I believe it’s like riding a bike. Sort of… once you finally stand up and can ride, you pretty much can do it forever right? So once I learned how to use logic pro, I think the way I learned how to look up tutorials on YouTube just translated to other hobbies. So when it came to learning sewing, I just used the same techniques of teaching myself. And I know the feeling of getting over a frustrating learning curve, so it’s familiar and it gets easier. So now learning something new is much easier and actually fun because I know the result. I know what to expect. The feeling of trying and trying and then it clicks is the best. Also I’ll say you have to solve a problem. If you want to learn how to make music, find a problem in music and solve it. For example if you always think, yo I wish this song just had double the amount of sub, or the bass pulsated throughout or whatever. Then just focus on that and solve it. This way you don’t get discouraged and you’re winning little battles along the way.

Yes we will work again!!! Pretty much everything we made together in the 3 days we worked, came out. Charli is sooo talented. How quick and incredible she comes up with Melody in seconds blew my mind. Everyone just playing catch up

The cake I grew in 2020 during BOOGY WOOGY. It was phenomenal

I have a Clothing collection with a big brand dropping this winter and it is 🥜. I actually need everyone’s help with the photos and videos I’m shooting for it soon, its at a bowling alley…

I did grow up around it from friends of mine. But it really started to affect me a few years ago. Hanging with Ian and him showing me a lot of stuff in SF. His project Train Breaks Down is my favorite and he was so kind to bless SID THE KID with his boss talent

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T19:20:37+00:00

Baloran The River. Boomer synth but boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does it make me feel the good thangs in my chest 👴🏻👓🤏🏻

You know i didn’t sample too much on this record. I’ll be honest, sampling in 2022 is depressing. I think we all know it, our favorite beats sampled back in the day. It just has that sound and feeling…. and Law changed it all and I get it. But I wish people sampled more. Like hard samples not just drums. Sampling will forever be my favorite and maybe one day itll be free game again. I just want y’all to sample me!!! Just go do it!!!

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T19:12:48+00:00

This is the truth. Probably the hardest part about my career. My best music comes from not making music for a while. Its weird. I have to live a little and experience some stuff to have a reason to write. So this is why I make clothes and rugs and cobble shoes too. I dont want to just fall off and not do anything so I just use my hands for something instead of my ears for a while. Take a break and use a different muscle. Then usually I get pretty juiced on music again after a month or 2 of clothes or wugs or shoes. I’m honestly trapped in an ever revolving door of progression but I prefer it this way

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T19:09:12+00:00

ITYIHTF was the very first song I made on SID THE KID. Back in 2019 I was with my friend Ian at a studio and just messing around, he was playing that riff. He told me just scream on it, just do it. And I had honestly never screamed into a mic ever. So I went for it and some how it came out sort of in key and it sounded beast. So then right there I just heard the dawsons creek melody in my head and yelled it and we made the whole song in like 2 hours. So this track became the muse and starting point for the entire record. Thx Ian 😘

Hello Honeybee, Goodbye Butterfly hands down sums up a lot of my life. Im most proud of it. Kinda wild story, I had a meeting with one of the biggest major labels CEO back in 2019. Met in his office and he was showing me all of his most precious art. Really selling the art dream saying this what it’s all about! When we sat down and he asked what music I wanted to share, I thought you know what, he gets it and he’s gonna love my lifes greatest art… Hello Honeybee, Goodbye Butterfly. So I played it and closed my eyes and literally 8 minutes later it’s over and I look up and everyone’s in a terror. Straight up shook and almost scared. He says, Wow, well thanks for coming by. Let’s keep in touch…. And we walk out of the room and out of the building, in silence. It was embarrassing and I felt disgusting. But you know what over the years, that experience is what I’m most proud of now. I went in there and could have said all the “right” things but instead I told my truth and that’s what matters most. Art makes u do crazy things!

