Eli is NYC's preeminent DJ. Period. For dance music that is, of course there may be other genres other people I've never met care about. There's been others in the past, but it's been him for a minute now. I think Francoise K and Danny Krivit had times. I see my next guest, Justin Strauss, in this other category, he's always been someone I look up to as creating the situation I've enjoyed, but it's like Justin never required the attention. Eli doesn't ask for any attention either, but he gets it. He tells us the story of Tiki Disco, humble random beginnings turned into NYC's best known party really of the decade. He's got his long desired Eli all night long residency now at House of Yes. Welcome addition to NYC dance music calendar after Francoise's Monday Cielo ending. I planned to actually post Eli as my first DJ episode, born and raised NYC DJ, but I wanted to wait until Sunday, so I swapped with Scuba. Sunday, May 24...if I were in NYC. I'd be at Tiki Disco. So cue up one of his mixes after you listen, and pretend for a bit. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/teawithsg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teawithsg/support
Eli Escobar has been at the heart of New York’s club scene for over two decades now. Born and raised in the city, the DJ/producer has been consistently inspired by the cultural diversity that surrounded him growing up in the 80s and the many ways it manifested itself musically in those pre-MTV years. You can hear it in the dynamic and stylistic range of his ever-exciting DJ sets, which veer from soulful disco and jazzy, propulsive house into realms of reggaeton, soul, hip hop, funk, Afrobeat and beyond. A professional DJ since 1997, Escobar has since held residencies in clubs such as Le Bain and Tiki Disco as well as garnering quite the international reputation through extensive touring. This mix is the perfect summation of Mr. Escobar’s DJing expertise and tact, being a literal excerpt from a recent set played at Good Room in Brooklyn where he played for six hours while fellow New Yorker Danny Krivit played in the other room. Listen to the podcast above and read our full interview with Escobar on djmag.com.
