J-Zone plays drums on Broken Bells latest single, “Shelter”
This was cut a few years back, but here it is:
The Du-Rites on WFMU Radio
Pablo and I stopped by WFMU for The Duane Train with DJ Duane Harriott to talk Gamma Ray Jones, 70s cop shows and our 2018 output both as The Du-Rites and individually outside the fold.
Listen to the show here. We come in at the 01:01:00 mark if you want to skip to it.
Enjoy!
The Zone Identity: “Soul Food” b/w “Melting Pot” 7″ back in stock!
These 45s sold out quickly in July. Now back in stock via Fraternity Music Group/ Soul Sauce! A cover of a Booker T & The MGs classic and a more obscure Florida tune from Frankie Seay & The Soul Riders. Listen / buy on Bandcamp.
Also have 7″ bundle packages on the Bandcamp at a discount (and in limited supply). 7″ collectors who dig my stuff and want it all for cheaper, dig in!
The Du-Rites: Gamma Ray Jones Mini-Documentary
Heres a brand new mini-documentrary about The Du-Rites and the making of our new album, Gamma Ray Jones! And our adulation for the great TV detective shows of the 1960s-’80s. Pablo and I hope you enjoy it! If cinematic instrumental funk is your thang, give it a whirl. Directed by Dylan Hundley.

Min-documentary coming soon. Till then, brougham to the music.
Gamma Ray Jones TV Promo + Vinyl LP Preorder!
So my group The Du-Rites’ upcoming third LP, Gamma Ray Jones, is…you ready?…the soundtrack to a lost television detective series from 1972! Think Mannix meets Superfly, but low budget, campy and far too violent for prime time television at the time it was created. The pilot for the show was filmed, but shelved by NBC before it’s scheduled air date and was never assigned a composer for the musical side. So when the original film reels were recently discovered, Pablo and I were approached about scoring the show with our Du-Rites brand of cinematic funk! The pilot episode of this lost TV show was originally titled, “Get This Turkey Outta Here!” And it still is. Dig the trailer!
The Gamma Ray Jones album will be available on all streaming services and in all music stores, both digital and brick and mortar on November 23. The vinyl LP and digital download can be pre-ordered now right here on our Bandcamp page and you will receive a portion of the album now and a download link to the entire album two days early.
We also released a new single called “Don’t Call Me Pedro” a few weeks ago. That song isn’t on the album, but you can stream on Spotify (and follow us) or buy on Bandcamp.
Stay tuned!
