His unique styles of mixing and scratching soon led Eric to bigger things. In the summer of 2000, Eric was invited to play at 3 venues in Greece. After returning from Greece, Eric was invited to cater to crowds at numerous hotspots in Chicago including: Blonde, Nocturnal, Chromium, Funk, NYX, Barrel, Oasis 160, Clue, Ontourage and CO2 Ultra Lounge (WI). Eric has also played along side major DJs such as: Bad Boy Bill, Judge Jules, DJ Mea, Hatiras and Iio.Recently, Eric has teamed up with Funktion Recordings, an up and coming record label based in Chicago.
