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.
