This Week's Guest DJ:
Eco

DJ Eco was first into underground hip hop before he discovered his love for almost all electronica music. His passion for DJs and everything about them came about when he was 12. His very first influences were DJ Babu, Dilated Peoples, Talib Kweli, Method Man, Redman, and Wu Tang. He was never into the more mainstream rap, and always loved the raw beats.
When he was 13, he got his first trance CD, "music through me" mixed by DJ Micro. As much as he didn’t want to admit it at first, he was amazed at the euphoric melodies in the trance tracks on the CD. A short while after, he started making his own tracks on music-making software (still up to this day) and released his first original production album, called “80 minutes from home”. The next year, when he was 14, he went to his first club, Club Abyss, in Sayerville, NJ. That is when he decided to completely ditch hip hop.
About a year after his first CD, DJ Eco released his second original album called “whispers”. This album was more popular than his first, and three of the songs were paid by Webster Hall Records to be licensed (but were never released or distributed). As he got older, it was obvious that he was ahead of his time, because all of a sudden, it seemed like everyone was into electronica/dance music, and the teen clubs became the place to be. Even thought he was producing for many years, DJ Eco got his first (and current) pair of turntables and mixer, only less than a year ago.
DJ Eco has broadcast live on many internet radio stations, which were broadcast live on real radio, around Europe and around the Western US. His major influences are Paul van Dyk, Cosmic Gate, Tiesto, and Donald Glaude. He hasn’t done any major events, but will be sure to amaze you in the coming months. He lives for the club scene and lifestyle, and draws so much energy from the crowd (who in turn, draws their energy from him and his music).
DJ Eco isn’t just a DJ. He is a live performance, in a way, taking the crowd on ups and downs, on a journey into dance music. There is no other DJ like him in New York, and he is the first electronica added to Just Blaze Entertainment, and the head of Just Blaze Electronika.
