Funk Box NYC with Tony Touch

West Coast Weekender and Backyard Boogie present FUNKBOX NYC. NYC's premiere House music dance party comes to San Diego Sun June 1st! Tony Touch A.K.A Tony Toca continues to be a force to be reckoned with. An icon in Hip Hop and in the urban hispanic genre. A true innovator that has revolutionized the DJ game over and over. From his legendary mixtapes, to his skills on the 1’s and 2’s, he has become one of the music industry's most recognized DJ’s. Tony Touch began as a B-Boy during the rap music renaissance era of the early 80’s. Heavily influenced by pioneers like the Rock Steady Crew, Grandmaster Flash, Red Alert, ”Little” Louie Vega, and Jam Master Jay, he quickly shifted his interests towards the turntables. Touch continues to be in demand globally. The proof is in the passport as he has toured over 40 countries including Japan, Australia, Puerto Rico, London, France, Greece, Russia, Brazil, Germany, Columbia, Switzerland, Italy and Cuba. He’s also acted as a tour DJ for acts like Cypress Hill, Gangstar, Rock Steady and the Beatnuts. You also may have caught Tony on TV shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and “The Dave Chappelle Show” spinning for Eminem. He had a massive run on airwaves in New York City on Hot 97, Power 105, and 107.5 WBLS. In 2004, Eminem and manager Paul Rosenberg closed a deal for their own radio station on Sirius XM Satellite called Shade 45. Tony Touch was quickly recruited to host TOCA TUESDAYS from 8pm to Midnight. And if that weren’t enough, another weekly party Tony sparked with partner Voodoo Ray was the FUNKBOX NYC where he plays deep, soulful, and afro house music with celeb guest DJ’s. Let's welcome him to San Diego!
