POCZ & PACHEKO
(Enchuda & Abstractor Records)
two DJ/Producers creating beats on a daily basis in the ultra-paranoid city of Caracas, Venezuela. Their sound is a mix of bass music, kuduro, reggaeton, merengue, dub and house—they call it Tropical Bass Music, but the tag “Caracas Bass” has also been used. They’ve released music on labels like Senseless Recordings (UK), Tigerbeat6 (US) and Enchufada (PT), with DJ support from the likes of Untold, J.Wow,Brenmar, Kid606, Cardopusher and Blackdown among others.
Along with a select few others they run Abstractor, a collective of producers, artists and designers who promote parties, run a popular blog (www.abstractor.net), and represent bass music in Venezuela. Over the past few years they’ve hosted events in Caracas with guests including Mala from Digital Mystikz, Chrissy Murderbot, DJ DeVille and DJ Rupture among others.
Pocz & Pacheko also produce, DJ and release music separately. Pocz is a trained musician and audio engineer and Pacheko will be familiar to some for his solo releases on Lo Dubs, Murder Channel, & Seclusiasis. When they work together, however, things like this tend to happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owAv9bc7lrI (zarbak video).
