Electrik Pulse

Themi Charalambous , aka Electrik Pulse, discovered his passion for music as a kid growing up in Queens, NY, a passion fueled by the funky sounds of artists such as Afrika Bambaataa (Zulu Nation), C&C Music Factory, Jam Master Jay, David Morales and Todd Terry. Themi’s childhood dreams of one day creating his own music were soon destined to come true. Themi’s professional career started at the age of 15 when his mixing skills as a local house party DJ began to create a buzz, and the young aspiring DJ soon found his considerable skills in great demand. At 17, he decided to try his hand at writing some original melodies and lyrics and realized that it was not enough - he also wanted to be able to create and produce the backing music to complete his compositions, so he picked up a keyboard and taught himself how to play by ear. "The feeling is amazing when you can sit in front of a keyboard or piano and just play what you’re feeling at that moment," Themi says. This one man dynamo soon taught himself to play other instruments as well, including the piano, and it wasn’t long before he was writing and composing songs, arranging music, and engineering and mixing his own tracks. One of Themi’s first professional endeavors, as half of the production team known as “Big City Groove” led to his contract with Amathus Music and resulted in the international hit, “Cries In The Night” featuring guest vocalist Ezra Blue. “Cries In The Night” debuted to rave reviews and was featured in clubs and DJ mixshows worldwide, as well as being included on the Abercrombie & Fitch retail in-store playlist and receiving coveted airplay on the nation’s 1 Dance Music Station, New York City’s WKTU FM. After several subsequent singles, Themi’s remix of Chris “The Greek” Panaghi’s “The Time” soared to the 5 spot on the Billboard Club Play Dance Chart, and in January of 2007, Themi’s remix of the scorching Chris “The Greek” Panaghi track “Pump” debuted in the 1 Breakout spot on the Billboard Dance Chart. He has collaborated with several notable producers and record labels in the dance genre, including Sweet Rains and Chris “The Greek” Panaghi, (who has worked with major artists including Celine Dion, Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera). Themi's collaboration with Chris "The Greek" and artist Raquela landed him a spot on the hottest trance compilation of 2006, “Working The Mix” on the Water Dance Music label through Universal Records. Themi is currently working on new material with international recording artist Damian Wild, and the hit Fox series “Nanny 911” prominently featured several of Themi’s tracks in February 2007. Themi has also partnered with spectacular vocalist Amber Dirks to form the group Power 2 Move. Amber has performed extensively as a guest vocalist for the legendary singing group “Sister Sledge” and her soaring unique “rip the roof off” vocal style has earned her international acclaim. Power To Move is working on a full length album project to be released in the near future. Themi is a true believer that hard work, determination and not letting go of your dream are key factors on the road to success. "It's all for the love of music," Themi explains. From a humble beginning in Queens to the number one spot on the Billboard chart, Themi has truly found the power to move as he continues to rise to new heights in the dance music world.
