In the early 90’s while searching for vinyl in San Francisco’s record stores we found a record called the “Da San Tranzdisco EP by Funky Tribalists (DJ EFX & DJ Digit)”. This record introduced a sound, a passion, a movement, quite frankly a lot things that still remain. One particular artist from the San Francisco house scene deserves more credit and recognition for his underground involvement than noted, DJ EFX (Raul Recinos). DJ EFX is responsible for many tribal latin funk house tracks that has had a direct influence on fans & artists alike. We’ll keep this simple, as Raul would like it for now. We are sure there is more to be said about his history and all the tracks he’s touched. This is the real Tribal Mofo, DJ EFX (Much Respect!).

We usually ask a range of questions specific to each artist, at times we feel as a media site, what are we really sharing? Is it new? Are we contributing to music that will be quality and timeless?….. catching up with Raul Recinos(DJ EFX), finding his tracks and getting more info is pretty tricky.
DJ EFX: “To be honest, I do not have a Top 5 picks, I feel that globally we are all guilty of musical incest, since we are all copying from each other without offering something new. I was listening to some underground tunes from the 90´s and everything today sounds exactly like back then. The machines or may I say, the samples of those machines are still being used in the same fashion. House music of today is not as fun or refreshing, it does not inspire a new sound, I feel it does not release anything but repetition from the past.” 
“I am lost and don´t want to be found, I will reappear when the frequencies progress. That´s all that i have to say”. ConMuchoAmor, Raul, DJ EFX, The Original Funk
