"Erik Christiansen"
Being spoon-fed the deep grooves of original funk, soul and disco as a child by Erik's mother & father… and drowned in 80's electronica and early 90's '4 x 4 beats by his sister… Erik had no other option but to love House music the moment he began hitting up record stores.
With influences from as far back as Sly and the Family Stone, to as recent as Crosstown Rebels et al, Erik's music represents his passion in one way or another, paying homage to the sounds from the past, and inspiring his sounds of the future.
Erik's first EP; "Cosmic Girl" on HQNO & Fabø's label, playperview, has gained lots of attention, being played by Solomun on Pete Tong's Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 and riding high in the Disco & Deep House charts on Beatport. In addition, the release has been charted by Lee Foss, H.O.S.H, NTFO, Climbers and Atapy amongst others, whilst being supported and played by artists such as Karmon, Bubba, Dyed Soundorom and many more worldwide.
Erik also runs the influential label NastyFunk Records along with his best buddy Hendriks*.
2012 is set to be a huge year in Erik Christiansen's life; Watch this space…
