Klozd Sirkut

Fresh and hot from the Pacific Northwest, KLOZD SIRKUT is a synthesis of electronic dance music with next level, live musicianship and brilliant songwriting. Acutely aware that the future is now, four well seasoned funk musicians harness the latest advances in music technology, embarking on a mission to rock the modern club scene with old school musical know how and pure groove.

Each member of KLOZD SIRKUT produces diverse sounds from unique, hybrid, electro instrumental setups. They perform on one or more instrument, sing, lay down pre-recorded loops and samples on the spot. It's all layered with some very special effects and a hard groovin', beat driven framework that's pounded firmly into place. The dance floor is at their mercy.

Trumpeter Chris "C.D." Littlefield [ Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, BluSirkut & Marmalade] tweaks his horn with effects to sound at any given moment like a synth bass, a horn section, or an alien vocalist. He can calmly cue samples and loops while laying down keyboard parts and background vocals or play his horn and make you wonder, "How is that sound possible from a trumpet?"
"Papa" Josh Suhrheinrich [BluSirkut & Global Funk Council] is an award winning "looper" and well studied musician who performs on guitar and bass, programs beats and rocks the vocals to keeps the funk extra greasy and down right nasty. Functioning as the hub of most of the loops, PJ ties the band together, wrapping their rhythmic interplay tightly within the pocket of the digital pulse.

Drummer, Davee C, [Clinton Fearon's Boogie Brown Band & Marmalade] is a well known NW Funk, Reggae & Rock musician and successful Dj in his own right. Capable of performing as a one man show or holding it down for the rest of the band, Davee C is known as the groove merchant, selling a brand of funk that makes you wanna get down with yo' bad self.

Keyboardist Joey Walbaum [Brown Edition & Tetra Box] is a talented new comer on the NW scene. His innate musical intuition and soulful style provide rich texture to the band's sound. With hard groovin' fingertips and a sweet, soulful voice that melts in your ears, Joey is a sonic force to be reckoned with.

KLOZD SIRKUT has the ability to take you anywhere, but their musical roots stay planted deep within the groove. With talent, experience and soul, they create a vibe that takes listeners on a journey. They've collectively performed with successful acts and toured the continent and beyond. KLOZD SIRKUT is plugged into the mother board of continual sound and breathes new life into modern dance music. It's a refreshing new take on funk and Electronic music in the present tense and a groundbreaking experience to see and behold.
