Bio
We search through all sorts of music and cherry pick the best and most vibrant. We have a motto which is a lamp that guides us through the endless soloing and esoteric meanderings that fog up the world of Jazz/Folk/Fusion. With all due respect we say "Cut out the overindulgence!". Originally started as a five piece Jazz/Hip Hop fusion ensemble in 1999. The current members Honky Kong have moved from The Cinematic Orchestra and DJ Shadow inspired 'theatre of the mind' music into collecting, crate digging, DJing, short films, loop digging, live scoring, and making mix CDs. Over time HK has developed a set of aspirational genres; Twisted Jazz, Afro Love, and Super Fusion. Our most recent aspirational genre is Galleria Etheria which contains free folk and minimal-spiritual music of many styles. Check out our blog for details http://honky-kong.blogspot.com/ -
