“Old school taste new school bass”. Smoked Out Soul keeps one foot grounded in the roots of classic funk, and one hand reaching for the stars where futuristic bass music is constantly evolving. Blending the classics with modern production, SOS features a high energy DJ set laced with live horns, synth, guitar, drums and special guests. It’s Memphis meets California. It’s scratchy records mixed with computer love. What started out as a one of kind DJ / Live hybrid dance party held at a premier night club in San Francisco’s Mission district, has now become a touring act, record label and production team. Along with Bay Area clubs, SOS has played festivals such as Bonnaroo, Lightning in A Bottle, Symbiosis and their favorite…Joshua Tree Music Festival. Led by producer / DJ / guitarist ZEBUEL, Smoked Out Soul features some of the best players in the bay: Paul Oliphant on drums, Ian McDonald on synth and guitar, Brandon Lee on percussion, Uriah Duffy on bass, Chris Hoog and Teddy Raven on sax, and as always secret special guests! They will throttle a 2 hour set on Sunday, and Zebuel will also rock a DJ set on Saturday eve at JTMF.
