An honest conversation with music collective 99 Phaces on immersive ‘So We Made A Tape’ EP

Freddie Gambini was teasing Insvne Auggie in a long couch about his struggles during the mixing and mastering process. The music producer admitted that the process was one of the most stressful stages of creating the extended play.

He produced about 80% of the body of work which would eventually be dubbed ‘So We Made A Tape.’

The individuals that make up 99 Phaces have shared stories of strife, poise and a clear mission, to create good music.

But the universe has its own way of teaching one that life is not a bed of roses.

During the interview with Myjoyonline.com, they detailed a timeline of events that influenced the messages on the track.

Now back to the couch – where the playful brothers sat together somewhere in East Legon for the conversation.

Clad in his hoodie, Auggie would provide clarity on how their stories of mixed experiences shaped his production headspace.

“I feel like I understood what you guys were going through and all that so, you know, you can’t put an EDM beat on the struggles they are going through. You have to match the vibe and all that,” he said.

They laughed in sync at the ‘hard guy’ who was expressing emotions. But through the giggles, Cozypols looked to Moffy sneakily, as if to evoke some memories of incidents where they nearly shelved the project.

These boys and Mēl are the crux of the collective that created the EP which also features Baaba J with some other collaborators such as Kirani Ayat, Darkua and Anabel Rose.

The 8 tracks on So We Made A Tape have been the talk of town since its release on March 17 this year, cementing their name in Ghana music and particularly the Alté scene.

However, the interaction below details where it all started.

Listen to their chat with Myjoyonline.com’s Kenneth Awotwe Darko.

This interview was conducted before the release of ‘So We Made A Tape’.
