PHEEKO DUBFUNK Bio
Hailing from Oran-El-Bahia in Northern Africa, Pheeko Dubfunk caught the muse of music at an early age. It was the works of Aretha Franklin, Delegation, Alexander O'Neal that filled the ears a budding DJ with funk, reggae and R&B. Living in culturally diverse Paris and visiting European club cities allowed young DJ an opportunity to become well versed at playing music ranging from house to reggae.
At his first US home in West Palm Beach and Miami, Pheeko was further exposed to house music and became a resident DJ at Club Bliss. He also graced the decks at Florida's hottest destination in South Beach Miami.
After moving to San Francisco, Pheeko further had the chance to showcase his trademark silky smooth, dub filled funky house that was popular at the time. He quickly acquired coveted residencies at clubs like Ruby Skye, Fluid, 1015 and Harlot as well as respected promoters such as Release (Martel & Nabiel), Mixed Elements, Spundae and Remedy. Pheeko has shared the stage with such global luminaries as Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, David Guetta, Mark Farina, Bob Sinclar, Miguel Migs, Dimitri From Paris, Kaskade, Mr V, Plastik Funk, Tedd Patterson, Jay-J, MFR, Franky Boissy, Jask,etc...
Performing at various Winter Music Conference parties in Miami over the past three years expanded Pheeko's skills as a DJ and landed more national and trans-Atlantic bookings in Las Vegas, Los Angels, Miami, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Morocco, Algeria, Spain and London.
Recently, Pheeko has returned to his Northern African roots by playing more tribal, African percussion-driven style. He released Closer to Me on the esteemed Swank Recordings, home of fellow San Franciscan Andy Caldwell and Jay-j. Chosen as one of the five exclusive promos for Winter Music Conference 2006 in Miami. Closer to Me ť also appeared on the Top 10 downloadable tracks on TraxSource.com. The Afro Soul Mix included here is touched by elements of afro, zouk, and of course soul all underpinned by tight drums and an infectious bassline. We defy you not to shake your ass to this raves TraxSource.com. The second release Sahara features singer Manes of Spearhead, widely known for their collaboration with Dave Matthews Band is also signed Swank Recordings. Pheeko's latest single Sahara appears on Swank Recordings and was chosen by Groove Junkies to appear on their latest mix CD. With enough experience behind turntables at world's leading clubs and in the studio, Pheeko looks to producing more tracks and lighting up the dancefloor for his ever-insatiable fans. As he embarks on another European/African tour, this modest producer closes succinctly "I just want to make music for the people".
