Ever since CurlyOnE first stepped up to the decks back in 1999, he’s been picking up momentum… and he is definitely not showing any signs of slowing! Born in 1980, and having been brought up on a steady diet of golden-era Hip-Hop, 80’s club beats and classic Salsa/Latin Jazz records, he had a fascination with turntables, poly-rhythmic drums and pumping baselines…So it’s no wonder that his journey into the DJ realm started in the House and Techno raves of the Mid-West, with a pair of belt-drive turntables and a desire to move the crowd. Spending hours locked away in the bedroom teaching himself how to mix, it wasn’t long before his skill level was on par with those who were at the forefront of the local music scene. After discovering the sounds of Jungle/Drum and Bass in the early 2000’s, he was driven by the desire to mix the street-savvy beats from his youth with futuristic, alien sounds that were being pushed through speaker stacks at the parties he attended. Having finished college back home in Puerto Rico, CurlyOnE returned to Colorado in 2004. He immediately begin immersing himself in the local music scene, playing small local shows, helping promote events, and networking with like-minded individuals. By the end of 2008, he discovered the sounds of Dubstep, and became completely obsessed. A chance encounter with members of Denver’s Sub.mission Crew was all he needed to send him in the right direction, and he’s been putting in work ever since. He’s been blessed to have performed at some of Colorado largest EDM events, including Global Dance Festival and Skylab. However, he does not limit himself to the EDM world… He’s been on several tours across the state playing shows with artists such as Souls of Mischief, Masta Ace & Edo G, Sweatshop Union, Prime Element, and Grieves. He has even held the honor of being “party-rock DJ” for the Colorado DMC Championships 3 years running.
