What
we do
GFS Productions has
evolved from our little funk rock band to a full fledged multi-media collective.
Here's the lowdown on what we do.
Music
- We make lots of music. Sometimes under different names
|
| GFS |
Our
main music vehicle. Headed up by main producers J.Smooth and JG but
contributed to by everyone. Known previously for the funky d&B
sounds, GFS now pushes the boundaries of all genre's of music. |
| Moqita |
Billy
Blaise and JG's other project. Late night downtempo beats for moody
types. Release slated for Summer 2004 |
| Tito's
Kids |
Funky
House by J.Smooth, JG, Carl Michaels, and Billy Blaise. Music that
makes you laugh and dance. Releases coming soon. |
| Pink Skull |
Pink Skull is JG, Julian S Process, and DJ Diabolic (Dub Diablo) of Clique
fame. Hard to describe. It's sort of house with psyche rock and 80s
style influences. Or maybe not at all. Check out the website |
Other
Collaborations |
JG
and J.Smooth both have done singles under their own names and we've
worked with all type of people in our studio. We've helped Dieselboy
do some intro's to his mix CD's, twiddled knobs with Flowchart, and
even helped scored a soundtrack. |
|
|
| Labels
- We also release of some our music and good music made by other people |
| GFS
Productions |
Our main parent company (our official "legal" name) and
the name of our main record label. There's been a few vinyl releases,
some mixtapes, and some other merchandise. |
| Argento |
Our
futuristic label. Kinda like GFS Neil Stephenson style. more synth
driven, sometimes epic, dancefloor based drum and bass. |
| Slick |
Our
funky label with more organic songs. Stuff with a little more live
instrument, vocal jazzy feel. |
| 611drumandbass |
The drum and bass label of 611 Records set up by JG and Nigel Richards
to showcase the amazing local d&b talent in Philly. |
|
|
| Events
- Not only can we make music, but sometimes we make it in public |
| DJ |
J.Smooth
is our resident super dj, but Rune also rocks a dope d&b set here
and there. GFS has been known to collectively rock a funky live dj
performance, that combines all the flavors of its members. You never
know what you'll get. JG can also be heard every once and awhile on
WKDU 91.7FM |
| Parties |
Rune
has thrown some of the best jungle parties in North Carolina bringing
in some of the best talent in the world. We've also been known to
help out with an event or two in Philly. |
| Live
Performances |
We've
been working on a GFS live show for quite some time now and have decided
we're debuting it after our second album. We've done small live shows
before but nothing like what we have planned. Moqita will also being
doing a few select shows next summer. |
|
|
| Other
- Music isn't the only thing we do. |
| Fine
Art |
Billy
makes giant metal sculptures of ridiculous things like 8 feet tall
cheese graters and sliding boards with fans at the end. He paints
too. Where does he find the time? |
| Video |
We're
in the process of putting together a digital video studio.
Keep watching this space. |
| Internet |
Nick
owns and operates Martnet.com,
the best damn internet service provider in Philadelphia. You need
webhosting or dial up service? Go to martnet.com. Eric also does web
design and JG's been known to whip up a few websites too. |
