“It was kind of driving people to continuously create and to be able to meet the schedule,” Hawes says. “Everybody works a little bit harder when they have a deadline. Seven weeks is enough time to be able to really dive into your creative process.”
The Oddio.Files producers include Hawes, Philip “PhLo” Gomez, Dylan “TriLLwax” Trujillo, Spencer “Swesdo” Douglas, Shawn “MANDELbot” Gould-Masse, Nick “MR Truman” Hurley and Phil “Foxy Dope” Ade. The artists all promote each other s work as if it were their own.
Oddio.Files artists fall under the experimental-bass umbrella, though their styles vary. The collective also puts out a monthly Oddio.Friends release, a track of a producer not on the Oddio.Files label.
