Australian Artist/DJ/Producer “EK” has gained a reputation as one of the nations unique talents in the art of breakbeat. As a live act, DJ and producer EK combines his varied musical influences into a fusion of tuff beats, twisted electronic sounds and epic melodies that have won him support from some of the biggest names in the global breakbeat scene.

From his first release in 1996 and a few inclusions on local compilations, EK scored a deal with the independent label Angels Trumpet, which eventually led to the release of his debut 1999 album, Decoder. “Future Nation”, Decoder’s lead track, was instantly picked up by national broadcaster Triple J Radio on high rotation and led to the inclusion of 3 tracks on Triple J’s Mix Up Tweak compilation. In his spare time he was often asked to provide cuts and scratches for Sonic Animation’s recordings and was also a fixture when the Sonic boys expanded their line up for special shows, like Live At The Wireless on ABC TV and as the supports to The Chemical Brothers

When his former label disappeared, EK soon found a new home in Sound Not Scene. “When All Else Fails” was the first EP and it carved up dance floors worldwide. Later in 2002 EK released 3 12”s winning friends from breaks dons of the likes of Rennie Pilgrim, Koma and Bones, Plump Djs, Hybrid, 10 sui, Tayo, Freq Nasty, Hyper and many many more.

In 2004 EK joined forces with Sydney label Falcon St Beats to launch the pioneering Forefront mix CD, with an aim to showcase Australia’s breakbeat elite. Forefront II was released the following year due to the success of the first compilation and continued to promote the breakbeat sound and support and discover new artists through out Australia. "1000 Thoughts Per Second" - EK’s second full-length album was released in 2007 on Sound Not Scene and received glowing reviews from Australian press and media.

In between his own productions he has managed to turn out some wicked remixes including, The Crystal Method’s “Born to slow”, Peace Division’s “Groove me” and Sweden’s Stisch “Beauty in me” and has played both Live and DJ sets everywhere from San Francisco, Auckland, LA, San Diego, Singapore, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra to Budapest and the UK.

Now in 2009, after a brief departure from the scene, EK is set to return with a new determination to push the breakbeat sound into uncharted sonic territories. Two new singles “Exit Enlightenment/Speak Your Grind” released on UK based label Dead Famous have already won him “Breaks Tune of the Month” in the August edition of Mixmag UK. With upcoming remixes for Future Funk Squad and Kraymon later in 2009 and a secret side project in the works, EK is leading up to a massive 2010!
