Crank Caviar

aviar, a modern go-go music project reimagining the sound of Washington, D.C. for a new era. Founded and produced by Malachai Johns, former guitarist for Northeast Groovers and creator of Mambo Sauce, the channel brings together a rotating cast of top DMV musicians to transform familiar songs into high energy go-go performances driven by deep percussion, live groove arrangements, and studio quality production. Each release features artists from across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia reinterpreting classic and contemporary tracks while preserving the raw street energy of go-go and presenting it in a polished, global format. Inspired by genre bending collectives like Postmodern Jukebox and Scary Pockets, Crank Caviar sits at the intersection of tradition and innovation, carrying the legacy of Washington, D.C. go-go into a modern digital stage.
