Ken (ECB) House / Downtempo
 |
Underground pop artist Ken “ECB” Christensen is more than a producer, songwriter, musician and DJ. He is devoted to all multi-platform media from cultures around the globe. Dissecting and analyzing the way people hear, see and think, Ken has developed a true knack for giving his audience an intriguing ride — whether in a club, online, or in an art gallery. Beginning from when he was a young child, Ken had an inquisitive mind that was perpetually tearing things apart in an attempt to see what was inside and how they worked. This curious nature set the stage for his adult life. He was a sax player at the age of 8, a drummer by the age of 12, and a guitar player by the age of 15. Music has always been his first love, and in the mid-eighties he discovered the sublime relationship between technology and sound… and it was a match made in heaven.
Ken is most notorious for being a global House DJ and music producer. In the last 12 years he has managed five labels: Tequilasound, founded in 1999; Odds and Ends Music, founded in 2002; Mama’s Home Cookin, founded in 2002; The Phantom, founded in 2006; and the currently operating, Alphabet Music.
His music has been licensed by some of House music’s greatest artists, such as Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Miguel Migs and Jay J, DJ Heather, Olivier Desmet, Raoul Belmans. It has also been used on countless mix CD’s of every nature, including Lawrence Welk and the Welk Music Group.
His wicked downtempo and rare groove DJ sets have landed him gigs along side such alpha artists as NERD, Common, Cyprus Hill, Mos Def and Rhazel, to name a few. As a touring DJ that circuits the globe, Ken frequents clubs in numerous countries, including the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, Norway, Germany, the UK, Belgium, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and Brazil.
Ken’s laidback personality and happy persona shine through in all of his art forms. His peers consider him a true talent, as does his devoted following of dancers. In 2007, he suffered a major illness that kept him away from his love of art, but with the help of good doctors, he has rebounded and is now back in action. His “Waking the Dragon” album will be out soon, following a special “Best Of…” album full of Ken ecb original dancefloor favorites from his ECB days. Until then, you can catch him on tour as usual, playing without limits around the globe.
