Hookerz & Blow (a side project by Mozaic & EPROM) is a live DJ vs laptop mashup already laying waste to unsuspecting dancefloors in the Bay Area and beyond with stupid fresh jams best described as Psyphy, Strip-Hop, Trancehall, Clubstep, and Halfway House….Need a visual aid? Picture it: It’s the summer of ’99 and the bastard love child of Daft Punk and E-40 is on a Green Tortoise from Oakland to downtown L.A. to go hear Derrick May at a warehouse party with some friends, but gets stranded in Santa Cruz when 2 Live Crew attempts to hijack the bus- only to be thwarted by some shady Dn’B kids who happened upon the scene during a routine beer run, but nonetheless leaving our travelling raver S.O.L. The wee hours eventually find our protagonist stumbling onto a full moon party on Bonny Doon beach, where he candy flips with some of the strongest acid and MDMA known to man, and ends up watching the sun come up over the Pacific to a soundtrack of King Tubby and slowed-down Si Begg records. Later on, a bad trip is triggered during an ugly incident with a local “light worker and powerful healer” forcing a hasty exodus. A ride is hitched back to SF with some coke dealers from Salinas on their way to the Endup. Our hero is talked into one last detour at said club, but is later ejected for heckling the DJ for playing too much “warmed over diva house.” That, in a very long-winded nutshell, is the sound of Hookerz & Blow.
