Artist DIY is a series of videos made by artists in collaboration with FACT in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FACT edits each episode remotely, while the artist shoots at their home or studio with whatever equipment they have available. In this episode, we talk to prolific producer Paul White about the production of ‘Shine’, from Danny Brown’s 2019 album uknowhatimsayin¿.

When he was tasked with working on the album in 2018, White travelled to New York to collaborate with experimental hip-hop group Standing on the Corner, whose music was recorded and resampled by White to help create the final track.

In this episode, White talks about the making of the track and offers his unique insight into the sampling and production process. As we find out, although White is having to get used to working in his bedroom again under lockdown, working remotely is something he’s familiar with.

Find Paul White’s music at Bandcamp and buy uknowhatimsayin¿ from the Warp site.
