Yeah yeah yeah.... REACH is back for a full on summer gig after Mantua festival. DnB in Dublin is rare this summer so we've dipped into our bag of favorite DJ 's and pulled out EGRES , Straight from Barca...
Quick bio from his burd ;D
On support on the night we have RICKYFORCE who is one of the best Dnb / jungle DJ's Ireland has to offer.. Check his tunes on his Myspaz, the man has skills.. and kickin off the night we have SAFETYBOY droppin a Dubstep set for a bit of variation on the night.Sergio Villarroel moved to New Jersey (U.S.A.) from Barcelona in 1986 at the age of 10 where he was introduced to Hip Hop, Reggae, House and Techno music culture. Ray Keith..s ‘Terrorist’ and Deep Blue’s ‘Helicopter’ brought all of his musical influences together, capturing his junglist beginnings. Through house parties, special dj friends and an ear for new sounds, he was inspired to find his nitch.
Sergio aka EGRES began djing professionally in 1997 playing radios, house parties, raves and clubs in the New York/New Jersey area including Camouflage, Recess, Konkrete Jungle, Aperature, Push, Direct Drive, Acupuncture, Testpress and NYC Jungle Radio. Through his hard work, he gained his residency at Testpress, one of New York’s longest running Drum and Bass parties. Egres’s dj talent covers all of the sub-genres of Drum and Bass from Leftfield to Jump-up in an intense and smooth rolling style that focuses on melody capturing the heart of the dance floor.
Currently, egres represents the independent, eclectic drum and bass label Offshore Recordings as the only "International DJ" included in their roster. Offshore Recs. includes artists like Deep Blue, Paradox, Seba, ASC, Graphic, Sileni, Martsman and Tundra, collaborations with Ohm Resistance, Hotflush Records, Klute's Commercial Suicide label and worldwide distribution through ST Holdings. Knowledge Magazine, BBC Radio 1xtra, Drum & Bass Arena, BPM, XLR8R and Simon Reynolds have all recognized and praised the label's progress. 2007 brings bigger and better things for Offshore and egres. He is also part of ‘NuBe9’, playing their parties and radio shows with Mc Stormy. His ear for new sounds led him to the position as the Drum and Bass buyer at Galaktika Records in Gracia (Barcelona).
Finally back to where it all started, egres has plans and is working on projects to bring fresh energy to the Spanish Jungle/Drum and Bass scene with the formation of his group SURCO. He established the first "SURCO SESSIONS" in June 2006 with dj MARTYN as the first of many guests and just recently produced the very first 100% DUBSTEP session in Barcelona with dj SCUBA as the special guest. He also started the highly respected weekly-sessions, "DEEP JUNGLE", that bring forth a maturer DnB sound to Barcelona like never seen before. Now embarking into new musical territories like DUBSTEP as well, EGRES is looking towards a bright future. Check out his internet links for all news.
