Gaff's Current Cd: THE TRIP BEYOND, with Factor, is literally a Trip Beyond your every day life, a psychedelic journey into obscure late 60's and early 70's psych rock/prog and folk, music, remixed, cut up and mashed up, delivered in a hip hop style, has been getting global attention as a unique and fun filled foray into forgotten music of the past........................................................................................................that's because
One of The Gaffs deep musical loves manifests in the form of rare and obscure original funk/jazz/soul/library and psychedelic records which means first and foremost having a deep collection of original breaks and beats. Renowned for trading with fellow collectors/dj's/and Infamous Producers around the world, His record collection is a result of extensive digging missions, in places you wouldn't want to go if you suffer claustraphobia or dust allergies!. . his style is a reflection of that, at any given show, you will find him cuttin up HIP-HOP, FUNK, SOUL, JAZZ, ROCK, as well as Baltimore, Club, even Disco and House!!!! Nothing is off limits to The Gaff at: PARTIES AND CLUBS AND FESTIVALS bringing humor and fun to any situation he's performing in----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
