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 got a month long redisency
in Bali. Spinning twice a week 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.
Kazy states his major influences are; John Digweed, Sasha, Steve
Lawler, Sander Kleinenberg, and New Order.
