FUNKAZOID is a live act of Funky & Jazzy Break Beats. The performance is a 2.5 hour set of real time improvised mixing production, from original tunes composed and prepared by P. Lewin. Music instruments, samplers and mixers are worked in real time. The result is different each time, thanx to the audience too. In special occasions, guest musicians join Pierre on stage.

WHO IS FUNKAZOID Funkazoid was created by Pierre Lewin, professional musician and producer for 25 years, electronic music producer since 1998.

THE STYLE In 1998, Pierre and DJ Simon Ralph produced a first live act as ‘BiG FiSH’: a funky / hard house set. In 2004 Pierre built Breackazoid, mixing Chill Out, Jazzstep and Jungle-Drum n' Bass. Breackazoid has been played in many countries, in many different versions. A first version of Funkazoid was created in 2007: Funky and Deep House, and was played for the first time on March 19th, at the Dragon Festival (Grenada, Spain). The new version is a mix of Funky Break Beats and Jazzy trends. Some call it "Lounge Breaks".

MAKING OF Funkazoid is an improvised live production session. Hundreds of original sound samples previously created in studio are joined and mixed live, to build a set of about 3 hours. The instruments which produce the overall sound are mainly samplers, electric or electronic instruments. Funkazoid is however a creative live arrangement using mixers in real time. Successions of ambiences alternate, from strong to laid back, following the inspiration of the moment and the audience response.

During the performance, Pierre plays keyboard and electric bass. Other professional musicians sometimes join him and bring more live instrument sounds.
