Evan Rhodes can be described by one word: Pioneering. Coming from a musical background in the northern suburbs of Detroit, he picked up a guitar at an early age. From there he learned the keys, and soon after, discovered the art of DJing. What sets him apart from the pack is the way he incorporates all these things together to give him his unique and signature sound. He has taken DJing and moved it up a notch by adding a smooth blend of live guitar and synthesizers, over glitchy, funky house music.
Evan landed his first residency in 1998 at the Velvet Lounge, home to such world renowned greats as Terrance Parker and DJ Godfather. It was here that he polished his skills as a DJ and learned what it meant to be in control of a crowd. Since then, his skills have brought him everywhere from Chicago, to New York, to Toronto, showing people what the energy of a Detroit-bred artist is all about.
Evans Production work landed him a write-up in Billboard magazine and a nomination for a Detroit Music Award. He has released 2 e.ps a handful of singles, and a 12, as well as a slew of mix CDs . Currently he is in his new recording studio working on a full length album slated for release in 2006, so keep an eye on this self-taught multi-instrumentalist as he is poised to take the electronic music world by storm.

Just hitting you up in case you or your dj friends missed getting a copy of the vinyl-only release of Scott K. vs. The O'Jays "I Love Music" on BOXMUSIC.
I'm doing a very limited re-run of them. If you live in a major city you may be able to find a couple of copies in your local record store. Or you can google Scott K BOXMUSIC and probably come up with a store or two that may have some left. If you're in the UK or Europe Vinyl Junkies is a good place to check. If you're in the US, check out OPUSRECORDS.COM - they will definitely be getting a good amount.
Don't sleep....this record packs ALL floors....for real. It's been worked in house clubs all over the world by most of house music's biggest dj's (Timmy regisford, Frankie Knuckles, Miguel Migs, and Roy Davis Jr., just to name a few), and even in hip-hop clubs by legends like Jazzy Jeff and Afrika Bambaataa. Trust, it works.
SCOTT K. vs. THE O'JAYS
"I LOVE MUSIC"
Scott K.'s "True To The Old School" Classic Mix b/w The S2 (Slick Dada & Scott K.) Big-Room Dub
JULIUS PAPP: "Got Your O'Jays track...it's slammin'!...played it and people love it!...you know I mentioned that I have an edit of it myself, but your mix takes it to the next level with you incorporating E-Man...big thanks for the hookup!...can't wait to hear the Souvenirs track!"
MARQUES WYATT: "You should've seen the heads twisting to this in Detroit! The O'Jays might as well have been on stage." "I Love Music is flooring them in Canada." "I'm in London. Timmy Regisford is rocking your O'Jays remix right now."
ROY DAVIS JR.: "Meet me tonight. I need another copy of the O'Jays record. People keep jacking it. The track is killin' em. We gotta find a way to get this on my mix CD for Large."
MIGUEL MIGS: "Nice Work! I like it alot and I've been playing it out."
DOC MARTIN: "I love it. Send me a second copy so I can mix between the two mixes."
STACY KIDD: "Just had to send you some love on those CD's you sent me, that shit is nice!!!! That I Love Music was really hot." STACY KIDD to HALO @ WMC: "Have you heard this yet? It's crazy, you gotta play this shit now. Take my copy." [Halo dropped it on the spot and the 1000+ dancers went crazy]
GENE FARRIS (@WMC): "I played it three times today. And they're loving it in Europe so you know that shit is hot."
NEIL ALINE (CEO CHEZ REC.): "Hey man, been playing the hell out of your edit/mix of the O'Jays! And they're going crazy over it in Japan. Cheers!"
URB MAGAZINE: "This platter's cocky lead-in [referring to Chris Rock interlude] is just the opener to a spread of tasty treats, all with drums so warm and live it's easy to forget you're listening to something electronic." (pull quote sent by mag - look for full review in May or June issue of URB)
WMC 2006 Miami, FL: We heard the track dropped at some of WMC's biggest House events, including events thrown by Large Records, OM Records, Timmy Regisford, and Ben Watt...we caught it being played by Roy Davis Jr., Julius Papp, Neil Aline, Lego, Halo, Gene Farris, Stacy Kidd, Lady D., DJ Heather, Andy Caldwell, Jask, Donald Glaude, Marques Wyatt, and few
