Born and bred in London, Jason Eli was sucked into the music world after countless days watching his older cousins create sweet grooves in their funk & soul band.
A severe addiction to buying records and playing keyboards ensued, and to pay for his habit Jason decided to start DJ'ing. After sending out a few cassette tapes to various clubs he got a call from Ministry of Sound. The club became his Saturday night residency for over four years through the mid 90's, and he dived deep into the world of U.S. flavoured House, playing alongside Masters at Work, Norman Jay, Todd Terry, DJ Harvey, Frankie Knuckles, Carl Craig and many others. He also delved into the worlds of funk, soul, hip Hop & Jazz.
These days, Its nearly impossible to pin Jason's DJing down to one genre of music, but the three words that spring to mind are : soulful, groovy & uplifting.
On the Groovadelica radio show you'll hear Jazz, Hip Hop, House, Reggae, Funk, RnB, Soul, latin beats and whatever goes with the flow.
If you love what you hear, check out the Groovadelica club night, featuring the best of Aotearoa's live and DJ talent or the Groovadelica digital music store, G Music (www.gmusic.co.nz)
When he's not in the studio making music for various record labels around the world, you can find Jason DJing all over Aotearoa every weekend. Be prepared to sweat!
