BIOGRAPHY 

Eric Small (NO)

A true veteran of the electronic underground, Eric Small has been shaping the scene for more than three decades. DJ, producer, and founder of Small Records (Oslo), his sound flows seamlessly between techno, house, and minimal—always with a deep groove and timeless energy.

Eric’s musical journey began back in 1986, and he quickly made a name for himself as Small MC with the legendary rap crew Warlocks. In 1993 he co-founded Valuable Scamps, who famously opened for Naughty By Nature at Oslo Spektrum—becoming the first rap group ever to perform on that iconic stage.

By the early 90s, his love for house and techno took over, and from 1991 onward it became his artistic home. Since then, Eric has performed at some of the most important club destinations worldwide—Ibiza, Miami (WMC), Berlin, Barcelona (Off Sonar), Andorra (Horizon Festival), Gran Canaria (Space residency, 1997)—bringing his raw and hypnotic sets to thousands of dancers.

In 2009, he co-created Grooveyard Festival with Frederico Fiasco, which ran successfully until 2012, closing with a powerful edition at Latter, Aker Brygge, featuring heavyweights like Pig & Dan, Martin Dawson (RIP), M.E.M.O, and Attaboy.

On stage, Eric often teams up with his wife and DJ partner Carina Helen. Together they’ve brought explosive energy to clubs and festivals across Europe—rocking crowds in Spain, Andorra, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Denmark, Berlin, and of course, Ibiza.

Eric is also the creative force behind Apodyopsis, a live project with Mudman, Jacob Rypdal (guitar), and Mads Con Sax (saxophone). Known for their electrifying performances and cutting-edge remixes, Apodyopsis has reworked international artists like Oblique Industries and Gee Van D.

As co-owner and booker of Elefant Club (2016–2018), Eric helped transform the historic Skansen venue in Oslo into a hotspot for electronic music, curating unforgettable nights and hosting world-class artists.

Over the years, Eric Small has shared the booth with some of the scene’s biggest names—John Digweed, Damian Lazarus, Matt Tolfrey, Christian Burkhardt, SLG, Oxia, Pig & Dan, M.A.N.D.Y.—proving time and again why he remains a trusted selector and respected figure in global electronic culture.
