Today we wanted to portray one of Berlin's most beloved electronic music artist: eLBee BaD-- The Prince Of Dance Music (OFFICIAL)-- A classic figure of the scene, he has produced many great tracks and is an amazing DJ. If you like going out, you surely have crossed path with Elbee in clubs here and were probably under the charm of his vibrant and sunny personality. A true music lover, a humble and free thinker, Elbee is a unique character. It's amazing to see him play, as no matter the setting, big or small crowds, he's always as passionate and giving and you really feel that playing is a way for him to transcend this reality and his motives are crystal clear.
Musically he has an incredible range, an although his motto is "Dance"! he is able to explore into the more experimental realms, always searching for depth and enlightment.
LB Bad (Elbee) started as a musician over 20 years ago, playing percussion. By his early teens, he´d become adept with the Bass and Lead guitars, and highly skilled as a drummer and percussionist (which is evident in his productions today).
The Prince grew up in a time when music was alive and filled with talent and showmanship. That was instilled in him, and is one of his strongest points today. As a Dj and Mc he´d dazzled crowds around the world mixing and remixing live on his new instruments: the turntables, mixer and microphone. Bad´s talent allows him to switch positions from mic to turntables (spinning on 3) to rapping and singing !
The Prince of Dance is a musical trendsetter, yet still manages to uphold the honor of being a crowd pleaser. Bad had studied radio and television broadcasting at Announcer Training School (ATS) in NYC. He`s worked background at one of the New York´s most prominent radio station "WBLS" as an on location broadcaster. At an other station in NY, "WGLI" Home Of The Oldies "Uncle Monty" had his first full time on air position, playing songs from the 50´s and 60´s as well as having his own weekend show called "Hip Hops Alive And Well... and growing on Long Island" where Bad concentrated on local youth and local music makers.
When Ellbee moved to Europe, he entertained Berliners for 4 years with his music mix and entertainment show "Wow What´s That!" which ran live 5 hours, two nights per week on kiss FM Berlin. His message was (and still is) music, love and laughter!!!
Catch him on August 24th at Latitude Berlin first party!!
