The future ain't ready...

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 JJJ Radio on high rotation and led to the inclusion of 3 tracks on JJJ’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 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” with more to come later in 2007. EK still finds the time to tour and play both Live and DJ sets everywhere from San Francisco, Auckland, LA, San Diego, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra to Budapest and the UK.

EK's second full-length album "1000 Thoughts Per Second" is out now.
