ThirdEye 1st Birthday w/ Ejeca Tickets

Growing up in Northern Ireland's capital, Belfast, has instilled in the man known as Ejeca a humourous, down-to-earth attitude.

A teenage fascination with production culminated in early releases such as the limited edition, vinyl-only Tusk Wax Five EP, and his work with fellow Northern Irish, Bicep on AUS. It took 12 long years of hard work, but his big break finally came in late 2012 when two of his tracks were named 'Essential Tune of the Week' on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show.

Ejeca's output has always been diverse. Early tracks were centred on a disco/house fusion, and more recently he’s explored deeper house and techno style such as the off-kilter Frequency EP on Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint. Never one to stick with a particular sound for too long, Ejeca has constantly explored numerous styles, reflecting his own eclectic taste in music. This was highlighted by the podcast he recorded for XLR8R in early 2013. Comprised entirely his own unreleased material, it revealed the full extent of McCartney's eclectic output, meandering from techno and electro, to more abstract melodic cuts - serving as a perfect showcase for what he's all about.

Now firmly established as a reputable purveyor of high quality house and techno, 2014 marks a further step up in Ejeca's career with preparations well underway to unveil his new project, Exploris, a record label which will encompass everything Garry is about. The label will continue Belfast's legacy, showcasing the music of his friends from back home with a firm focus on diversity. There will be no strict music policy, just good quality, interesting electronic music. It signifies the next chapter in the life of a man whose aim is to have a credible, long-lasting career – no hype, no gimmicks.

It’s safe to say Ejeca has got his hands full as he maintains a worldwide DJ tour schedule, continues to keep us guessing with his musical output and lays the foundation for the next stage of his career with Exploris.

Leftfield are an electronic band formed in 1989 in London, United Kingdom. From 1989 to 2002, Leftfield was a duo of artists and record producers that consisted of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley. In January 2010, Barnes resurrected the band name and Daley has declined to be involved. They are pioneers in the fields of idm and progressive house, being among the first to fuse house music with dub and reggae.

As with many of their contemporaries such as The Chemical Brothers and Underworld, Leftfield pioneered the use of guest vocalists throughout their career. Among the more prominent were Toni Halliday (of Curve), who sang on “Original”, Djum Djum on “Afro-Left” and Earl 16 and Cheshire Cat on “Release the Pressure”.

"Open Up" is one of Leftfield's most famous tracks to date, featuring John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) of the Sex Pistols, released in 1993, this track withstands the test of time.
