The up and coming Wicklow-born funk star has a very special evening planned for the launch of his debut EP In Your Own Sweet Time
Zaska might not be on your radar yet but you can be sure that by the end of the summer that'll be an entirely different story.
Delivering a remarkable combination of hip-shaking funk, fast rap verses, virtuoso guitar playing and smooth Steely Dan influenced grooves, Wicklow-man Zaska has produced one of the most strikingly accomplished debuts to cross the Hot Press towers sound system in quite some time indeed. As impressive as the Zaska experience is on record, the live show featuring his earth-shaking eight piece band is an incomparable experience and one not to be missed.
As if cutting the rug to Zaska family band wasn't enticing enough, a very special selection of support acts have been brought on board to ensure this funk-fest goes all night long. Richard Farrell and the Last Tribe will be bringing their own brand of Beck influenced, Latin-infused funk to the proceedings. Also, opening the night's festivities will be Feather who's blend of west African traditional music, hip-hop and electronica makes for a most refreshing, summery cocktail all of it's own.
Rounding things off and going until late will be a show-stopping D.J sets from Aaron Zbanger Zaska and DJ Hipdrop.
