CIRCUS presents SPUNDAE 8/13

DJ KEOKI


He arrived on the mainland with forty records, a bag full of clothes and $200 in his pocket, without the slightest idea he would become a key figure in a groundbreaking social movement. An artist whose music would shred the sonic spectrum for a digital generation, jonesing to transcend the old ways, Keoki was destined to make a name for himself.

Born in El Salvador, raised on Maui and nicknamed for the mysterious bastard son of a legendary Hawaiian king, Keoki arrived on the mainland US in the late eighties. Landing a job with TWA in New York, tracking lost luggage, enabled Keoki the opportunity to travel the world for free. But it was while moonlighting as a busboy at Danceteria, a hot Manhattan nightclub, that Keoki saw the sights and heard the sounds that would change his life and perhaps the future of pop music.

Fascinated by the powerful connection a DJ could make with a crowd, Keoki himself began to play records, putting his own distinctive spin on other artists' music. Flamboyant as hell, he dubbed himself "Superstar DJ" Keoki. "I wore a jeweled crown, big furry collars and gold chains," he recalls with a laugh. "It was a gimmick, but the fun of it really caught fire". Though it started as a lark, the "Superstar DJ" Keoki phenomenon quickly became sought after in Manhattan. He worked legendary parties for the likes of Lou Reed, Deborah Harry, and The B-52's. "All the glamorous creatures of New York were there", he says.

By the early nineties the underground dance music scene had swelled to a critical mass. The rave scene in America was born and as one of the first traveling DJs, Keoki was propelled into the limelight. Through his numerous performances at Los Angeles raves, Keoki caught the attention of Steve Levy, president of Moonshine Music. Keoki's personality, flamboyance and glaring musical talent led to Keoki and Moonshine joining forces. Although signed as a recording artist, his immediate skills lay in his DJ-ing ability, and as a result, a series of top selling DJ mix albums including "Superstar DJ Keoki - All Mixed Up" and "Disco Death Race 2000" were released. Between discs and sold out performances, Keoki began crafting original material.

Scott Stubbs opened up for JOOF in Vegas a couple of months back. And here you were thinking that this thread might be immune to my JOOF propaganda!

Hmm...well the music was definitely very different from JOOF. Can't recall the style tbh.

FYI - This is not a joke.


Keoki has made a plea to all his promoters that he has been trying to get away from the name "Keoki" and go back to using his real name Maurice.

The name Keoki was built off the old New York Club Kids days, which consisted of good times as well as some bad times. He is trying to get away from that whole stereo type that he is still involved with drugs and people who commit murder.

Please help Maurice to gain his true image back and try not to use the name Keoki

Then his contract should say Maurice (aka Keoki) or something and slowly let it slide away over time. Say in the contract how the name is promoted. His management should have some control over how his name is used...

True very True. I think this is the real problem here. His management wont let him escape from the name, at least at the moment. So what he is trying to do, is start by getting his close fans and friends to make the change first and let it catch on that way.

The funnest nite

OMFG, spundae was awesome. The tatoo parlor, the devil on that springy thing. I was so glad I wasn't at Avalon. I think you guys would agree?

One thing though, can you guys help me identify the vocal remix that was played BEFORE the Nirvana song. It's like so obvious and on the tip of my tongue but I totally forgot how the tune sounds like. It was a male voice, and the song is a remix of a well known song I'm sure. Thanks for an awesome nite.
