the wave to make an impression on the generations to come.
Creating an outlet for listeners to explore with their music, “We are Tokyo”… having a few moments with them, nothing better to describe who they are, Alex and Tom took some time to answer our questions…


sample of their new single, “Never”, out soon.

WE ARE TOKYO- INTERVIEW
Q: We are Tokyo, certainly an interesting name that caught my attention, what is the inspiration behind this name?

Alex: People usually think of Tokyo as a city which is at the forefront of new technologies and ideas. We really like the imagery of the night time city scapes and the fact that it always seems to be pushing boundaries. It was memorable, flowed well when spoken and looked good written so it was a keeper. That’s how the name was born, I guess.

Q: I see the band is currently unsigned, what are your plans in the future to change this?

Tom: The way the music industry currently is going, being signed is still a great ambition and we would like to achieve this, however, there is a lot to be said for self promotion and knowing your audience and how to target your fans with your product and that is currently what we are doing.

But, if the right offer came to us we would grab it with both hands, we’ve just got to keep putting great tracks out there for the industry to hear.

Q: Where has your musical journey taken you so far?

Tom: So far we have released an EP and three mini singles, which has shown us evolve as a band sound wise, but also, our approach writing the songs. We used to write the music first and then layer vocals on top but recently we’ve been focusing a lot more on the vocal melodies at the beginning. Sitting down with just you and a piano keeps it really open and lets your creativity really flow.

Alex: We’ve also experimented a lot more with synths trying to strike a balance between an organic and electronic sound. You can hear this a lot more in our latest records although we’ve always loved electronic music and it has always been an influence.


“We Are Tokyo is constantly evolving and that’s why we are enjoying it so much, we have some big ideas in store for our live shows and our new records, so we will continue to build upon our ambitions. We hope to make an album full of anthems!”

Q: The summer time is huge for artist state side with performances, does the band have some exciting performances lined up?

Alex: We are currently working on a brand new set list with new songs and new live show ideas and we cannot wait to get back out there on the live circuit! We’ve been offered some decent gigs around the UK and in Europe but we’re really getting our teeth into writing and want to continue for the next few months before performing again.

Q: Does We are Tokyo have any plans to visit the states soon?

Tom: We would love to play the states soon but we need to build on our fanbase out there first. But definitely something on our list to do in the future! There are so many great festivals we strive to play in America such as SXSW festival to name but one! Watch this space!

Q: Listening to the tracks, I see a “Bloc Party” and “Editors” influence, how does your music set you apart from them?

Alex: Thanks! Yes, we do listen to both of these artists and we have a lot of respect for them. It’s nice people can hear elements of them in our tracks.

I think we’re different as we generally put synths at the forefront of our songs, giving us a more electronic sound. We’re also really into dance music and when we’re writing we always think about how to get people on the dance floor.

Tom: Coming from a different society and decade, our topics and instrumentation are so different from these artists. I think we could in time we could reach out to a diverse audience keeping a commercial edge.

Q: If the band could work with anyone, who would that be and why?

Alex: Producer wise, we are a huge fan of JackKnife Lee, so to be in a studio situation with him would be amazing!

Tom: In terms of artists we would like to work with, that is a tough one! Crystal Castles springs to mind initially. I think combining our live elements with their ‘clubbier’ sound would be a great blend. We would also like to work with Ellie Goulding, what a gorgeous voice! There’s too many to list to be honest.

We must also say that working closely with our favourite Canadian Electro/House artist NinetyNine, who has done a few remixes for us, is always a pleasure. We’re planning a collaboration with him, very soon. It should be fun, mixing some genres together and see what happens, very exciting to try new approaches.

Q: “New Reflection”, “Bullets” and “Your Eyes Lie” stick out as
favorites of mine, what would your first single be?

Alex: Thank you, all of these tracks have a completely different meaning to us and it would be hard to pick a favourite. I think each one would appeal to a slightly different audience.

I wrote ‘Bullets’ at a time when I was listening to a lot of dance records. It has a really strong beat which works great in a club and also seems to go down really well.

‘Your Eyes Lie’ has a much darker, rockier sound. We pushed the electronic/organic ideas a lot in this track which I think has created a fresh sound.

‘New Reflection’ has more of an emotional undertone. We wrote it about letting go of the past and really enjoying what you have now. A lot of that emotion carried through into the music, which has created a really euphoric sound.

Sorry! didn’t quite answer your question there! We love all our tracks for different reasons so it’s hard to pick just one!

Q: What has been the bands favorite moment, to name one or a few?

Alex: I think playing with acts such as Passion Pit, Small Black and Grammatics have been really rewarding for us! It’s always nice to play with bands you respect and for them to respect you back. It’s such a nice feeling and makes it all very exciting!

Having mentions and plays on Radio 1 and BBC 6 music has been great and generally people who are blogging, listening and sharing the same love for the music as we do is great and they are all favourite moments for us, so far… !

Q: What would you like your listeners to take from your music?

Tom: When we write our music we always hope people can relate to the lyrics, that’s what makes good songs for us… so hopefully people can feel a mixture of emotions, whether its moving on from bad times or just having a great time!

We like to give listeners a big feeling when they listen to our music. We picture our music with city skylines at night with bright lights and a feeling of escapism. We hope this is carried through to any one listening to us.

Q: At L3GACI we ask what is your music doing to “Create, Inspire, and Evolve”, society? So how would “We are Tokyo” do just that?

Alex: We will continue to experiment with new technology, sounds and produce fresh new music that will hopefully inspire people. We always like to write lyrics based on events around us, and everyday life, which we hope people can relate to.
We Are Tokyo is constantly evolving and that’s why we are enjoying it so much, we have some big ideas in store for our live shows and our new records, so we will continue to build upon our ambitions. We hope to make an album full of anthems!

Tom: Finally, just like to say thanks to L3GACI for interviewing us!

Thank you “We are Tokyo” for letting us having a chance to discover and expose more of what makes this L3GACI. Their creating a culture, a L3GACI, are you

For example, wearing the Warrior shirt to help get through cancer or maybe the Buddha tee to give to the mother-to-be, to bring good vibes during pregnancy. Also available, the Sun tee, perhaps for the business women on the go, to help give strength for their yoga class after a long day of work. Whatever the reason, for teens, adults, even babies, these tee’s help give a sense of peace and purpose.
