PACE

funkydubmanipulations for the headz and feet

My DJ sets and production work feature funky juxtapositions of rare groove, hip hop, dancehall, ragga, breaks, funk, soul, downtempo, dub, reggae and thriftstore sound sources. As a DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist, I have been a member of several Boston bands including The Franc Graham Band, the Pineapple Ranch Hands, and Elk/Hebeats. My current musical projects include collaborations with the coreographer Carey McKinley and recording/performances with the live prog/funk outfit Elk/Hebeats. I am a semi-regular guest at the weekly Beat Research night at the Enormous Room in Cambridge, MA and have been rockin' parties from JP to NYC for years now.

(BEAT) RESEARCH PROJECTS

RECENT PACE TRACKS
Here are some recent Pace creations including some I did with Darren and the dubbox

  • Shabba_Lets_Get_It_On_Remix.mp3 is a remix of a Shabba track I did with a nice dubhoppin beat.
  • People Are So Unkind/Count Dubula.mp3 are two live dubs/remixes I made with Darren and the Dub Box. People are so Unkind was done mostly live (with Darren and Eric Paull), but with an added turntable track or two. Count Dubula was a totally live dub Darren made using the audio from the death scene of Scream Blackula Scream. Wicked!
  • The story of think tree.mp3 is a live mashup of three of my favorite Beantown producers (Peter Moore, DJ C and DJ Flack). It features the classic old Think Tree track Hire A Bird mashed with the DJ C remix of the Story of O. Mash dat!
