The multitasking DJ, producer and MC known as PEACE JUSTICE
UNIVERSAL (aka dj.eurok) is a hip hop artist based in
Washington DC. His independent movement, UPSET THE
SETUP, seeks to empower artists and communities through a
DO IT YOURSELF approach to the development and
promotion of positive culture. The hip hop music he creates
has been described as original, forward-thinking, and relevant
to life in the present times.
A fixture in his local music scene, PJ has been a guest and resident DJ
as well as featured performer at a number of venues in DC including
The 9:30 Club, Club 5, The Black Cat, Nation, Local 16, and The
Ritz. In 2004 he was nominated by the Washington Area
Music Association for both the Electronica and the Hip Hop DJ of the Year
awards – the first dual genre DJ of the year nomination in WAMA
history. Whether spinning records around town, producing beats
or rocking shows – PJ has built many relationships with artists
in the thriving local music scenes. As a producer and stage DJ
for Head-Roc
he has been an integral part of the progressive hip hop
movement emerging from the Nation’s Capital. They have
performed together at a number of progressive events, anti-war
protests and peace rallies including 2005’s Operation
Ceasefire on the National Mall.
An artist with global aspirations, PJ was a selected
participant at the 2004 Redbull
Music Academy in Roma, Italy. He has traveled in Europe and
Latin America and his self produced original releases have received
radio play on globally recognized stations including NPR (USA), Radio 1xtra (UK),
Triple J (Australia) and NRK
(Norway.) The limited edition vinyl pressings of these
releases have found their way into boutique record
stores in Brooklyn, Tokyo, London, San Francisco, Barcelona
and many other cities.
PEACE JUSTICE is currently recording a number of projects
including the forthcoming hip hop album WATCHING THEM DECEIVE.
After a few months of steady rotation in Australia "This is DC" peaked at 7 on the Triple J Radio most requested chart in June! Big ups to my peeps down under for all the support and much respect to Ian Mackaye for making that connect for me and a FREE DC!
