This man is everywhere.  He’s got a Legendary after-hours mix show called HOUSE OF INSPIRATIONCORNERSTONE (W00t!!) Friday, July 1st at the One Life Radio/Gospel For Asia Stage along with other excellent turntablists.  Who knows … you might even see ME there!  Aiight … Here Goes 

From the depths of his soul, NIKOS, DJ Extrordinaire and one of the founding members of the Deep, Spirit-filled and Soulful Under My Skin Records ( http://undermyskinrecords.com ) mos definitely sho's his Love for the music, for his fellow man, and for his Lord.  Alright NIKOS...It's your turn.

This month’s installment of Sho’ Ya Love is from a couple of guys that have been influential in Christian EDM for quite some time. They are on fire for God, and their work brings many to the Lord. And their music ain’t bad either.

The fact of the matter is that no techno group was as diverse and prolific during the early years of Christian dance music as Virus. In just a few years they released a mix of techno, gabber, ambient, synth-pop tracks and maybe a few other styles of EDM as well. Virus’ core was Greg Young and Stefan Nelson. With the release of the double album Odd, they added vocalist Stephanie Dosen. Their contract with N*Soul Records was over in 1996 with the release of The Bubblebaby Experience.

Steve Jeffery is a busy guy. With one hand he runs Rubik Records with his buddy Douglas Ross and with the other he helps out with 2Turntables.co.uk, an organization dedicated to teaching the finer arts of DJing to new DJs and to help all DJs network. As a label exec for Rubik Records, Steve has a drum and bass label that has already gotten the industry’s attention and is quickly becoming successful. Today, Steve takes some time out to talk to us about the challenges of running Rubik.

Back in 2001, a new label was formed by Mike and Nino to put out Christian dance music that could compete with the secular scene. They originally banded together with Tastyfresh.com to release a CD pool each month that featured some of the best in Christian dance music. That lasted about two issues for various reasons. After that, they released their one and only vinyl by Skywatchers called Anything. Despite the success of the vinyl, the label simple disappeared. Here’s the story behind that and the label’s rebirth straight DJ Mike Sunglider of System 3 records.

For my first lil’ chat, I asked a man that has been around the DJ and EDM arena for quite a while. Some might call him a radical in that no matter what happens or who says what, he keeps on coming with fresh musical ideas, and he keeps on tearin’ up those ones and twos every Saturday night on RadioU! Right now he’s got a hit going with Prophetica, and some other things in the works too (I won’t say anything here, though … I’ll leave that up to him!).

Eric Dunne has preformed both live and in studio as Prophetica for about ten years. Last month he put down his keyboard and monk outfit and walked away from writing music and touring. This after two full length albums, a piece of vinyl, appearances on several compilation CDs, a tribute/remix album and a still much anticipated unreleased ambient/down-tempo album. He could be considered one of the most best known Christian trance producers in our small scene. He has graciously given us one last interview.

We had a chance to catch up with Nettwerk America & Sparrow Records recording artist Andy Hunter. Prior to his debut solo album in 2003, Andy worked with Robbie Bronnimann of DBA and Ray Goudie of NGM and others on the critically acclaimed Hydro project. Andy is also responsible for one of the first Christian drum and bass albums out there by the group Trip. He is also a critically acclaimed DJ who has toured with DJ Tiësto, Noel Sanger and others.

Greg “Stryke” Chin is one of several Christians who are actually making it in the secular dance world as both a producer and a DJ. His music has been released on such labels as Hooj Choons, Guidance, Isophlux, Platform, and Fluential among others. He is also the founder, brainchild, and owner of Substance Recordings. With his classically trained music skills and sixteen years of DJing experience, it was truly an honor to interview him for Tastyfresh.com.
