Erik Jabari

Erik Jabari is a DJ and producer, raised in Berlin and Wuppertal. As a child, he was already surrounded by reggae, dubstep and early techno. This paved his way to learning classical music theory and clarinet, but finding more interest in jazz than classical music. Inspired by the possibilities of making whole tracks with more than just one instrument, he began producing hip hop and electronic dance music. As an employee at Hard Wax, the Berlin record store institution, he has continuously shaped his sound over the last few years. His music is techno centered with influences from house, dubstep, UKG and drum n bass. In his productions you can feel his appreciation of the origins of electronic music, which helped him to find his own modern sound. His DJ sets are techno-centered, driving and powerful, but also subtle and elegant.
