Eric Jerome was born in Brooklyn, NY and spent his youth in and around Long Island, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Creative from an early age he found outlets for his creativity through skateboarding, playing bass & keyboards in various bands, working on artwork and going on graffiti writing missions.

But it wasn't until the early 90's when a few Dj friends of his (Billy Anfolisi, Onionz & Jason Nevins) started introducing him to DJing house, dance and break beat records. That's when Eric found he could combine his own style of hip-hop, new wave and punk with house music to create his own unique sound. Eric's list of influences ranges from 80's new wave, Disco, Hip Hop, Funk and all forms of "electronic music"; as Eric says "digging in the crates is a religion." Taking bits and pieces of these grooves and embellishing them with his own style soon became his trademark. His style of mixing and production was right in sync with the sound in the clubs and on the streets at the time.

Growing up in NYC during the rise of the rave scene and warehouse parties he was able to immerse himself in the sounds of legendary DJs and artists such as Frankie Bones, Onionz, Todd Terry, Little Louie Vega, Dee-Lite, Junior Vasquez, New Order, the Ramones, Parliament, Larry Levan, Kenny Dope, MAW, Frankie Knuckles, etc. So it's no surprise his style is a combination of all these influences along with his own vision of the future of house and electro music.

It was through his DJing connections that he got his first taste of pure hip-hop production back in the winter of '93 when he teamed up with producer Andre Neal (Black Sheep, K-solo, Etc.) who gave him the chance to work on tracks and hone his skills as a producer and musician.

This led to jobs for such prominent studios as Tiki Hut (Long Island) and Giant Recording (NYC). As an engineer Eric has had the opportunity to work with both live bands and MC's, which has helped him develop the varied style he is known for. It was while working at various studios that he decided to concentrate his efforts on pursuing a full time career as a House DJ and producer.

In 1999 Eric relocated to Los Angeles, CA and started his own multimedia design company - Potent Design Lab. While working as a Graphic Artist and Multimedia Designer he met some influential club promoters and DJs. This led to DJ residencies and guest slots spinning at clubs in NY (Marquee), LA(Vanguard, Vice, LAX, Ritual, Avalon, Air Conditioned, The Standard), San Diego (The Ivy, On Broadway, The Standard) and Las Vegas(TAO). Due to his ability to read crowds and spin all genres he has been the "go to" DJ to perform opening sets for some of the world's biggest DJs including Carl Cox, Benny Benassi, Steve Aoki, Jason Bentley, Boys Noize, DJ Dan, Richard Vission, Felix The Housecat, Tommie Sunshine, LMFAO, Hypercrush, Tina T.

As well as producing tracks as a solo artist Eric produces and performs electro house under the moniker STEREOTRONIX with his DJ partner Sergio "$uperfox" Aguirre. He is also the DJ/producer for electro/hip hop group PINK TIE MAFIA and dub reggae group IRONI featuring Isreal Joseph (Bad Brains) on vocals.
With an established recording history and 20+ years of stellar live shows in the music scene on both coasts of the US his career speaks for itself. He continues to create, innovate, entertain and consistently rocks crowds wherever he plays. Now with releases scheduled for such prominent labels as Electrik Soul, Dust Traxx and Toolroom his future in the world of House music looks brighter than ever. 

Chicago-based drummer, specializing in funk, rock, and soul jazz.  I'm always interested in networking with like-minded musicians.  Check out my long-running collaboration with multi instrumentalist Heath Zeiger on YouTube under “Green Tee Chaos”.

JD Sawyer is a Colorado based guitar player and composer primarily focusing on Jazz, Rock, Instrumental and ambient music. Over his career JD has played with a wide variety of artists in the R&B, Rock, Jam, and Pop genres. 
 JD earned his B.A. in music from Hobart College in 1992. During this time he led a NY based rock fusion group called Gooseberry Jam. Following college, JD was accepted into the Jazz performance program at the New School in Manhattan, NY. Upon moving to Colorado in 1996, he founded the popular Colorado jam band, Manatee Junction (later shortened to Manatee). Their first album, Dex, is a crafty mix of jam rock tunes laden with more sophisticated chord harmonies and changes. 

While Manatee was in full swing, JD was also the lead guitar player in the Ryan Tracy Band. RTB was a pop rock powerhouse featuring Ryan Tracy and Anitra Carr on vocals. Their mix of vocal stylings, harmonies and songwriting created a sound unlike any other band in Colorado. RTB was a mainstay at popular clubs in the late 90s and 2000s such as the Soiled Dove. Their second album, Rain Won’t Stop, was recorded by Danny Seraphine of Chicago.    

In 2003, after becoming fairly exhausted with the jam band scene, Manatee decided to pivot and focus on creating strictly instrumental and improvisational music. This period was a refreshing change, and the band reformed as a four piece called the Gary Players. The Gary Players played clubs all over Denver such as Citrus, Blue 67, and 5151 playing relaxed grooves without the need to put on a “show”. This pure freedom in playing was one of the most rewarding and prolific periods of music. Three albums were recorded during this time, Albatross I, Albatross II and Flow Forget. Flow Forget, the seminal record from this period, is a beautiful stream of musical consciousness that perfectly captured the flowing improvisation and listening that was happening. This music was never played again; thus the name Flow Forget. 

 Later musical projects included a reformation of Manatee with a new lead singer followed by the band, Schmocter. Schmocter represented a great balance of jam rock combined with pseudo pop songs such as FJ ‘72, Shubalai and Dirty Mess. Various live recordings of each of these groups and songs can be heard in the album section. 

 In 2007 longtime drummer Dan Luehring, formed an ambitious musical project called the Shadow Sessions. The Shadow Sessions embarked on recreating the groundbreaking album Endtroducing by DJ Shadow as a completely live show. This hip hop, jazz fusion masterpiece was created almost entirely with samples from Vinyl records, and is considered a landmark recording in instrumental hip hop. The Shadow Sessions group meticulously worked out every detail of these complex arrangements to bring the entire record to the live stage. Garnering critical acclaim in Colorado, The Shadows Sessions went on to California and played to a packed house at the Great American Musical Hall in 2008. 
 JD’s last musical project before a long hiatus was playing with the Love Royale, a soul R&B group performing originals and covers in the Denver metro area. The Love Royale was fronted by vocalist, Heather Larrabee and supported by Jon Wirtz (keys), Kyle Jones (bass) and David Petry (drums). The Love Royale was awarded best R&B band at the Westword Music Awards in 2011. 
 Playing in bands slowed down for JD following the birth of his twins while simultaneously starting a new business, The Aquaponic Source, which he and his wife Tawnya are still engaged in today. Starting in 2025, JD has a renewed focus to put more time and energy into writing, playing and developing the next phase of his music career so stay tuned for more to come!
