DIRECT DRIVE Presents
Saturday, March 10th:

ESHIN (No Jacket Required | Bassbot | Direct Drive | Destroyer.net)

DJ Eshin first began DJing in 2000 as he began taking hip-hop tunes from his bedroom to house parties in the NYC area. Although he first delved into electronic music in 1996, Eshin did not start experimenting with DnB in his DJ sets until 2002 and hasnt looked back since then. Eshin made a big splash in 2004 by launching the eclectic Wednesday night weekly No Jacket Required in NYC with DJ/promoting partner Doctor Faustus. While the weekly finished its run a year after its launch, No Jacket Required still exists today as a NYC monthly event, bringing in prominent DnB talent from around the world, as well as NYCs finest. Eshin is also collaborating with Direct Drive, which has been a staple in the NYC dance scene for the past 8 years. Spanning from melodic and dubby sounds to tech-step and jump-up, Eshin showcases the ability to explore multiple styles in his sets. Eshin has played alongside international talent including Goldie, Total Science, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Klute, London Elektricity, Juju, Logistics, and Digital, among others. As a member of the electronic music collective Bassbot, Eshin continues to spread his diverse sound in the American DnB circuit and beyond.
