Saturday, November 28 at 11 p.m.
Le Makeda, 103 rue Ferrari, 13005 Marseille

From Marseille to California, the groove stops off at Le Makeda. For this edition of Mofak & Friends, Mofak brings together Californian rapper Dezzy Hollow and DJ Cali for a night of West Coast sounds. Expect modern funk, G-funk, warm basslines and rap inspired by the Oceanside sunshine. Three musical worlds, one shared passion for groove.

Dezzy Hollow
Hailing from Oceanside, California, Dezzy Hollow is a rapper and producer whose music draws on West Coast hip-hop, funk and soul. Raised on classics by Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Nate Dogg, he crafts a sound rooted in his hometown’s culture, blending funk grooves with Californian rap. Since writing his first lyrics as a teenager, he has forged his own path as an independent artist.

Mofak
Mofak is a producer, composer and performer inspired by the funk and hip-hop sounds of the US West Coast. Initially known as a popping dancer, he has devoted himself to music for more than ten years, developing a sound shaped by synthesizers and the legacy of G-funk.

Splitting his time between Marseille and Los Angeles, which has become his second home, he collaborates with artists on the local scene and performs at venues and festivals around the world.

DJ Cali
DJ Cali has been immersed in music since childhood, growing up in a family passionate about funk and hip-hop. That musical background naturally led her to DJing, and she honed her professional skills at Akademix DJ School alongside DJ Djel (Fonky Family).

She performs onstage with artists such as Maze and plays support slots, including opening for Mofak in Los Angeles at the invitation of FunkFreaks, a pioneering collective in California’s funk culture.

As the organizer of events such as Califorlina and the East Coast & West Coast Party, celebrating West Coast, Latino and modern funk cultures, she brings together a range of disciplines: DJing, live talkbox, popping, wepa style, lowbikes and lowriders.

She also holds a residency on Radio Grenouille with her monthly show Southside by Cali, spotlighting the local scene and artists with a passion for hip-hop and funk. An expert in both old-school and new-school G-funk culture, Cali continues to champion it in Marseille.
