"I'm Feelin Zooted, Batteries Included...."  
Super freaky and extra geeky, this New Skool Party Funk is a feel good dancefloor jam from the lowriding mind of J. Diamond-Ortiz.  Steeped in Westcoast culture, tradition and vibe, Diamond Ortiz's phat "funk bass", synths, clean guitars, bangin drums, and crisp vocoder will get you feelin Zooted too.

"POP IT" by Diamond Ortiz (Originally Performed by One Way)

Releases March 3rd, 2015. Available for pre-order now at MofunkRecords.com 

"Boomerang EP" is the latest from the prolific Bay Area funkster known as Diamond Ortiz. From the jump, it's clear that he's a student of the gutter school of 1980's synth funk, a la Roger Troutman, but he brings a new dimension to the genre by incorporating a blues influence that allows him to create even more melodic, bouncy soundscapes than many of his predecessors. 

Short and sweet, the "Boomerang EP" weaves its four tracks into a story that tells of a troubled love that culminates in a tenuous, but hopeful ending with the album's title cut. While the subject matter further reflects his blues influence, the grooves themselves are drenched in thick layers of funk, always uptempo and utterly danceable. 

The EP can be considered an appetizer while modern funksters await the release of the first Diamond Ortiz LP, also coming from MoFunk Records.

Purchase/Download available at www.MofunkRecords.com

"Diamond Ortiz is back with a fresh selection of original material, shining light on his masterful production, playing of instruments, singing and signature talkbox stylings. Drenched in G-funk synth bass and feel-good boogie vibes, sunshine synths and clean guitars, icy vocals and soulful talkboxes spitting game in harmony, Diamond is carrying the torch of his OG funk mentors into the future. Honed over many years on stages and in studios across the Bay Area and LA since youth, Diamond's grassroots DIY recordings are filled with flavor and feel, and the culture of the scenes he's grown up around.

From super sized slappers like "Poster Girl" and "Playeristic Tendencies", to the sweet saccharine gangster boogie of "1-900" and "Slow Mo", and the love filled duet "Next Level Lovin'" with label mate Moniquea, Diamond's deep understanding, versatility and command of the genre as a whole are clear.

Diamond Ortiz makes his mission clear on "Special Request" - spreading love and joy thru old school music and bringing people together through the funk."

"333 (Dub Version)" by Diamond Ortiz

Representing the Bay Area branch of MoFunk's ever-growing tree, Diamond Ortiz brings you "Loveline," his first full-length with the label. Fueled by the success of the "Zooted" single and subsequent "Boomerang EP," Diamond continues to expand on his heavy-bottomed, pulsating brand of funk, underscored by deep synth bass lines and skull-shattering hand claps, contrasted perfectly with beautiful melody and joyful sentiments, as exemplified by song titles such as "She Chose Me," "We Clicked," and "Natural Fun." 

Weaving interchangeably between the human and electronic incarnations of his voice, it's easy to draw comparisons between his talkbox technique and those of his more iconic predecessors. Yet, while he makes reference with reverence, he does it in his own way, having distilled the blueprints of many into the sound of one - and it's ready to be heard in full on "Loveline."
