Eliazar has been spinning music around the globe while collecting tunes on his travels here and there since the tender age of 13. It all began with a high school radio station in the outskirts of Chicago (WDGC) with roots in Punk, Industrial, and New Wave. The inevitable procession of discoverng and researching of all types of music has kept him roving bins of record shops everywhere he turns. Now that so much of the amazing tracks being produced worldwide will never see the light of day on a slab of vinyl, the shift from being strictly turntable based has now turned to the digital age as well.
From residencies all over the globe - Tocca a Te (Osaka), Ultra (Hiroshima), Heaven (Christchurch, NZ), Crush/Holocene/Aalto/Nightlight/Goodfoot (Portland, OR), Rialto (Long Beach, CA), Divan Orange (Montreal, QC), and gigs in places as diverse as Tokyo, Chang Mai, Punta Cana, Turks and Cacaos, Chicago, Vancouver, Minneapolis, LA, Victoria, Seattle, Montreal, etc.
Eliazar has also been doing radio ever since those high school days in Portland (KLC, KPSU, KPRA) Victoria(CFUV), and recently on Radio23.org, and online worldwide streaming station.
Tracks have been made and released under the names: EQ! (with Joselito Sering), Nomadic Noize, Snowballs (a full band with Shayla Hason, JT Weber, and Joe Partika), Mushroom Lounge (with Levon Louis), Stab Ability (with John Hill), and now Eliazar. The productions have always had a link to sounds recorded on the global travels, and try to bring a new take on differing styles of electronic beats, field recordings, and live instrumentation.
Always striving for his own style and groove you can expect to hear a totally eclectic array of tunes in each mix; from Dub, Electro Swing, World, Balkan, Middle Eastern, Brazilian, Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Electronica, Downtempo, Indie, Punk, kids, and others. The ethno - groove-mesh is always changing form, shape, and aural color as each new style of music is discovered, dug, and new influences and tunes are found. Always interested in what the world has to offer, Eliazar is up to dance all night, and cause you to do the same.
Look forward to a new album being released this summer under the Stab Abitlity monkier, and and EP of electro-swing tracks as well.
