"The Underground Sound of DC is one awesome record. It's housey, it's downtempo, it's groovy, it's deep and really, really well put together. So take one heck of a record, give it a sense of unity and make it for a worthy cause and you're left with something that is just about as essential as water. The Underground Sound of DC is highly recommended in every sense of the word."
--Paul Zimmerman, First Coast News.

UNDERGROUND
SOUND OF DC is a collaboration of some of D.C.’s best and most diverse
electronica musicians, including such luminaries as Thievery Corporation,
KayaZ, Fort Knox Five, Kid Gusto, Jette-Ives, Seroya and more... All proceeds
from the CD benefit Whitman-Walker Clinic and the work they do to prevent
and treat HIV and AIDS in D.C.
KayaZ - Tim Kenney has been composing and producing music soundtracks for film, web and multimedia since 1997 at his marketing firm with the help of DJs John Bowen and Jamie Stockie, who generously taught him the foundations of digital composition. With this success he began composing his own down-tempo club electronica under the name KayaZ. This music was so successful he began supplying music to DJs around the world and fomed the KayaZ Kollektiv.
Formerly a player/singer/composer/producer in the bad old days of rock..n..roll, Tim was a back-up drummer for bands such as James Taylor, TNT and Special Flavors. He then launched his own career as a singer with the very successful group "Machu Pichu." Later, after lots of session work with groups like "Four Out of Five Doctors ", he cut an album called simply "Match" on Nemporer Records. Later as a producer/concert promoter he built shows for artists like Jackson Brown and Rod Stewart.

What's cooking? All is well and then some...sending my poem to thrill your day...let go, let go, let go...
Life is a garment that you wear And then take off without a tear Moving on to what is new And placing your trust in what is true.
Now the same may be said for moving through each day Doing your best to find the right way Remember to stretch your wings to fly on high Where love rules the heavens and joy meets the sky.
Take on what you will becoming just who you are Make changes that are suited to living inside a star And be there for each other no matter come what may For there is your connection to inspire you each day.
Walk now with your steps as an actor plays their part Forget about everything but what comes from the heart Use this moment to set yourself back on course And glide through with certainty the greatest central force.
You are that which you are seeking. Know this. Feel this. Become this.
