MUSIC > East Coast Boogiemen
The last 10 years of diligent work has paid off for Ken Christensen and Juan Zapata, otherwise known as East Coast Boogiemen (or ECB for short). As touring DJs they have been booked throughout the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, Norway, Germany, UK, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Columbia, Korea and Brazil. Their endless releases of mixed promotional tapes and expansive fan base had them playing across the globe before they ever had an actual record release. Both of them were DJs before they met in 1997 and both experienced producers and trained musicians. These skills naturally led them to create their own music as well as launching their own Washington DC based record label Odds and Ends Music (founded in 2002) and The Junkyard Studio's (1997). Their current productions can be found across 22 Major and Independent Music labels throughout the world.
ECB have appeared in various publications including URB Magazine, Mix Mag, BPM Magazine, Remix, DJ Magazine, XLR8R, Huge Magazine, Plan 9 Magazine, Inner Loop Magazine and many others. They were voted as one of the Next 100 DJs in 2000 by URB Magazine…a sentiment that has remained true these last 4 years as they remain cutting edge producers, remixers and djs.
ECB have produced a plethora of music on international labels: Aroma (Belgium), Amenti (SF), Lowdown (San Diego), Brique Rouge (France), Classic (London), Afterschool (Los Angeles), Moonshine (Los Angeles), Select (Dallas), Peaches (Chicago), Oomph (Toronto), Deep Funk (Los Angeles), Nightshift (SF), Tequila Sound (DC), Planetary (VA) and Far East (Korea).
Remix Credits include work on labels such as: Vanguard (LA), Astralwerks (NY), Amenti (Belgium), Robsoul (France), Safe In Sound (SF), Diesel Traxx (SF), Dust Traxx (Chicago), Aftershcool (LA), Aroma (Belgium), Brique Rouge (France) and Odds and Ends Music (DC).
Their music has also been licensed to such great CD's as: Mark Farina and Derrick Carter "Live At OM" on Om records (SF), Jay J and Miguel Migs "West Coast Sessions" on NRK (England), DJ Heather "Dancefloor Principles" on Nordic Trax (Vancouver), DJ Heather "International AllStars" on Mix Magazine (UK), Kwality Batofar on Families (Paris), Brique Rouge 3 "May The Brique Be With You" on Brique Rouge (France), Planetary 9 on Planetary Records (VA), M3 "Live at Washington DC" on Monkeystyle Music (Washington DC).
