My guest this week is New York producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Anysia Kym. We spoke about Poor Things, bonding with her brother over the Barbie movie, the hype of Timothee Chalamet, Child’s Play, local movie theaters, growing up on the music of Raven-Symone and Ty Dolla $ign, transitioning from playing the drums to producing drum and bass, the idea of genre, working with MIKE and 10k, and the creative process behind her latest project Truest. Come fuck with us.

Truest is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Consider copping via her Bandcamp. Follow Anysia on Instagram (@ok.nys) and Twitter (@ok_nys).
