Οι NASA FUNK ιδρύθηκαν το 1999 στην Θεσσαλονίκη και είναι κατά γενική ομολογία οι σπουδαιότεροι εκπρόσωποι του funk στην Ελλάδα. Συγκεντρώνοντας όλα τα χαρακτηριστικά του μουσικού αυτού είδους αρχικά με ελληνικό στίχο  πρωτοπόρησαν στην Ελλάδα την περίοδο 2003-2008 παντρεύοντας το hip hop με τη ζωντανή funk. Χαρακτηριστική ήταν η συνεργασία τους σε επίπεδο δισκογραφίας και live εμφανίσεων με σημαντικούς εκπροσώπους της hip hop σκηνής όπως οι Warriorz, Μικρός Κλέφτης, Βόρεια Αστέρια, Sugahspank, Εισβολέας-Τάκι Τσάν (τιγρέ σποράκια).
Η πρώτη τους δισκογραφική δουλειά κυκλοφόρησε στα τέλη του 2005 με τίτλο “hippofunkochoerus”,  σε συνεργασία με το hip-hop group “Warriorz”. Το καλοκαίρι του 2007 κυκλοφόρησαν ένα maxi single με τίτλο «Ό,τι και να θές» με remixes μεταξύ άλλων των Kid Stretch και Basement Freaks. Το καλοκαίρι του 2013 κυκλοφόρησε το δεύτερo CD τους με τίτλο «Αντικειμενικά» περιλαμβάνοντας συνεργασία στο ομώνυμο κομμάτι με τους Μικρό Κλέφτη και Sugahspank από τη δική τους εταιρία παραγωγής “WeFunk! records”.  Τον Μάρτιο του 2017 κυκλοφόρησαν σε συλλογή της Breakbeat Paradise records σε βινύλιο το νέο αγγλόφωνο single τους “stand up”. Έχοντας εμφανιστεί σε μεγάλα φεστιβάλ και μουσικές σκηνές σε όλη την Ελλάδα με πάνω από 500 συναυλίες στο ενεργητικό τους, καθιερώθηκαν πλέον ως ένα από τα πιο έμπειρα σχήματα της ανεξάρτητης Ελληνικής μουσικής σκηνής. Οι Nasa Funk αποτελούνται σήμερα από τους: Γιώργος Perin: φωνή, talkbox, Χάρης Καπετανάκης: σαξόφωνο-φωνητικά, Αλέκος Παπουλίδης: κιθάρα-φωνητικά, Κώστας Χασιώτης: μπάσο-φωνητικά, Αλέκος Σπανίδης: τύμπανα.

Dubmatix is continually evolving his style, taking new influences on board on each new recording; by now it simply doesn’t do justice to the incredible breadth of his work to slap a ‘dub’ sticker on it. 

"...collaborations see him effortlessly incorporating all conceivable facets of reggae and dub with a striking self-assurance and combining them with an exceptional willingness to experiment and take new directions."

This kaleidoscope of variety is particularly in force of his upcoming brand new album. As well as working as a musician and producer, Jesse King is also a sought-after remixer and app designer, with recent remixes including tracks for the Easy Star All-Stars, John Brown's Body, Zion Train, Martha & The Muffins, Don Letts and Mungo’s HiFi. 

For his new album he spent 2 years in the past and a lot of time in tweaking the knobs on high class Roots Tunes inna crossover style…!
