dj handler - runnen thangs


Erez a.k.a. dj handler is the founder and director of Shemspeed (largest, most diverse Jewish music site), Modular Moods (an independent record label), and the Sephardic Music Festival. As the brains behind Modular Moods and many of the hyped parties in and around NYC, dj handler defies musical stereotypes. As a multicultural maestro, he spins a mix of Baile Funk and Afro Beat blended with 80's free style and hip hop, while incorporating Ashkenazic cantorial music and traditional Yemenite melodies. He frequently collaborates with non-electronic musicians, creating textural fusions of live and recorded sound. dj handler's music, style, and presence get famous US clubs to resemble the craziest festivals abroad. Erez has performed with Lou Reed, MC Paul Barman, Spankrock, Steinski, Idan Raichel, Daniel Carter, Matisyahu, DJ Spooky, Anthony Coleman, Tes, Speed, and countless others. dj handler took home the "Best DJ" Award at the 2006 JMA's; London Radio's 104.4 FM called him, "one of New York's hottest Jewish musicians;" The Village Voice stated that his work "as producer and DJ is among the most adventurous and banging on the new Jewish music scene;" the Jerusalem Post dubbed him, "Jewish music's multimedia mogul;" Forward listed him as one of the Top 50 "most influential Jews of 2007;" and Heeb Magazine listed him in their "Heeb Hundred." Erez resides and maintains his many companies, within the auditory heart of Brooklyn.
