By Dr. Jasper GapeAmy D is my homegirl from Boston Mass, and when homegirl needs to talk to this nerd, she gets her wish. If you remember awhile back in our interview with Koko Dozo, she was with them, but now that the great Koko Dozo is apart of this generation's musical legacy (and effectively finished as a band) Amy still kept herself busy collaborating with other electronic artists.With that
Over the last few months, a singular but powerful voice has been gracing 12" singles, DJ mixes (from the likes of Drop the Lime , Sharkslayer , French Fries/Senta & others) & dance floors around the world. From Polish production duo (& recent Trouble & Bass signing) Supra1 's dubstep banger "Still Believe", to the funky soulful NYC house [...]
Official press release GANGSTA! GANGSTA!Hey there,So a few weeks back I sent this dope new track from Koko Dozo along with their recent collaboration with Morsy. 'Gangsta' somehow got lost in the fold and I'd love for you to give it another listen.Coco Machete has just licensed it for an upcoming compilation and I feel like it's one of the best closing set tracks I've heard in a
Whether the result of a serious lack of sleep or the fact we've been going one billion miles an hour playing catch up after all of last week's fun, aka South by Southwest, this week has flown by. In fact, while your enjoy this week's mix of the best new singles and remixes, along with mp3s from seriously talented up-and-comers, we're going to finally get a few Z's. After all, you won't need us while your taking in what's being offered below... NEW Singles: "Birthday" by Awesome New Republic [...]
How about some space music? This interesting Koko Dozo group released an album last year with a classic vocal disco house sound. Brought back some fun memories for me. Koko Dozo - Gangsta Koko Dozo - Spaceman Koko Dozo and Morsy - The Shine
Though DJ Morsy's always impressed with his remixes, I'm unfamiliar with his originals. Or rather, I was until today. His tracks are always clean and well-produced, so there was never any doubt that his remix prowess would cross over into the original game. And now I have confirmation that the dude does in fact rock even without a popular track leading the way. Here he teams up with Koko Dozo (a resident at Morsy's Crooked Disco party) to crank out a lovely cut that's 100% original - no samples whatsoever. Like so [...]

I've been pretty wack in updating you on all things Koko Dozo lately. And by lately, I mean, it's major suckage on my part. Here's a brief rundown of the goings-ons and goings-ups of the space-age funk duo. - New song! Gangsta is just that. A bit of filth, a LOT of funk, and overall, a thugged out tasty time in your ears. (snag below) - Their track, Boomchi , was used in the latest episode of [...]
That's right you guys. Interplanetary dance/funk/booty duo Koko Dozo are playing a special show this Saturday at Mr. Black here in New York City, breaking out the jams and hoping to get some "Face On The Dancefloor" as belter Amy Douglas will celebrate another year on this, the third planet from the sun. The group terrorizes the usual definition of "disco" with incessant, out-of-this-world beats and Amy's too-sophisticated-for-the-uned ucated four octaves voice. This show is seriously recommended for anyone ready to sweat to poppy tunes and have their face muscles hurting on Sunday morning from too much [...]
For most of us, it's cold, snowy, and downright miserable outside. But in many respects, this week is also one of celebration. For one, we're currently taking in the sights and sounds of Chicago's Tomorrow Never Knows Festival , and if you've been reading our coverage, you'll know it's been unbelievably awesome. But that's really only the beginning, as in the coming hours and days, we'll be unveiling a few more goodies that would warm even the coldest of souls. So until then, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape. TNK Fun: [...]
Koko Dozo are the cosmic cousins of Georgio Moroder and Parliment. Amy Douglas' vocals are deep and soulful yet punk and jazzy all at the same time. Douglas does not suffer from the too often used R&B tones of many a 'deep house' record. The songs of Koko Dozo, produced by Polarity 1, are familiar in just the right ways. We feel it's best descirbed as Stomp-Funk Space-Disco for the sect who
No offense... they look weird, but their tunes are groooovy! Koko Dozo are the cosmic cousins of Georgio Moroder and Parliment. Amy Douglas' vocals are deep and soulful yet punk and jazzy... [[ This is a summary only. Go to the website for music, photos, & more! ]]
The new Blastercase site is in the works and should be up by mid March. I'm pretty excited about what's in store for the site in 2009, more music and better coverage of new artists. Plus we will be self hosted so no more silly yousendit or zshare (though they have worked out nicely so far.) Speaking of new artists my friends over at Low Life Inc. have a dropped a very funky number on me. It's from NYC based duo Koko Dozo and it's guaranteed to get any party started. I really [...]
Holy poop, B-52's reincarnated. Nevermind that they're still around. This thing I'm used to hear in early 90's to some intro to some crazy tv-show. How do you start making this kind of music? Seriously! Funk, boogie, soul, electro, space-thingy. I'm impressed. And I want to put on a funny hat and pretend I'm E.T. or something. You can really hear that Koko Dozo are insane. In a good way. mp3: Koko Dozo - Face On The Dancefloor mp3: [...]
