About Me |
|
| DJ Eric ILL is a product of the Los Angeles Afterhours subculture. 11 years ago, long before Hollywood Boulevard turned into an overpriced adult Disneyland, it was a wasteland/mecca for punks, rockers, metal heads, and rave kids. A subculture that didn’t even get going until 2am.It was here he would shoot after what ever bar he was spinning at to do a second set from 2am til at least 4:30 am that he feels he truly found his way of mixing rock, soul, electronica and techno for a vast array of kids that didn’t leave the club until the Los Angeles sun had well risen. The City eventually shut down all the Afterhours clubs and cleaned up the Boulevard. It was out of these ashes that he truly rose. He quit his day job and moved west, a couple of miles down the road to the decadance of Sunset Strip clubs such as The Viper Room, Rainbow, On the Rox, The Cat Club and Whisky A Go Go among others.It was make or break. Not wanting to end up a bad human jukebox that only spit out 80’s rock, he returned to the groove he found in the Afterhours world where he could mix rock right next to electronica, Led Zeppelin right next to Aphex Twin, Depeche Mode coupled with Guns n Roses all in the same set. This led to him being asked to do remixes, write, and produce a vast array of artists.DJ Eric ILL unleashes beats and moods he has known to cause chaos and decadance on his dancefloors in the new milleniumA musical relationship formed when a Betty Page meets Marilyn Monroe performed a capella at the "Drop Dead Gorgeous" night at The Beauty Bar in Hollywood where he was spinning that night, Eric ILL and Kiper found themselves with a five song ep on their hands that was recorded at his home studio.With Eric ILL's extensive music background doing remixes for Marilyn Manson to television soundtracks for hit series like NBC's "Shark" and Kiper's sexual nymph meets innocent pixie vocal and visual style they soon forged a sound that crossed a vocal that was like 80's candy with a 70's punk attitutude placed over Eric ILL'S dirty electronic beats. The songs have a smell bathed in smog, sex, lots of beats per minutes and the battered dreams of Los Angeles. "We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, but we do want to keep it spinning" says ILL one late night after a standing room only gig at Sunset Strip's Cat Club. plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com .. | |
