It is for these reasons we were geeked to have the multi-faceted Alexander Fruchter (like hookter) join us for a proper nerd out. Alexander has moved deftly between the roles of DJ, writer, and label head for many yes. His Closed Sessions imprint is the artistic home for several aritsts we dig (Defcee, Kipp Stone, Boathouse). In this interview Alexander talks about the origin of Closed Sessions, meeting Defcee, and his new dinner/conversation series Legends.During the into Nate and Demone wax nostalgic about the best albums of the pandemic (cause that's over now right?).If you like what you hear please like, rate, review, and subscribe on your platform of choice.
