Every week it's so difficult to choose an artist to spotlight because there is so much to talk about when it comes to local talent in South Florida. This week's feature is Miami's own SNOOKO! If you've been to any of recent Apex Presents shows then you've probably heard that name before. What started as a hobby has turned into quite the movement in 2016 for this young Producer/DJ.
Born and raised in South Florida, Eric Jimenez aka Snooko, is not just your average college student. For years he has followed his passion to create and mix electronic dance music. His desire to jump into the dance music scene was sparked in sixth grade when he first heard Skrillex's "Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites". While dubstep will always hold a soft spot in his heart, he is a fan of a multitude of different styles & genres of electronic music. Doctor P, Bassnectar, Jauz, and Flume have been his biggest sources of musical inspiration.
This year started out huge for Eric who was asked to play a nighttime set at Life In Color: Miami. In the months following, he has carried the momentum from dominating his first big festival set. He absolutely crushed his opening set for DJ 4B at Club Space and his support set for Trollphace is still being talked about by attendees! His high energy song selection and wicked mixing seems to captivate every audience he has the opportunity to play in front of.
Check out his "What's a Snooko? #1" mix below for a little taste of what you can expect to hear from a Snooko performance!
