ZACH MOORE (The Gough Street Sessions, The Deep End, SF)

Zach Moore’s love for electronic music runs the gamut with different styles in his live sets and recorded mixes. For this week’s Jungo Road feature, Zach has created a tech funk set peppered with progressive house, electro beats, and vocals. He’s learned from experience that in the deep pool of San Francisco DJ talent, it doesn’t hurt to be versatile.

Zach Moore was first smitten by house music on the back patio of the legendary Phoenix Hotel in the summer of 1999. From that fateful encounter at SF’s infamous Wet Party, a long love affair with house music began and led him to begin DJing in 2003. Zach is well known in the San Francisco dance community for his three-year affiliation with The Deep End; along with several recent collaborations with The Space Cowboys (The Ghost Ship, Breakfast of Champions and Paso Loco) and Opulent Temple (Opulent Temple Massive).

Creating mixes is in Zach’s blood; he publishes his own podcast, The Gough Street Sessions. They began in 2005 as a monthly release and have been published regularly since with only a brief hiatus or two. San Francisco loves them and the series garnered national attention while airing on XM Radio in 2006 and 2007. Zach tells us that he enjoys sharing recorded mixes as much as playing live; though he agrees there are few greater thrills than moving a packed dance floor with a live set.

Zach’s friends tell him that his mixes help them manage their everyday challenges: a rough day at work, a long flight home or even a painful break-up. Zach believes that the recorded mix can be a much more powerful way to reach out to people than a live set. For himself, there is also something about the creative process involved in making a new mix that he finds personally enriching or even healing depending on what’s going on in his own life. Finally, he always feels more connected to his music and more confident in his skills as a DJ because of the creative process.

Zach’s upcoming performances include this Saturday July 25th at The Superhero Street Fair (Indiana @ Cesar Chavez, San Francisco, CA); Sunday, August 2nd at Ship Shape: A Sporty Affair with Nautical Flair a Space Cowboys Burning Man Fundraiser (Kelly’s Mission Rock, 817 Terry Francois Boulevard, San Francisco, CA ); Friday, August 28th at Freeform vs. Dubalicious (Shine Dance Lounge, 1337 Mission Street @ 9th, San Francisco, CA); Friday, September 4th 5pm at Opulent Temple camp (Burning Man, Black Rock City, NV).
