Former Eminence Grey singer and guitarist embarks on project to write and record all instrumentation and create atmospheric,  moody and angst ridden music influenced by 90s alternative, the cure,  math Rock and even jazz/ blues.   In the vein of Bright Eyes,  Ted Powenski attempts to release music all on his own....

Some say the most interesting artists are the ones with the most diverse influences, those with the most of open minds. That being said, it was only natural that djElimu delve deep into the realm of musical awareness. 

djElimu began spinning records way back in 1986 when some of today’s party-goers were either: just being created or rocking diapers and baby shoes. 

Gaining inspiration from his love of vintage hip hop and electronic sounds, his early sets were eclectic and got house parties bumping along the upper east coast of the United States. As djElimu's skills grew behind the decks, so did his personal taste in music. 

Being a fan of hip hop breaks, b-boy jams and hard bass vibes, djElimu's early love for old school house music, early electronic beats, vintage industrial and ragga jungle allowed his sets to grow & really cover the diverse spectrum of music as a whole.
    
His true niche and passion... 
lay, deep within the jungle. 

In the early-90’s, djElimu began to incorporate intelligent dnb & dubstep into his vast eclectic music repertoire.

Not content with just simply spinning records, djElimu began promoting events in New York City for Liquid Sky NYC & NASA (Nocturnal Audio Sensory Awakening), 
as well as the early Caffeine events in NJ/NY.

djElimu often immersed  himself in sound at :
Konkrete Jungle LA/NY, SAVE THE ROBOTS  NYC
Limelight NYC (Communion, Disco 2000).
Pacha NYC
Palladium NYC
TWILO NYC
The Bank NYC (Ward 6/FatherJeff) 
Webster Hall NYC
and various pop up events in NYC at venues such as Don Hills, Lucky Chengs (Subspace) and others. 

During djElimu’s ascension into dnb/dubstep…
djElimu is grateful to have played at festivals and events all over the country, in San Diego, New Jersey, NYC, Vermont, Canada, Mexico and abroad.
    
djElimu has held down a residency on WJSC 90.7 FM, a pirate radio station in Johnson, VT; and has also held a residency at Power750 WAUG Raleigh, NC.

djElimu entertained packed venues and has warmed the crowds for Jersey-based wordsmiths; Arcane, CapitalX and opened for other artists such as Immortal Technique and many others. 
djElimu  recognizes many hip hop influences along the way, citing early 90s artists such as The Beastie Boys, RUN DMC, WuTang Clan and A Tribe Called Quest as favorites. 

Artists that have influenced djElimu on the early underground electronic music scene include: AK1200, Aphrodite, Brisk, Carl Cox, Carlos Soulslinger, Dee Lite, Dara, DB, Diaz Brothers, 
Dj Rap, Dj Dmitry, Emer, Felix Da Housecat, Jellybean, Joeski, Junior Vasquez, Marshall Jefferson, Micro, Moby, Pete Tong, Reid Speed, and many more.

djElimu is unofficially accredited as the Godfather of Spacestep.

International House DJ, Producer, Radio personality, Tastemaker and label boss just about sums up DJ Pioneer. A DJ since the age of 17, Pioneer’s passion for music hasn’t changed one bit as his career becomes more successful. His unique mixing ability and handpicked selection is renowned for providing an electric vibe for clubbers and radio listeners across the World. 

Originally influenced by the sound system culture and then jungle music, Pioneer started collecting vinyl whilst at school before he owned a pair of decks. He is no stranger to House and Garage music. Up until 2008, Pioneer had played on several giant Pirate Radio stations including Pure Magic, London Underground, Y2K and Déjà Vu FM. Playing at legendary events such as Pure Silk, Exposure, Sun City and Pure Old Skool to name a few. Pioneer also worked at the ‘Wired for Sound’ record store in his hometown Hackney from 2001 until its closure in 2009. This helped him to understand and appreciate other genres of music more and inspire his taste for new sounds. 

Amongst others, Pioneer was responsible for bringing a new genre to the streets in 2006. UK Funky was emerging, influenced by the Soulful, Funky House and broken beats that Pioneer was playing at the time. His hard work and ever popular club sets and had not gone unnoticed and in 2008, Pioneer progressed to legal radio and joined Kiss FM. In 2009, Ministry of Sound released the compilation ‘The Sound of UK Funky’ mixed by DJ Pioneer. Pioneer featured tracks from Robin S, Ultra Nate, Crazy Cousinz and more. This received great feedback and allowed Pioneer to feature some of the tracks he was responsible for breaking into the scene. In 2010, Pioneer began producing and made his debut with a Funky House track titled ‘Stronger’ featuring Egypt which received great support from the underground, mainstream radio and Sky TV and was also performed at the London Fashion Week.  

Pioneer is now into his 7th year on the UK’s leading dance radio station, Kiss FM. In this, time, he’s championed and played tracks which have eventually progressed onto commercial radio playlists with acts such as MK, Rudimental, Dennis Ferrer, Roska, Donaeo, Kenny Dope, Black Coffee and more recently the chart topping Storm Queen

Pioneer launched his record label in 2012, SOTU (Sounds Of The Underground) Recordings. With 12 releases to date and loads in the pipeline, the label is already proving to be success as it represents the sound of the UK club scene genres from Underground House to Bass and is home to some of the finest up and coming producers. DJ Pioneer has also remixed tracks for world famous Universal Records and has also had one of his remixes signed by Puma for their Cobra Golf advertising campaign and the ‘Cobra Golf Orange Out’ iPhone app. Pioneer’s latest single ‘Circles’ stayed at no1 in the Maltese PRS charts for 3 weeks in November 2014.

Pioneer continues to headline countless clubs up and down UK and also plays at major festivals such as HD (High Definition) and made his debut at the Isle Of Wight Festival in 2014 where he played to over 75000 people on the main stage.

Internationally, Pioneer plays regularly in Ibiza, Amsterdam, Dubai, Barcelona, Marbella, Egypt, Ayia Napa, Faliraki, Kos, Kavos, Jamaica, Mallorca, The Gambia and Northern Cyprus.
