MASTER BLAZTER: BLAZT OFF
BLAZT OFF, a mix by Los Angeles’ own DJ Kutmah, showcases the individual styles of Computer Jay, J1, and D-F. Collectively, they are known as Master Blazter. Individually, each is accomplished in his own right, and as a group, there is no stopping the funk they create.Computer Jay develops hard hitting tracks built upon moog, rhodes and personally tweaked electro systems.
J1 provides the backbone of rhythm on drums, while equally being comfortable producing quality funk laced beats.
D-F adds his signature vocals and provides layers of deep funk with his own keyboards and keytar.The countdown has begun….
Three musicians with their own distinctive styles have come together to form Master Blazter. Each individual is an integral part of the whole - each one necessary to keep funk music alive, taking it to unforeseen heights.
Strap yourself in…
3, 2, 1…

Show runs until June 6, 2010
A member of the French art collective, LCP United, Munka’s style is strongly influenced by hip-hop and the progressive L.A. beat scene. Using mixed media, Munka’s work captures a new style of art that blends more traditional aspects of graffiti and his identification with contemporary and historical imagery from film, video games and pop art.
He was widely recognized for his ‘Finest Elements’ pieces, a series of animated representations of artists such as MF DOOM, Madlib, J Dilla, Flying Lotus and RZA, among other notable producers and MCs.
Munka has toured extensively throughout Asia, America and Europe creating his art live at Brainfeeder events and most recently, during Samiyam gigs in Korea and Shanghai.
Munka is currently coming off of an extremely successful art show in Kanazawa, Japan with Los Angeles based producer/artist, Teebs. The two displayed and collaborated on several pieces for the event, many of which are now in private collections.
Andrew Meza partnered with Charles Munka in 2005, leading to Munka’s roots being planted in the progressive electronic/hip-hop movement. Subsequently becoming one of the most recognized and influential in the art/music world.
