About Me

» DJ Randall Ellison in the mix at C-Street Dance Club (2006)

For over eight years, Randall has been actively involved in the C-U dance music scene, between engineering sound and lighting for various concerts to routinely spinning at local club nights. With samplers, drum machines, and turntables in hand, Randall enjoys reworking incarnations of hard-hitting EBM, oldskool industrial, new wave classics, and 80s goth rock infused with his trademark arsenal of live remixing and mashup tricks.

Randall has held past weekly residencies at Mike & Molly's Bar (2001-2002) and at Chester Street Dance Club (2005-2006) in downtown Champaign. Currently he spins industrial-electronic dance each Monday at Ruby's Nightclub.

With his technical background in nightclub sound reinforcement and DMX intelligent lighting combined with his passion for mixing electronic music in a high-energy dance environment, he endeavors to open Champaign's first underages video dance club, The Zone Nightclub .

Thanks to a comprehensive library of music and videos --including rarities, promos, and imports -- spanning numerous genres from vocal trance to disco house, Randall is prepared for almost any club night occasion. Most importantly he prides himself on keeping a fully energized dancefloor and therefore always encourages and attempts to fulfill patron requests.

Randall regularly produces club versions of popular industrial tracks. Some of his recent remixes include:

- Agonoize - Sacrifice (August 2007)
- Cleen - Believe (August 2007)
- Fictional - Blue Lights (August 2007)
- Imperative Reaction - As We Fall (July 2007)
- Pulse Legion - Who Decides V2.0 (August 2007)
- Covenant - Brave New World (August 2007)
- Flesh Field - Reflect the Enemy (August 2007)
