Zach Moore :: Gough Street Sessions

Back once again on the Tech Funk Manifesto is San Francisco DJ Zach Moore of The Space Cowboys. This time around Zach gives us an early taste of his Tech Funk and Breaks mix scheduled for release on his Gough Street Sessions podcast in March.

A few words from Zach on his mix...
"Last month I had the great pleasure of playing for the Opulent Temple crew at their ‘Deep Underground’ party to help raise funds for their return to Burning Man in 2010. As per usual I showed up with my trusty Microtrack hoping to capture as many of the DJ sets as I could. My plan was foiled, however, when on more than one occasion the cables were yanked out of the recorder during the seven-hour feeding frenzy that took place around the DJ booth. I did manage to capture bits and pieces of my set and decided to patch them together to create this Tech Funk and Breakbeat mix which is equal parts live set and studio recording. Enjoy!"

[UP & COMING] Zach Moore : On The Mix

A native of Ohio and San Francisco resident of 15 years, Zach Moore was introduced to house music in 1999 and began DJing in 2003. Today he's known in the San Francisco dance community for his affiliations with two legendary Burning Man-based collectives, The Deep End/Rock Bottom (since 2006) and The Space Cowboys (beginning January 2010).

While it was house music that launched Zach's career, it is the combination of tech funk and breakbeat that sustain it. Among his main influences Zach counts Elite Force, Meat Katie, Dylan Rhymes, The Plump DJs and The Stanton Warriors, making him the perfect candidate for our UP & COMING series.

In 2005, as a way to stimulate interest in his fledgling DJ career, Zach launched a house and breakbeat series called The Gough Street Sessions which he circulated to friends and his handful of fans through e-mail. Today The Gough Street Sessions is now a successful iTunes podcast with listeners all over the globe.

Upcoming Gigs:
November 20th - The Plump DJs at Mighty in SF with the Seismic crew
