“Old school taste new school bass. Smoked Out Soul is rooted in funk and looking into the future. Blending the classics with modern production, SOS features a high energy DJ set laced with live horns, synth, guitar, drums and percussion. It’s Memphis meets California, dusty records and computer love.
What started out as a party at a premier night club in San Francisco’s Mission district where DJs would collaborate with special guest live musicans, has now become a touring act, record label and production team.
Along with Bay Area clubs, SOS has played festivals such as Bonnaroo, Lighting in A Bottle, Symbiosis and Joshua Tree Music Festival.
Led by producer / DJ / guitarist ZEBUEL, Smoked Out Soul features some of the best players in the bay: Paul Oliphant on drums, Ian McDonald on synth and guitar, Brandon Lee on percussion, Chris Hoog and Teddy Raven on sax, Brendan Liu on trumpet, and as always secret special guests!
Cropper rocked various music projects in the late ’90s and early 2000’s including singing the theme song for the 2002–2003 American sitcom, Andy Richter Controls the Universe.
Jason has an exciting repertoire of new music and is releasing an album this summer. Cropper produces music with up and coming bands at his studio in Oakland, CA.
