Drrtyhaze

The duo that comprises Drrtyhaze are a perfect mismatch in so many ways. Growing up, Matthew "DJ Drilla" Moffre grabbed the guitar at the early age of 13. His favorite past times were moshing to hardcore and punk music and skateboarding. His counterpart, Douglas "Drrty" Gomez rocked fat laced pumas, lee jeans and beat bopped to the sounds of Run DMC. Both of these cats grew up in different worlds...it was these differences that eventually brought them together. As time moved on in both Matthew and Doug¹s world, they both became very passionate about djing. Douglas in 1987 and Matthew almost a decade later. Influenced by the deep, soulful and jackin’ sounds of New York City and Chicago House Music, Matthew and Douglas found a communion in the underground clubs of New York City where they ultimately met. This led to honing their turntable skills with blends of funk, disco, house, soul, reggae and hip hop. If there's one thing for sure, almost 30 yrs dj'ing combined and an extensive record collection, these boys share an equal pride in their DJ abilities. Wanting more from the music they loved, they teamed up in 2006 to form Drrtyhaze Productions. That same year, they released their first ep in September on the hot international label, Gomma Records. In 2007 they took it a notch further with an ep on Tirk Recordings, a remix on Airtight records and another release on Gomma Records. 2008 promises to be another good year for Drrtyhaze; with a remix on Steve Yankos ( The Voices) dope label Truffle Music, a release on Speak Recordings and more dope releases to come. They share an equal pride and passion in creating funky disco tunes that make you wanna shake your ass. These two halves, like ying and yang, complete a major production force. With no sign of slowing down, Drrtyhaze will continue to make their mark on this world utilizing the frequencies that exist between 20hz and 20Khz. Read more on Last.fm.
