Bio

CD, Vinyl
Music ;)
Montrea's own Whizz-Kid, Ellroy ( Born Volodymyr Zhurakivskyy ) began with his intense passion for BBoy culture back in 2001: from breakdancing, graffitti, and of course breakbeats; so the logical progression for this underage breaker was catching the DJ bug, playing all over seedy clubs in his native Ukraine.
In 2008 HIs efforts started to pay off when he signed his first production to Groove Baby Records. Soonafter, he launched his own label “Stereo Tension” which brought him his first hit with the electro- breaks stoermer: Coco Bongo, which hit the top 100 on several digial retailers such asDjdownload.com, and Beatport. In 2009, fate brought him to Canada, and he hasn’t looked back since, hooking up with DJ Jeff Gold, host of the “Deep Confessions”events at famed Montreal hot-spot, Le Salon Daome.
Ellroy had a pretty busy year in 2011,for this 22 year old Ukranien Import. From his ‘Warehouse Music’ being picked up by the legendary Defected, to the support of some of the biggest names in dance music such as Dubfire, Nic Fanciulli, Olav Bazoski, , Stephan Grondin, and Marcus Shultz ( to name a few) to his recent collaborations in the studio and on the decks with Proton Radio’s founding DJ, and music indusrty veteran Steven Caicedo; remixing the likes of Yvell & Tristan Feat Criss of the Quasa "A Miracle Man" on Canada's primier label Ready Mix Records and Evren Ulusoy "Fade To Blonde" on Proton's deep house & techno Imprint Apollo. Their collaboration has had a avananche of good fortune, with the launching of new label concept, Tiny Lamp Music, managed by Adel "BiG AL" Ghandour's Ready Mix Label Group.
Ellroy's sound is quickly turning heads and its just a mere teaser of what's to come for this talented and dedicated Phoneme.
