Total Eclipse is an original member of New York City's legendary elite DJ collective, the X-ECUTIONERS/ILL INSANITY CREW. At the early age. It was apparent that Total Eclipse was destined to become one of Hip-Hop's greatest DJ's.
At first he began to emulate his heroes on the wheels of steel but quickly moved forward, developing a style all his own. Fresh off a worldwide tour with his group and establishing him self the 1st time as a soloist Down Under in Australia for the Good Vibrations Festival and Auckland New Zealand with Specialized party mixing some of the hottest music genres incorporated with scratching turntable theatrics creating the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!.
Coming out of a close-knit Brooklyn Hip Hop community, his skills on the turntables earned him the reputation to become the go-to DJ for groups such as Organized Konfusion (comprised of Prince Poetry, and Pharoahe Monch, WuTang's own Inspector Deck, The Gza, Killa Priest and even worked with other artist like The very successful, Brooklyn-native artists Jay-Z during the birth of ROCAFELLA RECORDS, before both their careers reached commercial success.
Total Eclipse's mission was to make the world feel his presence on the ones and twos. He entered legendary record shop in Brooklyn, Beat Street Records' DJ Battle, and took home the first place gold bronzed Technics 1200 turntable prize. Dominating the DJ battle scene, he went up against the best in the world, going after one of the most prestigious titles in the DJ world in the International Turntablist Federation (ITF) world championship battle. As a heavy favorite going into this competition, he didn't disappoint, and etched his name in DJ history as the 1st ITF World Champion DJ in 1996. With this outstanding accomplishment, came another career defining moment on the same stage when X-Men leaders ROC RAIDA, MISTA SINISTA, AND ROB SWIFT officially inducted Total Eclipse as an official member of the X-MEN. With the high international demand of the all-star DJ collective, shortly after Total Eclipse's induction, the X-Ecutioners' show hit the road, visiting all major 4 continents, as well as the Caribbean Islands.
As a member of the X-Ecutioners, Total Eclipse went from DJ to recording artist, releasing the group's independent success, X-Pressions the next year. Taking his craft to the next level, he and the group went on to sign a multi-album deal with Steve Rifkind's Loud Records imprint, releasing their major debut, Built From Scratch. "The 1st ever turntables group signed to a major label." The eclectic album, all made by turntables and artist collaborations Such as the hit song It's goin Down featuring Mike Shinoda was a major success topping the charts at 1 for a week straight, earning the Hip Hop DJ icons commercial recognition. Now with their mainstream appeal, the group appeared in numerous major tours like Eminem's famed Anger Management Tour, Linkin Park's Project Revolution Tour and the Word of Mouth Tour.
Today, Total Eclipse continues to be one of the most sought after DJs. Whether it's rocking a hot party for Corporate companies like Maxim, Nike, and MTV, BET or manning the turntables on stage or in the clubs and developing mind-blowing performances with hot talents like Miri Ben-Ari (Universal Records), Taking part of Representing at annual events like THE ROCKSTEADY ANNIVERSARY, ZULU ANNIVERSARY, ROCK THE BELLS for true Hip Hop heads, he continues to take his craft to the next level everyday by delevoping amazon club sets/showcase routines. What separates TOTAL ECLIPSE from the rest is his diverse style to appeal to the masses showing he's a true Internationally known legend of his craft!!!!
ABOUT ILL INSANITY -
What do DJs Rob Swift, Precision, and Total Eclipse have in common?
The letter X... as in X-ecutioners! Now, a decade since the conception of the worlds most accomplished DJ crew, these three champions of an art called "Turntablism" are beginning a new chapter in their careers. Their emphasis is to start from scratch (pun intended) and break down all imitations. "We're training our minds to forget and abandon
everything we've learned about DJing to this point" according to Rob Swift. Total Eclipse adds "When we get together to create routines, we start from nothing and see where the vibe in the room takes us." Precision caps it off by saying "The long hours we dedicate to practice usually leads to some real crazy routines." Thus, the inspiration to call the themselves ILL INSANITY.

oh babe....so sorry for your loss. Nadia put up some flics of all of us in New Orleans on facebook. Really sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose someone close to you. He was a legend and he will be missed. You are in my prayers.
Just wanted to send my condolances out to you. Met you at Wheels of Steel weekend in Cleveland last year. You and Rob have been in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you're doing well, and I love this pic of Raida with the angel wings. Beautiful! Another amazing talent gone too soon.
RIP to our boy Raida. From the moment I met you cats at PowerPlay back in the day that mofo has been an inspiration to me. It was an honor to know and work with him over all these years. Our thoughts are with you guys and his fam.
We are organizing some big benefit shows for him here in AUS. Gonna raise some money to send through to his fam. Least we can do...
