As Sasha said :"....There are DJs who turn up, play records and make people dance...".I'm one of those. ..I'm a dj... Thanks Dad….It's Friday ;)

...i'm just a composer, an author, a singer,a sound designer , an arranger and a dj producer who create and select dancefloor traxx and mixes for people who know how to use them to enlight their week end, and charts makers , aka people ,to gives them moments of emotions,of love , of joy and serenity …

I love Music...And music loves me... Since a long time...

The way i work by taking and mixing elements from across a full range of electronic sounds, from progressive to funky , from techno to deep house, from trance to ambient.,but also from rock to pop music, or from dub to reggae to compose and construct grooves and songs is givin' me , each day of my life ,the key for inspiration... .Is simple... Basic.... but it works.. At least for me..So many human experiences so many projects , so many releases gives me the taste for tryin' and re-triyng ,every day ,every kind of music with so different people from every part of the planet... I'm always been noted for being a generous guy who lives for and thru his ecclectism and his passion for music..... simply... and forever...

I borned and raised in Paris, France...I grow up into a Mean Street Martin Scorsese 's stylee area...My first approach with music was my family...My father and my uncle were playin ol' jazz repertory with a beautiful Django Reihnardt guitar and a Diatonic harmonica... those weekly magic moments were unforgetable 'cause when i was touching those six strings , trying to play all i was listening around.i discover very soon that music was my language.....

?I live in now South Italy near Naples in a very small town surrounded by mountains and humble people in a humble land called Benevento...I'm married there..And i got two amazing beautiful childs...Far from Chaos... Close to inspiration...

?Some words about some projects i made recently??

?A and J " come Back to Me " on OXYD...That was my first collaboration with Alex Fain..I heard it at the BBC one night on Pete Tong essential... Wasn't believe my ears guyz......With Alex we made also other 3-4 cutz with always lots of passion and fun for many others UK and Italian Labels..?

KEY CORPORATION " La La Funkie" I sing and produce that cut with part of Nerio's Dubwork members NARI ,released on Alex Gaudino's RISE in Italy and Scorpio in France ..We sells 80 000 single copies of it there

That song gimme my first big success..Entering sales Charts with a supa' funny video mades in St Tropez... Tour, Clubs, tv and radio shows ( M6 and TF1 250 Clip Video Airplay)…..Super moments of joy...That Disco Funky song relate a crazy session between talks , crazy singing and ol' funky disco flavours... Sort of disco to disco atmosphere with french slang american language into a bottle of Schweppes?…

There followed with a vocal collaboration for DJ SHIELD's NU FREQUENCY "808( why oh why) " on Sander kleinenberg's Little Mountain dutch label released in 2005 on numerous top 10 compilations around the planet.Acclaimed by pete tong, hernan catanneo, armin van buuren, and many more, single of the week on BBC1, that cut gives me the opportunity to reach a major audience with my voice.Selected on " 20 songs for Miami "pool on BBC1 radio for the Miami Convention 2005....?Just after that i rmade with close friends terry tam and 2020 that BEATCRUSHER project " what da f***" on Airplay-Ulm -Universal France..The song is become a lill famous 'and released on that bi-annual french dance compilation Techno.Com..My first electro breakbeat experience ...80 000 compilations copies sells..

Nice ...But...?A year after that ,legend producer Henri Belolo and his Scorpio Music 's crew in France intuitively released the song with a super sweet animated video .UN MONDE PARFAIT was born....?

TOM GLIDE ROCKS NEW YORKS JADED AUDIENCE! The party was FANTASTIC!! I had a VERY happy club owner shaking my glamourous hand at the end of the night talking about "Let's talk next week!" Repeat performance? YES! The place was packed! We invited 100 but somehow 200 people were there with a nice flow over the course of the evening. We were at full capacity & by the end of the night trying to get to the door was like trying to squeeze in on the F train at rush hour! People were standing in line outside trying to get in! I could NOT stop shaking my booty to Tom Glides incredilbly tight set! "He's good." Reggie said. Hello! I know!!! Did everyone think I was just making it up when I said he was a gold,diamond & double platinum producer?? There's a reason!! Ekayani just makes stuff up... LOL! People stayed and stayed long after Jeannie's set was done and that is a sign of a good party! Jeannie and Tom did a live mix together on my Chillin Tribal Remix that closed out Toms set. :) Good, good vibes. I had to drag my own self away at 2 AM with Ulrika because I only have to go out clubbing and mingling again tonight and Sunday night and Monday night... LOL with TG. We are meeting the community and those who shape it:) We had a diverse crowd with folks from London,France and a random group of people into Trance doing a "meet up" in the house. All I could think of this morning was "I want to do it again!" it was so much fun! And we will...in January-ish! Thanks all of you who came out and stopped by (Rocky, Jane, Curly Karen, Casey Cyr who was so glammed up a la Joey Heatherton) including Mike McHugh who wasn't quite sure what was going on but I am going to make him hip to the dance community which is enourmous! Label lounge is an elegant spot with black decor and red glow from candles that went perfectly with my glittery red baseball cap, transparent red and black "Buddhist Punk" chemise, plaid (very short) jumper with black "holy" stockings showcasing mile long legs. (I heard some funny pick up lines from guys claiming to be "producers" but I won't be singing on any of their tracks soon.) Christopher of Christopher Drummond Beauty painted my face so fiercely I was told that I looked like a "Goddess among goddesses!" by Lauren O'Brien. I came home and admired myself in my bathroom mirror and his artistry for a half hour before removing my makeup lol... Ford and Al Rohdes were bewildered and kept asking: "You are not performing tonight??" Now that's a compliment:) but I think the ep cleared up the confusion. It was a LISTENING PARTY for the new disc and we have more tracks on the way and I thank Eva & Ulrika for getting up on the dance floor! But we are brainstorming with Jeannie Hopper and Deep Dance Promotions to find a way to do MORE Performance so watch out as I may emerge as an electro gliterrati butterfly in my next incarnation! PHOTOS: Hope to have some photos for you soon from the night as Shell Sheddy rock photog extraordinaire was there last night blinding us all with her flash. We've been trained for papparazzi now, right? Love and Stuff, Ekayani Ekayani.com p.s As for when I am performing

Several other gigs ( Dublin , Hanover, SF , Buenos Aires , Detroit , Lisbon , Rome , Los Angeles ,Geneva , Zurich , Paris ( 2 dates) ) are arriving and confirmed day after day ….

I wanna dedicate all that to my wicked Daddy who has reached the eternity and the sea elements the 19th of April 2007…Was a free and joyous man…And now , whenever waves he surfs on…he looks at me and…. smiles…For sure ;)))

Thanks Dad..

Light and Luv
