Section 8

Imagine what happens when house music meets the ghetto…. the thick vibe of four-on-the-floor beats in their dirtiest form. Underground sounds that are infamous for making people dance. Music that inspires you to don your beer goggles and forget what your friend’s say. Matt Sanborn and Ken Lazee are vagrants from our Nation’s Capital who despite being deaf and technically mentally disabled, have made a name for themselves as dj’s who rock dance floors while spinning for: food, beer, or clean underwear. Many consider this an amazing accomplishment as not only do they share a collection of a mere five LP’s, neither of them has more than one change of clothes. As an additional hardship, DC shelters do not allow for music devices beyond personal walkmans so they have no practice location. The only thing these two lowlifes bring to the table is an inherent sense of groove and a bad case of the clap. The two of them have bonded by years of spooning behind dumpsters, huddling close together to keep warm at night, creating a tag-team duo that essentially thinks as one- combining two sub-standard IQ’s into one that can read at a 5th grade level. You must witness these guy’s in action, it truly defines what a little ghetto can do to some dance music.

Long time solo careers fused together in harmony has produced one of the hottest dj duos on the East Coast. Since getting married, Matt and Ken have accomplished much in the Washington/Baltimore area, playing dates regularly since 2003. Club appearances have included: Cubik (voted best new party-URB magazine), Sonar, The Edge, Anzu, DC Tunnel, Blue Room, Pulse @ Andalu, Gua Rapo, Club FIVE, and every place in between. Mixes and live shows from Section 8 have been broadcasted all over the globe, being enjoyed by house enthusiasts on an international level. The two are part of the DC based Broken Soul crew, a well-known local group of thump-crazy dj’s. (
