One Dance With Seeps - FOREVER SEEPS

DJ / PRODUCER / RECORDING ARTIST - INDUCE I'm always down for buying records, and especially when I don't have to overly prepare myself to dig deep, play tetris, sneeze 8,000 times, and get super dirty and dusty all in the process. One day my friend Justin invited me to go to this private record sale in Atwater Village. This sale, I like to now refer to as the "farmers market of records" was right up my alley. I literally rolled out of bed on a Sunday AM and rushed over to the sale. I knew if I slept on it I'd run the risk of all the boogie-disco records being gone. I pulled up and found myself at Ryan's house. We had these carefree discussions about music and records in general. I shared with him my feelings of never loving any kind of "new" music, and sometimes feeling like this nostalgic girl that's stuck somewhere I can never return to. Later upon leaving, Ryan's stopped me and said "Hey give this a try. It's something new, and maybe you'll like it" and I did. I really did. He handed me his album The Wonderful Sound of Induce, Halfway Between Me And You. I went home and searched it on Spotify (I didn't want to break the packaging), and immediately started listening. I was blown away, A) I loved it and B) I was overjoyed that I was listening to a white man's voice that sounded beautiful. As you all know, I am huge, a huge pushover for any soulful white-man that can sing well. I almost died when I heard his take on Oliver Cheatham's Get Down Saturday Night. I immediately reached out to him and asked that he come be a guest on my show, and the rest is history. We spent all day Sunday together, talking and working. I later went to his gig at Eighty-Two in the Arts District, and learn that he dominates on Ms. Pac Man. He even beat the high score by over 100,000 points. Dude is serious. We also spoke in our best Sol Rosenberg voices all night long. I related to everything we talked about and shared. Thanks Ryan for a truly, reallygreat day. -Seeps Ryan Smith, known by Induce, is a Los Angeles based DJ, Music Producer, Recording Artist, Record Collector/Seller.
