DJ E.Decay // About me

DJ E.Decay has been a Breakbeat/Jungle DJ since 1991 and is one of Germany’s Drum ‘n’ Bass scene pioneers. He has performed many unforgettable sets on major raves such as MEDITATION,Kings of the Jungle,Slammin Vinyl, Warning, Battel ot the Mcs, Jungle Fever,MC Convention, Future, Nature One, One Nation, Desire, Devotion, AWOL, to name only a few and has also given performances in clubs all over Germany & Europe

In 1994 he was already resident DJ in the legendary Vibration Club (Forst Heidesee/ near Karlsruhe [GER]), which had a strong influence in the development of the German Drum&Bass Jungle Scene. Almost every weekend, he spun the discs with DJs such as “Hype”, “Grooverider”, “LTJ Bukem”, “Brian G”, “Roni Size” and “Andy C” on and on among others in the club. Shortly afterwards, the Vibration team initiated the party serial MEDITATION, where E.Decay was involved as musical consultant and as DJ. The Meditation Party Series became quickly THE major Drum&Bass Event in Germany with 4000 – 5000 visitors per Event and did set standards for others to follow….

In 1996 E.Decay together with his long time partner and friend Oliver Bendig aka OCB decided to start their own Label “U3R Music”, which within short time turned out to be one of the most successful underground labels of the German Drum and Bass scene.
Biggest Release sofar was the collebration with Bad Company vs. U3R – Mo’Fire.& the Roni Size Mix of “Helpless”

E.Decay played already all over Europe to promote his own Label and his latest releases.

In 1999, during a promotion tour for a U3R Music release called „Lost in Bass“, E.Decay started to work very close with The Ragga Twins, MC Navigator (Freestylers, UK), MC Spyda, Daddy Freddy. The Artists knew each other from the Meditation Events and they realized that they work excellent together and planned further collaborations. In early 2000 the RAWHILL CRU (E.Decay, OCB, Royce, and Krasq’n) produced a track called „Consciousness is what we promote“with vocals from MC Navigator, which became a massive underground dance floor hit..

In March 2003 the Rawhill Cru released, under the leadership of E.Decay the long awaited Ragga/ Jungle Tune “Mo’Fire”, which features the vocal talents of Navigator, $pyda, The Ragga Twins, Shabba D., Tenor Fly and Soultrain. This was the biggest collaboration of Jungle MC’s ever and it entered the UK Dancecharts at No.1 and the UK Sales Charts at No.24.
