So, I've know this dude Code-D for a while through the DJ circuit in NY. Mad cool and a hella good on the scratch. Lately, he's been throwing some cool parties in BK (that rooftop party in Willy B a couple months back was bonkers) and stepped up his production game. I decided it was time for GWG to have a talk with the homey.
Name?
Cody Murray aka Code-D.
Where are you from?
Rochester, NY originally.
Where do you live now?
Brooklyn
I've seen your stickers all over Brooklyn and NYC lately. What is T.A.D.T. (The American Dream Team) about and who's in it?
TADT is mainly Me & Dan Savage (www.somethingsavage.com). I write all the tunes & do all the DJing, then Dan covers all the visuals. Really what we are all about is making banging club tracks & crazy visuals combining them and making it a whole in your face production. So something for the design heads and music heads.
You ever get caught by the cops while putting up stickers? My boy just got bagged recently...
Haha. Well not actually bagged but when I was in Miami this year at the Scion party, a cop seen me put one up on a port-a-potty. Once I heard him yelling I pretended like I didn't and tried to get over to the VIP area but soon as I thought I was cool he grabbed me by the neck and drug me through the dance floor. He asked me "How I would like it if someone did that to my house" & I told him "I didn't live in a port-a-potty" then he took my promo cds, stickers and tried to throw me out. Lucky, I see the guy doing the event and I got to stay!
Will you be throwing any more rooftop parties any time soon?
Well, I defiantly would like to and no matter how many times I get fucked with by the cops I end up getting myself involved in one somehow. Had to go to court twice last year and at the last one this year the cops told me if they caught me doing another one they were gonna take my tables and sound. Haha.
I could be wrong but I heard you make music for commercials?
Yeah, in the beginning of last year one of my goals was to get some music I produced in a commercial or two. I ended up selling a few, one to Amex, Kool-Aide, Fcuk and a few others. Now, i'm kinda over it and have new goals trying to just do my own thing.
Who are some producers that influenced you early on and who are you into now?
Man there's too many to name...
Early on everything from DJ ZInc to Premier. Those are my roots Jungle/DNB & Hip Hop.
If I had to do like 5 producers I'm really into right now it would have to be Computer Club, 12th Planet, Kill The Noise, Treasure Fingers & Foamo
Who would you like to work with in the near future?
All the guys above =)
Can we expect a full length album any time soon?
Maybe not too soon for TADT but I have an album I'm working on with my new group Monster Squad (www.myspace.com/monstersquad). Will definitely have some TADT singles coming out this year on a few indie labels and major. ;)
Describe your production style in 5 words.
Mad Hype Club Banging Heaters
What kind of recording equipment/software are you using now?
I have a pretty basic set up with just my laptop, Mackie 824's, Midi Controller, & Apogee Duet.
What is your favorite plug in?
Effectrixx
Easy on the bass or heavy on the bass?
Definitely not easy on the bass!
People may not know that we have known each other for a while. We met on the DJ circuit. Do you have any residencies or weekly/monthly parties right now?
Just started a new party with my girlfriend Jessica called Lickwud in Willaimsburg.
Are you still scratching?
Yeah, not like I use to though. I use to be on some practice everyday shit but now I'm mostly like that with my production.
I've heard you get busy a bunch of times on the cut. That's the main reason I took a liking to you back in the day. You definitely get busy, but I'll battle you. I ain't scared of you Cody...!
Ha, lets do it!
This weather is making me angry lately cuz I can't work on my tan. When was the last time you punched someone in their face?
Hahah, man it's been a while. I think the last time was really stupid. It was during one of the world series with the Yanks & Sox. I was walking out of this bar and the I had my Yankees hat on. Some asshole yelled at me "Yankees fucking suck!" so I said "Fuck you Boston sucks" then he charged me and grabbed my shirt so I just duffed him square in the face. I thought his homies were gonna jump on me but they didn't and I got a few more hits in before one of my friends actually broke it up. So stupid.
I saw you with your dog. That's a big muthafucka. What's that beasts name?
That would be Jo. She's a beast.
You still smokin' treez? I loooooove making beats and mixtapes while i'm duffed out.
Every now and then. I too enjoy getting lifted and making tunes.
What's your favorite kind of bud?
Shit, I don't even know. The diesel is nice but you can't bring that shit anywhere!
What's your favorite drink?
Crown Royal & Ginger Ale
Do you get all high and drunk in the studio like most people I know (hahaha)?
Occasionally, not very much though.
What do you always have in the studio when your there working?
Bottle of water
Ever bang a girl in the vocal booth and record it?
Nope
Where is one place in the world that you have not seen but definitely want to go to?
Tokyo
Do you think you could write a children's book? I think I could...
Sure it would be called "How To Fuck Shit Up"
Do you think 9/11 was an inside job?
Everything is an inside job
Do you love Jesus?
Umm, I don't know him like that
Whats good with that KRS-One and Mad Lion track? That shit is bonkerz.
It's actually a remix I did under my Dubstep project Chop Shop www.myspace.com/chopshop09 . Haven't started pushing it yet cus I been so busy with TADT but I will be soon.
Let us know what we can expect from The American Dream Team in the near future.
Working on a remix for the single off the new Naughty By Nature album. Putting out the cover I did of the Ghost Town DJs track "My Boo" along with a video. Also have some major label business that I can't give out too many clues to but doing some things for Universal. Keep an eye open for a bunch of new tracks and remixes.
Shout out your friends so they feel special.
