Progressive Nostalgia Vol. 1 on 102.3 KJLH (11.11.17)

Out of all my off the wall terminology, "Progressive Nostalgia" is the one I use the most when describing what musically, Honor Flow Productions is all about. Yes, we've gotten the "Old School" and "Underground" comparisons, but the way I've always answered that feedback about us is like most artists, "You have to go beyond the surface level" (although frankly I don't care what you call it as long as you listen to it and like it lol!).

We clearly wear our influences on our sleeves. But they are just that, influences. Every artists will pull from their inspirations, and then put there own spin on it. It's sampling the best of the past for you and building on top off it for the future. It's a nod to your roots, but growing a new tree. That is concept of "Progressive Nostalgia." It's embedded in HFP's original tracks and in our DJ sets.

The radio OG Roland Bynum of 102.3 KJLH became intrigued by this philosophy when the term came out of my mouth during our conversation at the station a couple weeks back. We had re-connected while I was DJing the Jazz At Charles Drew University Festival, years after I briefly worked at KJLH as an intern in 2010. Roland was one of two jocks (the other being Nautica de la Cruz) that would allow me in the studio to soak up game and ask questions. I never forgot that. So I was more than happy and honored to take up his offer in give me a platform to bring the HFP Soundsystem sonics to Los Angeles FM radio for the very first time.

And this is just Volume 1 ya'll. Expect monthly installments.
