Eli Escobar is the quintessential New York City DJ. A devoted collector, explorer and connoisseur of all kinds of music from hip-hop roots, he is hugely well-respected in the New York club circuit after over two decades of mutual love for the city and the house scene. Most at home hunched over the decks at some jumping club on a Brooklyn backstreet, he also has production magic at his fingertips. While growing up in Manhattan Eli worked for a time in a record shop, soaking up the sounds of New York’s clubbing epicentre which strongly informed his take on dance music and the shape of his four albums.

Keeping him busy outside of the studio is Tiki Disco, a party he co-runs which was started in 2009 in New York. Now holding pop-ups around the globe, Tiki Disco events are juggled around Eli’s residencies at New York institutions Le Bain and Battlehymn. His diary also includes solo parties at Good Room, House of Yes, and further afield at clubs in Detroit, Boston, Miami and San Francisco. Internationally Eli plays at the likes of Phonox in London, Lux in Lisbon, Panorama Bar in Berlin, and key venues in Paris, Madrid, Tokyo, Manchester, Dublin and various hotspots in Asia and Australia
