Sunset Scavenger

"Veteran b-boy and turntablist extraordinaire, DJ Zeph, makes music for sophisticated underground hip hop heads hungry for ahead-of-the-curve grooves."
- San Francisco Examiner

From Earshot, the label that brought us Ugly Duckling, Diverse and One Big Trip, comes 'Sunset Scavenger', the second album from one of the top Bay Area DJs, San Francisco's DJ Zeph.

Inspired by everyone from Public Enemy, Stevie Wonder, Jungle Brothers to Bill Laswell, Zeph's sound is musically daring and pleasingly unique. His raw scratching and cuts deliver energetic performances that integrate air sirens, drum loops, bass harmonica and a wah wah saw solo, but whether it's sub-textual mood or upfront cutting, Zeph's mark is undeniably Zeph.

The album offers up a diverse range of hip hop, from funk driven instrumental jams to disco-infused booty shakers, plus smooth rocking emcee tracks that roll over Zeph's signature soundscapes. 'Sunset Scavenger' also features guest artists such as Lyrics Born, Vursatyl (The Lifesavas), Boots (The Coup), Azeem and more.

"While Zeph's grooves are funky and gritty, they also have a certain jazziness - the sort of jazziness one associates with experimental rappers such as A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, Digable Planets and Common."
