   About ERIK RUG





I djay since dec 1978.
Specialised people, books, mags, djs, journalists say im one of top french house and electro music pioneer - Let’s say i was at the right spot the right time. I’ve basically followed my instinct and was always very confident in my musical tastes.
I produce records, remixes & compilations for various labels under diverse monikers such as Daphreephunkateerz - Dirty Jesus - Tommy Lobo - Waxworks - Low Tone Priority - 2frenchmen - The Dreadless Soldier - The Spliffheadz - The Plastics or...Erik Rug.
I like to open my ears and i have very ecclectic tastes in music, same with litterature or movies...i love design, photo, architecture, sociology...
I’m into healthy food, gave up with chemicals, booze, cigs and only smoke natural...
I m a huge soccer fan. Paris St Germain is my team for the good and more oftenly for the worst - cant watch them play much as I got rid of my colour tv. This, beeing part of my brain reconstruction process.
I’ve launched a nu record label " Les Disques du Telegraphe " - march 2006 and i still press vinyl ! My music is also available on digital music stores..Itunes, Fnac, Beatport etc..

I run a parisian weekly mix - "Waxgroove" ( black music orientated), on a mainstream dance music station called Radio FG - sunday night 00-01 am french time - www.radiofg.com - I’m playing old & nu school soul- funk- jazz- hop- dub- afro- boogie and the rarest underground cutz that would normally NEVER fit on FGs playlist. I throw my beats to thousands of teenagers who would generally go for mainstream house and r’n’b. I get great response from listeners and this is so emulating.
I also promote the "Waxgroove Party" at Nouveau Casino/ Paris.
The party now exists for 9 years and is still evergrowing every time...

In my teenage years i was a punk and rock’n’roll music is a territory i’ve never stopped to explore...i also promote the OINK! party at Nouveau Casino with guest live bands - i can express there my darker side by playing obscur 80’s post-punk records with current electro & rock productions.

WARNING: to read the whole bio - can be exhaustive...not that i am pretentious but getting older every year is a process i cant stop - jump to my blog section...
Peace.

ER.

Yo Erik Rug!

La Zulu Nation France présente la soirée « Soul of a Zulu ».

Aux platines, un duo d’excellence : Grand Master Deenasty (Zulu Nation/ Disques Pirates/ Génération 88.2 FM) et son digne héritier, le King Dj Suspect (Zulu Nation/ Trad Vibe).

A travers leur sélection Hip Hop, Funky Breaks, Soul, Jazz Funk, Jazz-rock, & more... ils distilleront les valeurs fondatrices de la culture Hip Hop: « Peace, Unity, Love and Havin’ Fun !»

Le tout pour notre plus grand bonheur vinylique et un dancefloor très inspiré.

So Brothers and Sisters, accrochez vos sourires, ouvrez grand vos cœurs et vos oreilles, révisez vos pas de danse… et laissez vous emporter par l’esprit Zulu !

Peace
