BASM Client DJ Eloy Releases New Video Mashup – RIZE AGAINST THE THRONE

Popular Bronx based video remixing DJ, DJ Eloy just released a promotional music video mashup pitting popular hip-hop icons Jay-Z & Kanye West against popular Japanese rock band, RIZE. Inspired by the influential nature of all the artists represented in the videos, DJ Eloy created a mashup that battled the respectively popular tracks “ZERO” (from RIZE, licensed by Coke Zero Asia) and “Ni**as in Paris” against each other to create “RIZE AGAINST THE THRONE”. The video just went viral today, posting on Youtube, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter.

When asked why he chose to do the mashup with this particular lineup, DJ Eloy responded with the following:

“I was inspired to make the mix when I saw RIZE perform at Webster Hall last month. They asked me to be the DJ for their East Meets West concert. Before then I’d never seen them live. But their energy was so intense, it really motivated me. I got to talk to them and they were just cool dudes – good people. Of course, I’m a New York native, so I had to show love to Jay Z! Plus both of the songs just get in your head and stay there.”

This isn’t DJ Eloy’s first mashup that featured Jay Z. Two years ago he created a video edit for the popular underground audio mashup of Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” versus Jay Z’s “On to the Next One”. That mashup ended up on Microsoft’s Windows Media Entertainment Guide website where it racked up nearly 70,000 views in a matter of days.

The video remixer and DJ is a trained turntablist who first got his start at the age of 14, DJing locally in the Bronx before he spread out to Manhattan. DJ Eloy learned from watching his father & other relatives DJ in the 80s at block party battles in his Bronx neighborhood where they routinely went head to head with the likes of Grand Master Flash. DJ Eloy is a well known remixer within the DJ community, having been featured multiple times in the industry magazine, DJ Times and speaking at multiple panels at the International DJ Expo held annually in Atlantic City, NJ. He formerly created video edits for Strictly Hits before striking out on his own and freelancing for industry heavies like Promo Only. Recently, he became co-host of an informative DJ industry show entitled Video Report that covers all topics relevant to the video DJ community. DJ Eloy holds residencies in NYC and also travels routinely across the country to perform as well.

“Video Report” with BASM Client DJ Eloy Makes Waves in the DJ Community

The DJ industry has always been something of a mystery to those not involved in it. But for those of us who’ve dabbled in it or view it as a full time career, we understand that the industry is indeed complex. And, as technology continues to evolve, so do the various ways that DJs can manipulate media and perform at clubs and special events.

Last month, two DJs were tapped by the popular industry insider site, Remix Report, to begin offering video tutorials and reviews for VDJ products, software and the everyday challenges that face VDJs under the name Video Report. Remix Report typically provides video tutorials, reviews and interviews of popular traditional audio DJs and audio DJ equipment for other DJs (ranging from pros to novices).

Not familiar with VDJs? In its simplest form, a VDJ is a DJ who spins music videos. But for those who take it a step further, DVJing can encompass much more – video remixing, edits, mash ups, remixing on the fly (while performing) and so forth. Literally the opportunities for VDJs are large enough to make your head spin.

Video Report is only a month into its airing schedule but is already becoming a fan favorite among aspiring and veteran VDJs across the country. The show is hosted by DJ Josh Carl & DJ Eloy, two respected long time VDJs who started out spinning audio on vinyl, later stepped up to CDJs, migrated to Serato SL & then made the ultimate jump to music video and creating unique video edits & mash ups. DJ Josh Carl is a member of Crooklyn Clan, former member of Strictly Hits and spins every week out of his home base Boston, MA.

DJ Eloy is a freelance video editor & remixer for Promo Only, former member of Strictly Hits and spins every week out of his home base NYC. The Bronx based turntablist started spinning when he was 14, under the tutelage of his father DJ Risk who battled Grand Master Flash at local block parties. DJ Eloy has performed in Tokyo, Mexico & the Caribbean and spins at guest performances at popular venues around the country in Seattle & San Francisco.

Already into its seventh episode, the show has interviewed Jack Millz (a prominent VDJ for SmashVision & Crooklyn Clan), covered the controversial split between Serato and Mix Emergency & has plans to interview more influential VDJs & review more products that directly effect the VDJ community.
