[Dynagroove] DEGO of 4Hero/2000Black - SoCal Pressure - LA tonight. SD tomorrow

[Chris Haycock]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend is hitting SoCal for 2 consecutive nights
(tonight/Wednesday - LA, tomorrow/Thursday - SD):

DEGO (4Hero, 2000Black, Co-Op UK) 
Dego is a man of many names and many sounds. He has produced songs under
the monikers 4 Hero, Tek 9 and Nu-Era, each one championing a futuristic
and innovative sound. Dego has created a veritable library of broken
beat, drum'n bass and soul sounds featuring a high caliber of artists
including Terry Callier, Jill Scott and Ursula Rucker of the Roots and
King Britt. DEGO is also know for remix work ranging from Nuyorican
Soul, Talvin Singh, DJ Krush, Ben Harper, Goldie, Incognito, Bebel
Gilberto and Mos Def.

Here's what LA Weekly recently said:
" You probably already know the waxwork of Pavel Dego Kostiuk, even if
you don't recognize the name. He goes by just "Dego," and together with
Marc Mac makes up 4 Hero, the infectious U.K. brokenbeatz duo
responsible for reconstructing just about everybody's rare grooves (most
memorably Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleurs") into cleanly beat-driven
bliss-outs. Call it any number of names - abstract
lounge/down-tempo/nu-soul - Dego's solo sound is rooted in the remnants
of the late-'80s and early-'90s acid-jazz juggernaut. He's supporting
two new releases tonight: Pavel Kostiuk & the Musicals, consisting of
speedy, butt-wiggling and (trust me) never-corny reworkings of material
from Broadway shows like West Side Story; and the more laid-back
Selector Series Vol. 2, an all-remixed sampler showcasing Dego's
trademark cascading samples of bass and xylophone, bossa breakbeats, and
seamless segues on tracks by Bugz in the Attic, Bah Samba and
Blacktonez."
