Chapter One by AriSawkaDoria (2005)
Three of the Seattle underground music scene’s most innovative and celebrated artists have joined forces to create a new sound combining the sound of tru-jazz, jungle beats, rock, and DnB. AriSawkaDoria is the defining spirit of Seattle’s underground live music scene. Members: KJ Sawka, Joe Doria, Ari Zucker
Still currently playing live shows: Welcome to KJ Sawka's Live Acid Jazz Breakbeat Trio, AriSawkaDoria
"Every now and then, EDM fans get treated to artists with enough classic musical know-how to rip us out of our comfort zones. Our readers will have no trouble identifying KJ Sawka, drummer and programmer for Destroid, Pendulum, Unsung Heroes, and of course, KJ Sawka. He’s an
electronic music pillar of the Pacific Northwest, but he also teams up with two other Northwest musical juggernauts for an avant-garde project—ARISAWKADORIA.
ARISAWKADORIA sightings are fairly rare, with their members’ grueling tour schedules making their appearance at Nectar Lounge even more special. Their music is a mash-up of Acid Jazz, Breakbeat, and Funk. In other words, chill funky music with live and electronic elements, full of vamped solos and rock-solid musicianship. The kind of music that lets you travel to any kind of world or state you like. So who are these three musicians? Some of the Seattle underground’s most talented and innovative artists." -Dance Music Northwest
