DJ JELO April 30th Kamloops @ Grasshoppers
BOODANG MUSIC CANADA PROUDLY PRESENTS DJ JELO
He has remixed pop stars, produced great tracks and performed around the globe. He is known as ’The people’s DJ’ and one of the fastest beatmatchers live on decks amongst Canadians. A character that is an electronic music kitchen sink that has become a trailblazing influence on the floors, the streets, in people’s cars and homes. His live shows are simply dazzling. The DJ known only as Jelo is a leader in North America’s electronic music movement and an innovator and ambassador to all things hard and funky in Canada. Since his days supplying the heartbeat of Toronto’s dancefloors in Eastern Bloc records to the most obscure clubs in the cozy corners of his Country one thing has become obvious - Experiencing these awe-inspired and interactive sets, regarded legendary by many, is what makes the Jelo experience different than that found with the average DJ.
His straightforward ’take the bull by the horns’ approach towards music and performing has kept Jelo amongst the top echelons of DJs in Canada. His style of presentation is unique and bridges the gap between audience and performer. Jelo becomes one with the audience and uses his uncanny abilities to read a floor, any floor, regardless of where he is. The young DJ brought about this awareness of ’new’ music that is often refered to as ’banging house, electro, electro house and techno’ to be a fashionable asset. Canada had no clue what hit them ! He was the first DJ in the Toronto clubs to usher in Speed Garage, Hard House, Nu Skool sounds and never sticking to one genre. He was constantly mashing things up. An innovator of moving sounds, even Eye Magazine awarded him the prestigious "most innovative DJ" award in their yearly DJ pools. Incorporating the spiciest elements of house, techno, breaks and rock blended with wild mixing abilities gives this DJ the distinction of all-around artist, entertainer, and performer. No stranger to travel he has dazzled thousands in Greece, England, Dubai, Taiwan, Coast to Coast in the USA and every major urban centre in his home country of Canada. There is not one venue that can resist Jelo, big or small, at anytime, anywhere.
Always maintaining the underground cool and respect of his peers Jelo refuses to compromise his musical principles. He exudes the authenticity of someone truly involved in a rhythmical love affair with music. The knowledge of artists and record labels is surpassed only by his natural drive to spread the joy these sounds has brought him. Always learning and always improving, the future for Jelo is guided by an awesome natural intensity, an astonishing musical dedication and a drive to change the world- one beat at a time.
