More about DJ Enrie:
Nominated for INDUSTRY INSIDER’S 1996 Commercial DJ of the year, Power Mixer DJ Enrie turns up the heat all year round. A gifted high-powered DJ, Enrie continues to captivate the dance community with a never-ending mix of his passion for the turntables and his lust for house music.
Born in Queens, New York, Enrie moved to Southern California in 1988. He quickly created a foundation for himself in the industry while working at American Trax record pool and working the clubland scene throughout Los Angeles.
Befriending two DJs, Richard "Humpty" Vission and Tony B. who had mix-shows on L.A.’s Power 106 FM proved to be most beneficial for Enrie’s budding career. As their stars rose, Vission and Tony B. were required to travel quite regularly. They soon enlisted Enrie’s mixing talents to fill in while they were out of town. With his rising notoriety as a house savvy innovator Enrie was also collaborating with Vission on the "Powertools" show. Enrie subsequently proved his talents were far more worthy of a regular position at the station and his signature mid-day mix show "Powerworkout" was born.
The success of the two "Power" shows helped Enrie give underground house music a broad-based audience. His versatility has earned him remixing work with Amber, Jocelyn Enriquez, Real McCoy, and Frankie Cutlass.
Enrie took advantage of the latest of musical trends by successfully releasing a series of mix CD's on labels such as PR Records, Priority and Underground Construction. In 1988, after creating a new studio for himself, Enrie released his most hi-tech mix compilation, "Inside My Mind", on Main Source Records. This double packet featured an interactive multi-media CD which included his music video, background information, games, tour dates, a special interview as well a virtual mixer, allowing fans be the "DJ."
Enrie has now found a home for his house at Moonshine Music. His 1999 debut release "Turn it Up" featured 17 tracks of cutting edge hard house with a relentless tempo. Mid-summer 2000 is the prime time for "Turn It Up 2", a compilation reflecting the hard bangin’, body movin’ house Enrie has been throwing down in the clubs the past few months. "…keeping it real and staying true to my fans is what it’s all about", says Enrie.
Along with his weekend slot on Power 106 FM , Enrie can regularly be seen filling the clubs with his signature hard-hitting house in cities such as Phoenix, Sacramento, Las Vegas and Seattle.
