Pocz & Pacheko are 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).
Some quotes:
Pocz & Pacheko are two Venezuelan producers whose tropical dance tracks have a distinct UK funky element that their label`s calling “Caracas bass – Fader Magazine
The rollicking burners from Caracas production duo Pacheko & Pocz are seriously infectious body- movers – Textura.org
If UK bass is about the energy and pressure of the city at night then Caracas bass about the point where the intensity of the city meets the wide open space of the jungle, the beach and the mountains under a carpet of stars. Put the needle on the record, close your eyes and imagine it. – Senseless Records
Brilliant new release from the crew at Senseless Records from their Venezuelan duo Pocz & Pacheko. Totally loving this. – Generation Bass
Pocz and Pacheko hail from Venezuela, and weʼve been banging on about the latter in particular for a couple of years; Pachekoʼs worked frequently with fellow countryman Cardopusher, and released his deliriously twisted, colourful productions on well-suited labels like Lo Dubs and Seclusiasis. – Fact Magazine
Dj Support from: Untold, J.Wow, Brenmar, Cardopusher, Dave Q, Blackdown, 23Hz & Numaestro, RSD, Octa Push, Mr Gasparov & more…
