ERIC’S BIO:
Eric has traveled the world for 15 years being touched by rhythms and melodies from Tunisia and Morocco, to Mexico, the Caribbean, East Asia, Australia, European Techno, Salsa, reggae, and more. All of this has fused in to his passion for rhythm, beat, and groove. This gets translated to the listener through a blend of sexy, soulful, house and techno. It is an intangible emotional sensation that releases inhibitions and sets them free to move, groove, and express themselves on the dance floor.
Eric has released original tracks and remixes on amazing international imprints including Manchester Underground Music, Funk’ N Deep, Neptuun City, Dance Lab Recordings, Aerotek Recordings, Bump, Kool Katz, Hed Kandi, Kontakt, Miami Underground Records, Aurical, Kult, Audio Planet, Macro, S2H Digital, and more.
