About Me

Ike from Sweden has been a DJ and producer for over 10 years. His professional DJ career has offered him the privilege of traveling and playing in some of the biggest clubs and festivals in Europe. These have included: "Pacha", "Club 404" and "Sun Dance Music Festival". Ike's productions and mixes have also been aired on radio stations all over the world including "Proton radio", "Sub7" and "Eccentricbeats". Ike also co hosted his own radio show in Sweden between 2003 and 2004 called "Groove".
In December of 2004 Ike left Sweden and moved to Vancouver, Canada to allow his musical career to grow. After just 5 days in Vancouver Ike was offered the honor of being the new resident DJ at Vancouver’s most prestigious after hours club, "Gorg-O-Mish". This world class club allowed Ike to be creative in his sets that usually spanned over 7 hours in length! These long nights at “Gorg-O-Mish” really helped Ike to hone his skills as a DJ. After over 2 years in Vancouver Ike decided it was time to relocate in order to get new inspiration, and ended up in Los Angeles. The move has already paid off for Ike as he has come in contact with several new producers and DJs to work with. His talent as a DJ has now captured the attention of Feedback-Bookings. Feedback-Bookings will now handle all of Ike's promotions and bookings.
In addition to his success as a DJ, Ike's productions have also caught the ears of major international DJs from around the world. In 2005 Ike together with Tyler Johnson and Neil Barber of Rhythm Code did a collaboration EP called "Extended Trip" under the moniker "Sonic Union" .“Extended Trip” was remixed by Swedish talent Daniel Sandberg of "Bastards of Funk". After this first release, Ike kept the "Sonic Union" project alive while forming a partnership with Daniel Sandberg to produce the highly successful EP, "Transatlantic Collaboration EP" on "Morrison Recordings". The tracks on Transatlantic Collaboration EP” received huge support from DJs such as Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Dave Seaman, Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Papa and Satoshie Tomiie. Together, Ike and Daniel currently have several successful releases on labels such as "Aurium", "Ascension", "Baroque", "Hunya Munya" and "Powerplant". Ike and Daniel have also remixed artists such as "Benz & MD", "Thee-O", "Joel Armstrong" and "Kris B" to name a few.
