Always Digging w/ Geoff Scull & Gary Taylor
There are two kinds of music lovers: those who accept what the mainstream is offering, and those who want to dig a little deeper. Always digging is definitely for the latter.
Dynamic duo Scully Funk and DJ Gazza explore the pop and soul sides of the music coin, both past and present while keeping their ears to the ground for the sound of tomorrow.
Sundays 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST/TORONTO
A lifelong music fanatic, Geoff began deejaying 25 years ago. Starting out in hip-hop, he soon moved over to house music. Both styles of music exposed him to the original soul, jazz, funk and disco samples that opened him up to deeper cuts from those genres.
After becoming a father, he began to revisit some of the pop music that he grew up with, as well as other overlooked classics. “The more you love music, the more music you love” is Geoff’s mantra, and his favourite artists tend to be hard to pigeonhole as they cross genres.
Always Digging is an opportunity to explore both the pop and soul sides of the music coin, as well as the edges where the two meet.
Growing up in the culturally deprived suburbs DJ Gazza found escape in alternative radio (CFNY) and imported music magazines (The Face, Record Mirror) As an employee on the infamous Twilight Zone he picked the brains of the resident DJs: The Assoon brothers and Don Cochran. He would compile their playlists and look for the records at various shops: Carnival, Starsound, Record Peddler and of course Goodwill.
With the encouragement of his mentor, Uncle Funke DJ Gazza began to pick up gigs at lounges and bistros. DJ Gazza has played at 52INC, EL Topo, Alto Basso, UNA MAS, Ciao Edie, Lava Lounge and SPAHA. DJ Gazza has appeared on the following radio programs:
Out of D’ordinary, UK Spectrum, Kum Monday and Higher Ground.
