It was a really long process KYLE HALL Interview: Todd C. Roberts Kyle Hall is probably really sick of being called a wunderkind, but it’s hard to think of a better word to describe this DJ and producer, who is still in his teens. He even started getting DJ gigs around Detroit before he was in high school. We caught up with Hall to talk about how he feels about all the hype, and whether or not people are getting it right. You’re considered the newer sound of Detroit, but you grew up listening to the older producers. Is there something about Detroit that you’re representing in terms of all those sounds? Yes, just because I’ve listened to a lot of things and they’ve rubbed off on me, but I don't think I’m trying to carry a flag for anything at all. I guess it’s definitely been a subconscious kind of thing. When did you start producing music? Basically when I started DJing, when I was like 11. I was practicing on my uncle’s turntables, and the next year my dad bought me some turntables and I started buying records, and my stepdad had records and he gave me some of those. I was listening to records and trying to make what I was hearing, so naturally by listening to records it made me want to make it myself. When you’re playing with Carl Craig or Omar S., people who have some history, what does it mean to you to be put alongside those guys, either on stage or in conversation? I mean it’s cool when it’s more personal, but not so much on stage or in conversation, because those things to me are basically meaningless. It’s more when I’m actually interacting with them. Sometimes I’m cited as “prodigy of so-and-so,” and I’m not. I’m a prodigy of no one at all. Most of the stuff I’ve done myself. I’ve had people rub off on me along the way. I’ve met people who have inspired me or given me assistance, but I’m not like the Pinocchio under Geppetto.
