Born and raised in Long Branch New Jersey, Eric Karsh aka DJ Froggy got his start at the Eatontown roller rink when he was 15 years old. Learning from one of the best, Celebrity A-List DJ Unique he quickly learned the mixing skills that make him a force to be reckoned with.

Froggy held a residency at Club Abyss opening for Unique for  2 years and then moved to West Palm Beach Florida where he focused on house music and house mash-up production.

Currently Eric now resides in New Jersey and continues to do events at many venues in the NJ/NYC area. 

Eric continues to stay focused and busy DJ’ing, now producing house music with his first tracks to be expected for release in January 2014. The future for Froggy is limitless and he will continue to rock dance floors wherever he plays. Froggy will be coming soon to a venue near you. Watch out for him and BE READY TO DANCE!!

DJ PROFILE:

Donny only started beatmatching at the age of 21; he always enjoyed raving to old skool garage and house music but never thought he could actually mix. It was only 'till he got messing with some MP3 mixing software (Atomix)...........then caught the bug.

Instead of going down the electronic route he managed to grab some dirt-cheap Technics SL-1210 Mk3 decks & SH-DJ1200 mixer (for a bargain £500 from his mate) and was soon trawling the record shops of Soho London and eBay tracking down those rare-as-rockinghorse-sh*t tunes!

Over time (and many £s spent) he has built up a vast & extensive collection of the very best Old Skool Garage nostalgic tunes from 1997-2002; he likes to call this the 'Golden Era'. Many, many hours of practice behind the decks gave him the skills and confidence to take the plunge and jet out to Laganas, Zante in 2005 for the entire summer to share his talent. There, he immediately gained residency in Wackabout/Sabotage Club and also DJd guest nights at Amnesia, Club Black & White and Footprint Beach Bar.

Since his return he has played out at various bars/clubs and private functions around central London and Surrey at bars & clubs in Wimbledon, Fulham, Croydon, Clapham and Chelmsford (Essex). He specialises not only in UKG but now Funky House which has mainly been driven by his passion for anything Hed Kandi – he owns a massive collection of their CD compilations dating back since 2001.

Having visited most of the European party islands over the years (Malia, Kos, Zante, Faliraki, Kavos and most importantly Ibiza) he has learnt to understand the ever-changing clubbing scene. Donny has the crowd in mind and endeavours to give them what they want. He loves to know his music inside-out so can drop tunes at the perfect spot to keep them jumping all night. Music-wise pretty versatile; he can also mix Trance and Drum & Bass. His partner in crime http://soundcloud.com/djmikechadwick is also somewhat of a master around the decks who specialises in HipHip and R&B of all years so, together will always have something in their boxes for the masses...

Not forgetting https://soundcloud.com/ross-peckham, his dj partner in house & garage music.

The Barcelona based DJ and producer's influence across the tech house and techno scene over the last 20 years is indisputable. 

His melodic masterpiece "Diabla", released in 2001 became a huge global hit and DJ Mag's 'techno record of the year'. Played by house, progressive, techno even trance DJs, its release saw the Scot’s career soar to new heights! 

Other hits "Jack Me Off," "Bad Coffee”, "Emotional Content", remixes for Underworld, New Order, and Laurent Garnier, plus releases for Bedrock, Drumcode, and All Day I Dream, are just a mere snapshot of his discography. 

Seminal mix compilations for Balance Series, Soma's Sci-Fi Hi-Fi, and Cocoon followed, further cementing his place in dance music history. 

Still not content with conquering techno, Sandberg was mystery figure behind “Francois Dubois”, with releases such "Blood" and "I Try" named as a big influence for Darius Syrossian, plus many other leading tech house DJs of his generation.