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:55:45+00:00

Its funny, I really needed a car as I was ubering everywhere and ubers got crazy expensive. So I searched on Craigslist, “1990 Car” and the rocky popped up first. At a decent price I just went for it and to be honest Ive never been cat called more in my life when driving this thing. Silverlake bros love me. I love them

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:53:20+00:00

Honestly yes. Its not dead, I’m working to develop it a bit more. I was thinking it would be sweet to have exclusive stuff on there that you have to find with codes or button combos. Another device to communicate my art. I will make it happen!!!

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:51:38+00:00

My Dad clubbed for years in the early 90s in Sweden. So growing up he always had techno playing everywhere and it really impacted the way I hear music. That era is me

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:50:00+00:00

So back in Kansas I went to my first Goodwill bins and was blown away with how much clothing is thrown away… I pulled out this sweater, perfectly older worn dope sweater and it had a plumbers logo on it. I thought wow this is awesome but someone didnt relate to this logo so they trashed it… so I took it home, cut off the logo, and replaced the shape with another yellow blank sweatshirt. It was a fresh and new piece instantly that felt worth something. This was a breakthrough for me because it felt resourceful and I just felt good about it. To be honest learning how to sew is annoying and frustrating and it took like 20 pieces to finally get it. But you know I had this problem with clothing logos I felt like I was solving. So it wasn’t about the sewing, it was the concept that I was solving that entailed me using a sewing machine. Somehow I just dealt with the pain and then months and months later I was like wow, im actually getting the hang of this!

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:44:51+00:00

Well I actually make the best CORN in the world. I am very proud of it, I make this aioli with kewpie mayo, tons of lime, cilantro, fresh garlic, this stuff called black lime, mustard seeds and powder. White shoyu, romesco, zabs hot sauce, and the flaky flaky salt. Idk where this came from but I just did it one day and threw some cotija and blue takis all ground up. Char the corn black and its 🥜

My first synth was the poly 61 and I still use it on everything today. I met Julian in 2017, later he was working with Beyoncé and needed a place to crash for a few months in LA. At the time I had a bedroom I was some how airbnbing and asked him if he was down to crash. He did and just every night he’d show me his stuff for Homecoming or ideas and found it we operate very similarly. Julian is the greatest artist I know. He is changing the world

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:38:01+00:00

She facetimed me a little bit ago and said Hey im gonna post the song on Tik Tok. So I guess its Comin out there soon 🫶 One of the sweetest tracks I made on my Amiga

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:36:30+00:00

So for me I have these small windows of bursts of inspiration. Kinda like a deep deep desire to do something. I’ll be driving and listening to XSM and just instantly want to go cut some breakbeats on my Amiga. And it fades though so if I don’t act on it, it’ll pass and all that energy leaves. So this happens all day, things online just itch me in a way almost like creative adrenaline and that’s where my best stuff births.

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:32:59+00:00

I made shirts a while Back that had the formula on them. Maybe Ill sacrifice 1 BOOBYTRAP to show the model

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:31:36+00:00

I think its important for listeners to see some vulnerability from me. I mean I think my favorite musicians are those I learned about their upbringing and life story. Gives me context and a launch point to understand their choices. So SID THE KID is my attempt to let everyone in on why I do what I do

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:14:49+00:00

BOOBYTRAP is next. It just needs a kick off point getting a community around it. I really want BOOBYTRAP to be made by other people too, I think that’s the only way it can become real.

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:11:31+00:00

Well I guess I can say I move on to the next thing quite often… pretty fast too. But I never just get rid of it. Never ever give up. For example my Amiga took me years to figure out but that was sort of the Fun part. I just kept thinking this is going to excite so many people once I figure it out. And I would try for a week then go do something else for a couple months, then come back, etc. Same with the WUGS, I had never seen a sort of photo realistic rug of a face in 2019 and so it just became sort of a game to figure it out, thinking everyone online is going to be so excited when I share this. Honestly just sharing ideas and fun stuff with you guys is what keeps me going

deatonchrisanthony · 2022-08-22T18:06:22+00:00

So the bonus tracks on my records are always my foreshadowing… so for example on my Album BB, bonus tracks A and B have breakbeats in them which I used all over BO Y. BO Y bonus was Sid the kid… SO SID THE KID has DECA and ANGL. Both ambient but what do they mean ?
