Danl Goodman and Ian Johnson collectively make up the duo gLAdiator, who over the past few months have been delivering all sorts of turnt up booty dropping tracks. Based out of the City of Angeles the pair reps their city hard, even paying homage to the "LA" initials in their name. Some people have been calling their style a "warpath, rocking crowds and creating robot sex music." Pulling from electro, trap, hip-hop and moombahton, they have formulated a very unique sound with the hopes of appealing to all kinds of musical preferences. I had some time to pick these guys brains and find out some interesting fun facts about them. They also were kind enough to make an exclusive November mix for Earmilk. Check the interview below and be sure to check out the November mix. What better way to sweat off that Thanksgiving meal?

EARMILK: Hello Boys! Glad we can finally do this. So tell me how’s it going over on the West Coast?

gLAdiator: Oh, you know, just ballin' out of control, as per usual, stacking paper to the ceiling.

EM: Where did the moniker come from?

gLA: Our friend David came up with the name gLAdiator when we use to be a trio, we were all different characters from the movie “Gladiator.” It also conveniently has the letters 'LA' in it, so it was perfect.

EM: In your own words, how would you describe your sound?

gLA: "LA Based Music Incarnate"

EM: How did you two meet? Did you have solo projects before gLAdiator?

gLA: We went to high school together. Took a brief hiatus from balling out of control (see above) to go to different colleges and pursue "education" so we could get "real jobs" lol.
