Greasy Listening

Woody the Wino

Hot off the heels from The Du-Rites all new sophomore album 'Greasy Listening' we sat with that dude J-Zone to track exactly how he got from studio rat to the Paul Mooney of Rap to drummer of the former slappin' Funk duo. The idea being - that if you only know of him from the string of rap albums he dropped thru the early Aughts, perhaps as your own musical tastes have developed than the rich musicality of his Funky instrumental work may appeal to your sensibilities. oh yeah and don't forget to Subscribe to our podcast!

After the positive response to (and heavy sampling of) 2014’s Lunch Breaks and 2015’s Backyard Breaks, drummer/producer J-Zone took a break from the breaks. Looking to improve and develop as an all-around drummer, the New York native spent the next two years woodshedding, performing live with bands in different genres in New York City and developing his own funk bands, The Du-Rites and The Zone Identity. Zone also had big shoes to fill when he found himself in the drum chair for legendary funk outfit (and drum break/DJ staple), Manzel. The late-blooming drummer’s journalism background also inspired the Red Bull Music Academy column, Give The Drummer Some, in which he interviews some of the most recorded and sampled drummers of all time. With a two year crash course in playing, studying, practicing and talking drums with some of the greatest break architects of all time, J-Zone returns with knowledge and polish he didn’t have for the first two installments. 24 breaks deep, Guerrilla Drums is the result.

Since his previous installment, J-Zone has laid down grooves for Danger Mouse, Alchemist, Prince Paul, Marco Polo, DJ Skizz, Bobbito Garcia’s upcoming Rock, Rubber, 45s documentary and more. Zone’s drumming has been noted on social media by Questlove, DJ Scratch, Steve Arrington and more. More versatile than Lunch Breaks and more jam-packed than Backyard Breaks, effort #3 is worth the wait.

Greg Errico: Give The Drummer Some  Ep. 4

If you've been a fan of underground hip-hop as long as we have, then you probably know who MC/Producer J-Zone is.  After releasing his 2011 book, Root for the Villain, which detailed the collapse of his rap career, he began his transition from a hip-hop artist into a full-time drummer.  This week on the most infamous podcast on planet earth, we dive deep into his journey and breakdown the traits that have made J-Zone successful.  This is one for the books.  Lets go!

152: The J-Zone Cheat Code

House List podcast alumni J-Zone is the latest on board for our ongoing DJ mix series and he brought those heaters. Zone has been making strides with his own Funk project The Du-Rites and continuously building his rep in the drumming world - and those influences are surely available in this mix. We get crackling drums and boppin' baselines of that 60s and early 70's soul and funk right here. This is that up in the morning motivation kind of mix, or that late night groove. It's a head nodder. Make sure that you go back to our original interview all the way back on Episode 57! Don't sleep on his original music (especially if you dig this kind of vibe) hit https://j-zone.bandcamp.com and drop a couple bucks!! Also, please do us a favor and help spread the word on this show. It is 200% word of mouth and I want you to send this link to any friends you may think dig!! I mean that. Thanks for listening!
