Erick the Architect, a Flatbush Zombies founder and producer, recently unveiled his new disco and reggae-tinged single, “No Doubt (I’m In Love).” A surprise WWDC appearance followed by nostalgic ruminations on physical keyboards, Erick shows that even tech-savvy producers can miss the tactile experience.
While experimenting with new sounds, Erick’s reflections on his early days with BlackBerry and Nokia N-Gage devices offer a poignant reminder of how technology changes our creative processes. His fond memories of games like Resident Evil 4 for GameCube paint a vivid picture of pre-digital console gaming culture.
The interview reveals a multifaceted artist keen on exploring new genres while remaining rooted in his roots. From his love of vintage iPods to his current obsession with comic books, Erick’s journey is one of constant evolution and appreciation for the past.
Despite the digital era, Erick’s preference for physical keyboards hints at an enduring human desire for tangible interaction. This sentiment resonates not just within the tech industry but across all domains where creativity thrives.
