EDDIE ELIAS Bio:
Ever since Eddie Elias played his first professional gig in 2000, the New Jersey-based, Dominican-born DJ has been wowing audiences in New York City and around the country with his unique sound and masterful mixing. Deep, progressive grooves are the foundation upon which Eddie builds his sets; where he goes from there depends on the crowd and his remarkably keen instincts. Whether he's dramatically layering an improbable number of tracks during a peak hour performance before a crowd of thousands or working a single favorite record with focused precision at a more intimate after-hours, a night on his dance floor is one that won't soon be forgotten.
Eddie was first influenced during his early clubbing experiences in the 90s listening to the legendary DJ Junior Vasquez spin at Tunnel and Arena & Victor Calderone at Boylife and Roxy. Over the course of his professional career, he has cultivated a distinct sound and an innovative and ever-evolving mixing style. Pulling from across the house music spectrum, with a vast technical and emotional range, Eddie's sets inspire extraordinary and often unexpected dance floor journeys.
Following in the footsteps of his good friend and mentor, Victor Calderone, Eddie caught his first break spinning at private parties on Fire Island, where he played for many of the same people who helped launch Calderone's career years earlier. He also met Ric Sena, an ambitious producer and promoter whose marathon events at Sound Factory were fast becoming the hottest ticket in town. Impressed by the young DJ's performance, Sena invited Eddie to spin a set at one of his now-legendary Alegria parties. Other dates followed, and when the party later moved to Crobar -- one of the largest and most popular nightclubs in Manhattan -- Sena brought Eddie along and offered him an Alegria residency that continues today.
Venerable New York promoter John Blair has also tapped Eddie's immense talent to helm his immortal Saturday night soiree at Roxy, the crown jewel and long-reigning king of Manhattan's weekly dance scene.
Hilton Wollman is another influential party broker who took a chance on Eddie early in his career, inviting him to spin at Salvation in South Beach in 2001. Rave reviews prompted several return engagements, including a career-defining after-hours set during Winter Party weekend that catapulted the rookie DJ from little known peripheral player to major marquee status. Eddie returned to South Florida in March 2007 for another Winter Party gig, this time at the enormous Club Space in downtown Miami.
Eddie also bears the notable distinction of having played the very last party at the storied Pavilion nightclub on Fire Island, the very space where he landed his first professional DJ gig back in 2000 (before the building was razed in September 2006 to make way for a new club). He has also traveled the country from coast to coast playing a wide array of venues & parties like Black Party and Alegria in NYC, Pittsburgh Pride Festival, Winter Party and White Party Miami, Cherry Festival Washington DC, Club Parking Montreal, The End Up and Mezzanine in San Francisco, Club Five in Washington DC, Greenhouse, Sound Factory, Roxy, Stereo, Crobar and Cielo in NYC, Hydrate in Chicago, Avalon, Roxy and Rise in Boston, Voyeur Philadelphia, Krome Tampa, ScoreBar, Space and Twilo in Miami, and Paramount Crown & Anchor in Provincetown. Always looking to expand his international exposure, Eddie's adventures abroad include playing Rio, Brazil; Sofia, Bulgaria; Bogota, Colombia and Dominican Republic.
This month, Eddie will be headlining the prestigious Alegria America event on Memorial Day Sunday in NYC after first spinning Saturday night at PRIMETIME at the historic Circus Disco in Hollywood.
MIKE OLDENKAMP Bio:
Mike Oldenkamp is an indelible part of Los Angeles circuit history. From his beginnings as a resident DJ of the legendary Spike nightclub in West Hollywood, Mike catapulted into larger events in 2004, playing at the 4th of July Vision circuit party at Avalon, spinning the final Red Eye After Hours, then launching the first Reflex After Hours weeks later. He quickly established residencies at Reflex, the Abbey, and Here Lounge as well as returning to play the Vision event.
Mike then wowed audiences at clubs and events like KRAVE in Las Vegas, New Year's Eve Puerto Vallarta, Long Beach Pride and Miami White Party for several years before retiring temporarily from DJing to pursue his education. Mike recently returned to the decks for a special Cinco De Mayo Reflex event, packing the club with both old fans and a new generation eager to hear him for the first time.
Mike is well known for his vast knowledge of music and his diverse sets that mix in classic circuit anthems with the latest sounds, showcasing his uncanny ability to weave in the best in new dance music with the tracks that audiences love and remember. Mike's appearance at PRIMETIME will mark his first return to spinning a prime time club event in several years.
