SATURDAY 2/7/15 MERCER
Motion Potion & DJ Zeph
4 hour "FLOORWAX" 4-turntable set
NO COVER / FREE SHOW
FLOORWAX is a new collaborative music project featuring two Bay Area bona-fide dance floor O.G’s: Deejay Zeph & Motion Potion. Zeph is one of the West Coast's most consistent forces in hip hop and live turntablism.
The producer of dozens of singles and full length albums as a solo performer, Zeph is also known for collaborations with MC Azeem (as Alpha Zeta), Skins & Needles (with Max McVeety) as well as extensive touring with Lyrics Born.
Motion Potion is one of the Bay Area’s most prolific, original, eclectic, and daring Djs. Known for his deep remix forays into obscure source material, or Electric Nostalgia, MoPo is a staple on the national festival circuit and has opened shows for such luminaries as Metallica, Parliament Funkadelic, Isaac Hayes and Jurassic 5. The new project features an intense combination of MoPo’s deep knowledge of breakbeat, nudisco and ghettofunk with Zeph incredible scratching, sampling, and effects skills.
The two will concoct four hours of dance floor mayhem taking turns driving and playing together for a good portion of the night. The duo debuted the new project at Sea of Dreams to a huge response and followed that up with a blistering turn on the decks at the 2105 Icebreakers Ball.
