Zachey Force Funk

















is funky AS SHIT. found this man's page randomly while browsin kutmah's page... and was SO glad i did. on some super dusty lo-fi freak funk with a definite early 80s sound, these tracks bounce HARD... equally party material, driving music or just coooooooooooooln.

shining all the way out from AZ, Zachey owned a record store in Tucson in the late nineties, but sold it to MURS when he got booked. learning how to DJ under DJ Z-trip and Tricky T from Phoenix, and how to paint with EAZ and SES, Z started making beats with Reason when he got out of prison, soon adding vocals and a microkorg to write funk. He cites Madlib, Morris Day and the Time, Herbie Hancock and Cameo as some of his influences, but also listens to "punk, electro, and all kinds of weird shit".

When I asked him about any possible releases, he gave me this..

"KUTMAH and my boy ISAIAH whos down with MURS are both talkin about gettin my stuff put out on waxx and digitaly sometime next year.......we are secretly bending circuits on gameboys to show all the glitchy LA headz that we dont fuck around,so we started singin punk over them style of beats..........."
