J:KENZO - ZEGAFUNK EP
- NEW RELEASEARTIST:
TITLE:
Zegafunk EP
LABEL:
CATNO:
META93
STYLE:
Drum n Bass / Breakbeat /
FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
Drum N Bass / Breaks 4 Tracker - J:Kenzo is an artist long admired here at Metalheadz and it was only a matter of time before they brought him into the fold for a full EP.
Titled 'ZegaFunk', J:Kenzo's 4 track offering was instigated by the 2020 lockdown and fiercely spurred on by Goldie over the course of the year. There is a real classic feel to the EP, so acutely influenced by the sound of 1997 with dystopian pads and groove-laden basslines readily bursting from each track. Innovative dub influences and engaging patterns keep the listener captivated throughout a slick EP with both substantial weight and flavour.
J:Kenzo is known more as a dubstep pioneer, but it's always refreshing to hear producers such as him break away from their pre-established style - in this case, the revolutionary sound is drum n' bass. 'Zegafunk' locks in four new heaters for Metalheadz (it's his debut for the legendary drum n' bass label), establishing a no-nonsense throwback to the earliest incarnations of jump-up and techstep, only repackaged for the present day. In the words of Metalheadz, there's a real classic feel to it, with the unendingly dystopian and robotic sound of late 90s drum n' bass shining through; 'Tiger Moth' and 'Kalibrate' are cases in point, with conveying moods of unswung menace and malicious awe.

Last FM Information on J:Kenzo
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
DJ/producer J:Kenzo is a sought-after player within the dubstep scene, not only as an artist but also as a founder of Soul Shakerz Records. Born and raised in Kent (South East England), Kenzo was highly influenced by the sounds of both jungle and garage and took up DJ duties way back in 1995.
In 2005 he was introduced to the emerging dubstep scene and decided it was time to get in the studio and start putting his ideas to his own music, making his production debut in 2007 on Soul Shakerz with a release entitled "Tekno Bass". He has seen his tracks played by many of the top DJ's in the scene, including Caspa and Skream, and has had the production "Cosmo" feature on the latest Ministry of Sound CD mixed by The Cut Up Boys. Releases on Dub Police, Argon Records, 2nd Drop and his own Soul Shakerz imprint have made his productions available worldwide.
With an increasing fan base and more tracks soon to be released on Argon, Dub Police and Gangsta Boogie, accompanied with resident plays at London's prestigious Fabric night club, as well as cities such as Brussels, Ayia Napa, Seattle & Birmingham recently being blessed with his sounds, heat is steadily rising around the Kent-based selector.
J:Kenzo takes pride with his DJ sets which he is ever evolving and are built for the dancefloor.
Expect to hear sub-heavy dubstep with echoes of jungle, dancehall and house. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
