Bus Driver ExperienceRob Garza Ep. 18“We've never been concerned with fitting into the ‘music industry.' We started making music in the liquor room of DC's Eighteenth Street Lounge with random bits of music gear among boxes of spirits. Approaching our music as a production duo has allowed us to never feel limited to one particular sound and traverse many fascinating musical landscapes.”- Rob GarzaAfter a long hiatus, I am excited to bring the Bus Driver Experience back to the podcast airwaves with a legend of the music industry, Rob Garza. Rob is one half of, Thievery Corporation, an American electronic music duo. Their musical style mixes elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern music, hip hop, electronica, and Brazilian music, including bossa nova. They decided to see what would come of mixing all these in a recording studio, and from this, in 1996 the duo started their Eighteenth Street Lounge Music record label.Rob has been DJ'ing and exploring more his love of electronic music embracing more nu-disco, boogie and deep house. Influenced by his involvement with La Santanera and Canibal Royal in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. His sets and remixes reflect another side not typically associated with the Thievery sound.His new project, Garza, is a deep reimagining of a process that features a collective of artists, musicians, producers, visual artists, and videographers. With multidimensional music and convergence of genres; it blends, merges and melds together into one singular experience.They are currently touring through the US and Canada, check for tour dates here.Connect with RobInstagramFacebookGet Your Bus Merch HereSupport us on PatreonWe offer tons (yes tons!) of extra content for as little as $2 - including an extra ad-free podcast each month.

Episode 011 of *The Upful LIFE Podcast* welcomes JEFF FRANCA, drummer of Thievery Corporation and founder of Congo Sanchez and Natural Selectah, to the show for an informative and emotional powwow. Jeff is a rising star in the Denver music scene, and traces his musical and personal roots back to the District of Columbia. We took a solid ninety minutes to chop it up about a number of salient topics that ran the gamut and it was a thoroughly enjoyable conversation that I think will resonate with the Upful LIFE listeners.     We begin by discussing the Washington D.C. music scene and the successful, trendsetting new venue there The Anthem, spiralling out into a few directions from there. His earliest memories of Pink Floyd hitting his ears, and the music that first reached him deep inside. Topics covered include his roots as a thorough study of iconic jazz drummers from the late 50's through the early 70's, such as Billy Higgins, Tony Williams, Philly Joe Jones, Jimmy Cobham, and Max Roach. He touches on themes and concepts native to each of their styles, and how those cats changed, and basically shaped, the game for decades to come. We also touch on his time at the University of Indiana as a double major, whether or not he wanted to try out for The Disco Biscuits, and his thoughts on jazz jamming verses jamband jamming. Jeff then takes a deep dive on a topic that will resonate with anybody who listens in, the relationship he had with his late brother Nicholas, who died in 2011, after a lengthy illness. Jeff details how his music career intersected with the last months of his brother's life, the cosmic Virgo/Sagittarius connections within it all, how his brother empowered him to forge onward as a musician and an artist. He recalls in emotional detail spending days at Sloan Kettering in NYC with Nicholas and then chasing John Zorn, Adam Deitch, hanging at The Stone, and the experiencing the downtown scene after dark. It was during this time that the seeds were being sewn for Jeff to begin playing with Thievery Corporation.   Jeff's late brother Nicholas Franca Jeff brings us all the way back to Eighteenth Street Lounge music in D.C. and how stints producing records with Funk Ark and touring with See-I laid the foundation for his role as Thievery Corporation's touring drummer. Franca explains the roots of Thievery in D.C. culture, and around the world, and how that heritage has taken shape over two decades. Jeff continues by meticulously breaking down his role playing live drums in an electronic music outfit, and it's fascinating to hear him unspool it all, the nuts and bolts of how Rob Garza, Eric Hilton and company have evolved their live sets into a true live band performance, without sacrificing any of the thump. We get a thorough introduction to Congo Sanchez, Jeff's fantastic side-project that mixes it up in mysterious styles of world electro and future dancehall. He recalls some humorous road stories and a comical debut at Electric Forest 2012, before opening up a bit about the cultural and thematic concepts inherent in the Congo Sanchez trio.  All that plus his presence on Eddie Roberts' Color Red label in Denver, and why the music scene there is different then anywhere else in the States today. Having a partner as a tour manager, why the grind of touring is an authentic and essential element to making honest art. And a tribute to true East Coast OG, the late great Ryan Dewitt. Thievery Corporation on the road in 2015   We follow that up with another interview from the Emerald Cup cannabis event in Northern California, in early December. This time we chat it up with Moe Angelo and Pat Anglin of the immersive art installation Because of the Lotus, which is a festival favorite and a beloved part of the fabric of Spirit of Suwannee Music Park, which coincidentally just announced another fantastic event Suwannee Rising, April 4-6.       The *Vibe Junkie JAM of the Week* is a classic golden-era hip-hop jam from twenty-three years ago: Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers: Crooklyn Dodgers 95 featuring Chubb Rock, Masta Ace, and Jeru the Damaja, with DJ Premier production. Among my all-time favorite hip-hop jams. This is history. Word to fat asses and cases of Heineken!     The Upful LIFE Podcast is available on iTunes!

For the 50th (!) edition of the DC House Grooves Meet the Locals Podcast, we've got something really special: a celebration of pure disco joy from Eighteenth Street Lounge resident Adrian Collazo: "I decided to record a mix with disco and boogie tracks that are near and dear to my heart. I grew up with a lot of these songs and remember recording late night mixes on WKTU (Disco 92) in Brooklyn. The next day I’d bring out my boombox and sit on my stoop with other neighborhood kids to hang out and listen to my tapes. I started the mix with a common WKTU station ID and boy, it brings back memories. People sometimes ask me why I love DJing and it’s really quite simple - I love being a disco/boogie/funk ambassador as well as sharing my love for house and other music that derives from the disco era. Enjoy. You can catch me in the Jazz Room at ESL or at various underground spots in the District including Jimmy Valentine’s, Dr. Clock’s and Looking Glass Lounge - serving up a mix of disco, boogie, funk, and deep house. Check out my Facebook page for upcoming gigs." https://www.facebook.com/adrian.collazo https://soundcloud.com/adriancollazo Upcoming gigs: May 25 ESL Main Room May 26 Bear Happy Hour (R&R Hotel) May 27 ESL Jazz Room June 3 ESL Jazz Room June 9 Petworth Funk (@ Looking Glass Lounge) June 24 ESL Jazz Room

Heather is one of the hardest working DJs in town, and we're happy to welcome her to the podcast. Over to Heather for a few words about the mix: "It is always a pleasure to play at Eighteenth Street Lounge, the crowd is really into the music. I was a touch nervous on this one, leading into Sarah Myers and Tara Brooks I felt the mix needed to be more tech than the housey thing I'm more known for. It really gave me a chance to be a bit arty in the early part of the set. Admittedly, it all went happy and housey at the end, but I think Sarah cut me some slack and transitioned into her set flawlessly anyway. " You can catch Heather this Saturday at U Street Music Hall in Washington DC opening for Tensake: https://www.facebook.com/events/108422962838129/ Heather Femia on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/djheatherfemia/ Heather Femia Website: http://www.djheatherfemia.com/ Heather Femia Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/DjHeatherFemia
