Tsunami DJ Spotlight on page 27 of December 2010 issue of Barlife Magazine - Barlife Magazine
2:15pm-3:00pm >> Bobby De Maria & Tsunami - Loud Loop
TIËSTO
9 p.m. Sunday, The Rave, 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave. $40 and $50 at the box office (414) 342-7283 and through Ticketmaster, (800) 745-3000 and ticketmaster.com.
The Sunday night immediately after Halloween is not exactly the ideal time to set up another party, but when it's being hosted by DJ Tiësto, people might find the energy to attend it anyway.
In the late 1990s, this Netherlands native rapidly became known as the foremost DJ of trance, an electronic form that seeks to engender the named alteration of consciousness. Whether or not it actually succeeds in doing so, Tiësto has found an international audience with remixes featuring Sarah McLachlan, Dave Matthews Band and more obscure artists.
This month, he issued "Kaleidoscope," a deliberately accessible album with Nelly Furtado, Calvin Harris and members of Tilly and the Wall and Sigur Rós. Much in demand as a producer and remixer, Tiësto also has a reputation for marathon live sets.
David Boggio, Alex Hall, DJ Rozz, Smashtime Super Stars - Bobby De Maria vs Tsunami and DJ Suspence are all part of the gig.

Bad Boy Bill has been spinning since the mid-’80s, and he’s the rare DJ who’s gained an audience beyond the dance-music underground. He even rated his own show on Chicago’s ultra-commercial B96 radio station for a decade. Specializing in house music, Bad Boy Bill puts together the kind of sets that don’t rest, stimulating nonstop, all-night dancing. For more sedentary souls, Bad Boy Bill’s mixes can be heard on his well-known Bangin’ The Box series, as well as an erratic stream of remixes of everyone from Nelly Furtado to Nine Inch Nails. - AV Club

BIOGRAPHY
Tsunami (Erik Johnson) knew from the first time he heard electronic music, he had found his calling. Introduced to the genre by pioneers such as Prodigy and The Crystal Method, he slowly began to expand his knowledge of this newly discovered sound. Upon getting equipment of his own, Tsunami began to practice religiously, teaching himself how to mix, scratch and become a well-rounded DJ. In mid 2008, he slowly began to emerge into the nightlife scene, playing underground gigs, parties, and smaller shows at local venues. Now an established artist, Tsunami continues to grow as a performer, and has developed a style that is all his own. From sharing the stage with top national and worldwide talent and playing countless shows at venues all over the United States, the first few years had already been monumental for Tsunami. With the start of the next chapter, he set his eyes and ears on becoming a renowned producer of the music he fell in love with, and in a few months had already released widely recognized bootlegs and started work on original tracks. At the young age of 23, Tsunami was invited to play the 2011 Ultra Music Festival in downtown Miami, as well as teamed up with longtime friends to start a nightlife event production company known as "United2Nite", which continues to throw successful events in many cities around the US, as well as spawned the ever-popular "House Music Saved My Life" clothing line. To kick off 2013, Tsunami joined forces with longtime friend Bobby De Maria to form the DJ/production alias Kings Of Class, a collective of their musical careers and a new outlook on the years to come.
