29 March was the finals of the Central Station Records 2007 DJ Battle at the Monastery. It was an awesome night and there was some top notch competition but I ended up managing to score a win. I did end up getting some pretty nice kit for winning, but the real prize for me was just the opportunity to play in front of some of the people responsible for booking DJs locally.
Massive thanks to everyone who came and supported me (even the loser who was shouting "Jeremy Iliev!" before, after, and during everyone else's set ;) ). I'll keep everyone posted if any new gigs pop up!
I was asked to write a piece about my DJing for the fortnightly publication put out by QUOTALS (QUT Association of Law and Justice Students). Click here to have a read. PS. I did not write the headline haha.
Well before his passion for house music, Jeremy learned piano from age 5 and developed a detailed understanding of musical theory that is incorporated into his live sets and musical productions. Jeremys sets showcase an eclectic mix of house music ranging from funky to fat, jackin underground to edgy commercial and everything in between that is energetic, sexy and, above all, danceable.
After years of experimenting with musical production and mashing up tracks, Jeremy won Nova 106.9s Mash Up competition with Freestylers: Push Up vs Black Eyed Peas: Shut Up which received airplay following the competition. Jeremy's self-produced Mash Ups are a feature of his sets and are always well received by the crowd.
Jeremy has played to packed crowds at many nightclubs and events in and around Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Currently Jeremy is exploring a new style, blending funky lounge and bumpin house to create a musical atmosphere that is truly unique.
