Keith
Zahalka aka Kazy first became involved in the underground dance/club
music scene while living in Birmingham, England in 1994. After working
at an extremely busy club, 5 nights a week for over a year in England,
Kazy moved to Minneapolis hungry for more house music. Kazy quickly
acquired the necessary equipment and continued to hone his skills,
and make an impression in the Minneapolis rave scene. Kazy started
playing parties for the legendary "Liquid Adrenaline"
crew who had been throwing massive parties in Canada and were now
doing the same in the Midwest. At these parties Kazy was able to
play along side such legendary Dj's as Bad boy bill, Hatiras and
Angel Alanis etc. However the Minneapolis winter will take its toll
on any-one so he decided to make the move to warmer pastures and
ended up in San Diego. Since his move out to S.D. Kazy has been
playing at clubs regularly for the past 5 years, holding residencies
at numerous nights (Montage, the Voodoo Lounge, Bliss, Space etc.)
as well as playing at clubs such as E-street Alley, Baja Brewery,
Ole Madrid, Onyx Room to name a few. It was also around this time
that Kazy teamed up w/ Stephanie Diaz and formed Global Journeys
Productions (www.globaljourneysmusic.com), & as Global Journeys
has been consistently throwing club nights & bringing great
talent to San Diego as well as supporting & giving exposure
to other talented local Dj's. Kazy is always refining his technique
& is known to play a set that will progress through genres,
and one that is heavily influenced by rolling bass lines and tribal
like percussion lines. Kazy has played alongside numerous international
and domestic dj's such as; Judge Jules, Sandra Collins, Mark Lewis,
Doc Martin, Jon Bishop, Deep Dish, Hatiras, Bad Boy Bill, Dara,
Uberzone, Jimmy Van M, Joeski, Lisa Lashes, Angel Alanis, Garth,
Onionz, and the list goes on
In 2003 Kazy started
a residency in Bali. Spinning at the Double 6, a nightclub on the
beach with a swimming pool & bungy jump, Kazy quickly built
up a reputation for himself by keeping the dancefloor moving well
into the sunrise. He will be back in Bali this December & January
to show the locals how we do it on the west coast. Late 2003,
Kazy started a residency doing Sunday Sunset Sessions for the legendary
Luke Neville (author of the now infamous cafe del mar volumes 5-8),
where his brand of deep west coast house brought the locals
of Perth Australia a tasty treat.
Kazy states his major influences are; John Digweed, Sasha, Steve
Lawler, Sander Kleinenberg, Mark Farina, Dave Clarke and to many
killer californian Dj's.
