Dj Bio::
With many diverse sounds, DJ/Producer Deka has that magical ability to take you on a journey through musical euphoria. Deka's mixes are not only seamless with intense baselines and buildups but his live performances are even more energetic and intense. Deka (whose birth name is Alexander Karangioze) has been performing from behind the decks for over seven years in front of enthusiastic club goers all across northeastern parts of the United States.
Spending numerous hours a day working on his turntabalism and mixing skills Deka quickly grasped the concepts and skills of spinning. During this time he would frequently attend some of Boston's best nightclubs and he would watch and learn from numerous top notch global dj's as they would work the floor and crowds to their mercy. Soon enough Deka landed his first club gig at Fuel in his hometown of Lowell, MA in the fall of 2001. Playing hard-progressive trance at that time, he received positive feedback from peers and clubbers. This was just a taste of things to come for Deka who at nearly 6 years later has spun alongside with some of the best dj's in the world at some of the best venues throughout North America.
To date Deka has spun at every major nightclub in Boston,MA. With guest spots at respected clubs in Boston such as Axis, Embassy, Roxy, RumoR, Underbar, Venu, Suite and the world renown Avalon in Boston (voted the top club in America by Mixer Magazine in 2002) to name just a few of the more respected venues. He is also played in cities such as Philadelphia, Providence, Miami and New York City at spots such as Emerald City (Philadelphia), Therapy (Providence,R.I.), The Metronome (Burlington, VT), and Pacha (New York City) to name just some of the spots he has headlined at. Deka has also held down past residencies at Club Fuel (Lowell, MA), Tabu (Saugus, MA),OM (Cambridge,MA), Venu (Boston, MA), Aria (Boston, MA) and one of New England's premier afterhours spots at the time, Pulse (Providence, R.I.). Throughout these residencies and guest appearances, Deka has spun alongside many other talented and respected DJ/Producers. Well known DJ's such as Pablo Ceballos of Chus & Ceballos, Pete Tha Zouk, Peter Bailey, Richie Santana, Curtis Atchison of Midnight Society, D-Formation, Serge Devant and Sal 'Parm' Basile aka Plasmic Honey are just a few respected DJ's that Deka has spun alongside.
Spinning diverse sets within tribal house, progressive, and NYC hard house; Deka brings the punch and energy that keeps you moving physically and spiritually. From dark and dirty tribal sounds geared towards warehouse and afterhours parties, to more global house sounds at some of the most prestigious nightclubs, Deka delivers and brings it all with tasteful elements and sounds that will make anyone yearn for more. Deka's success have not only come from his natural talents to read dance floors, have an ear for some of the best tracks, and mix in keys properly; but his dedication, loyalty, and respect to the scene along his hard work ethics as a Dj is what makes him stand amongst the best.
Currently at the age of 26, Deka is busier than ever holding a residency at the world renown RISE (Boston's only Afterhours), where he is able to showcase his skills and unique tribal sounds to one of the most educated house crowds in New England. Deka also holds a monthly residency at Rumor in Boston and currently appears at Bostons best regular hour clubs on a frequent basis. Along with these spots, Deka is quickly gaining respect from some of the industrys best labels and artists as a new producer in the industry. Deka has been signed to Apple Jaxx Recordings, Escuro Recordings, HMSP Music, Hypno Music Recordings UK, Digital Jaxx UK, Nervous Records, SoundGroove Records and Teggno Records. Deka's tracks have gained support from global talents such as Dj Vibe (Portugal), Mike Morales (Portugal), DJ Boris (NYC), Alex Santer (Greece) and Jaimy (Fatal Music/Netherlands) amongst many others. Deka's first published release, an original titled "In The Darkness" off of Escuro topped off at 45 on the top 100 downloads on Beatport.com beating out nearly 8,000 other tracks that month. Deka also finished a remix titled Amor Los Batido for Tribalishious (who is based out of the UK) which reached 50 on the top 100 chart beating out over 14,000 other house tracks. Deka’s original titled “Enter Your Soul†was also a top 50, peaking at 26 on the Beatport charts off of the legendary Nervous Records label. And his remix for Midnight Society Feat. Lula – Drum Nation is also receiving heavy support from some of the best dj’s globally. With 16 tracks produced in a year it’s hard to find at least one track that has not been supported, spun, or charted by an international superstar DJ. As if that was not enough on his plate, Deka is constantly working and learning new methods of production and now a new label owner at Coraza Recordings. His main goal with Coraza is to emphasize quality tracks over quantity and plans to continue to do so with his own production work and with his new label by signing and joining strengths with the some of the best talent in the world. This label has gained attention from the likes of Steve Lawler to DT as it continues to grow into one of house music’s best underground record labels. Be on the lookout for Deka as this young but experienced, energetic, and talented Dj/Producer makes his way to your club!
