BLACKLIST FESTIVAL 2026

ESKEI83

Having dominated the world of competitive turntablists ESKEI83 naturally injects a hip-hop slant into every piece of music he touches. It’s clear from the millions of streams he has amassed that he excels at translating the frentic energy of his DJ sets into throbbing bassline fueled madness with an impeccable sense of crafting moving melodies. It’s this ability to balance the grit of the underground with what moves the masses that has made him uniquely positioned to dominate the dj world of bass music. And with dance music’s most iconic entertainers like Diplo, Alison Wonderland, Luude, Pendulum, Kanine, Dr.Fresch, Blossom, Zeds Dead, and What So Not all bagging his beats, plus releases on seminal labels like Flux Pavillion’s Circus Records, Viper Recordings, SweatItOut and Tiesto’s Musical Freedom, it’s clear that the fans are here for it. ESKEI83 is recognized throughout the world as one of Germany’s most honored and unrivaled DJ exports. His technical prowess is matched by few and his ability to read the room allows him to lead dancefloors on remarkably unique journeys into drum & bass and dubstep mixed with open format music. This is the mark of a truly unique artist: equal parts story teller and vibe conductor. The 8-time DJ battle winner was the first German DJ to be crowned a Red Bull 3style World Champion. He clearly expresses an otherworldly understanding of how to manipulate the decks. His DJ Mixes have racked up millions of plays on YouTube, more than 500k followers across his social media channels, and in 2022 his exclusive mix for Apple Music was prominently featured on the front page of the Dance category for several weeks. On TikTok he’s one of the most successful DJs with over 250k followers and millions of video views under #electronicmusic #realdjing & #dnb. ESKEI83 had a more than successful festival summer in 2022, bringing the stages to life at Europes top festivals such as Parookaville, Electric Love, Uprising and the Sonne Mond Sterne Festival. While he possesses a well-honed talent for completely demolishing the decks, ESKEI83’s equally matched skills in the studio have allowed him to craft bottom heavy bombs that have shaken the subs of countless clubs and festivals. His singles have amassed tens of millions of streams leading to What So Not personally tagging ESKEI83 for an official remix of his smash hit “Beautiful.” His Future Bass anthem “Rave” is his largest tune to date and his tracks “Taking It Higher” & “Lift You Up” have been played by heavy hitters of the scene like Pendulum or Kanine. Make no mistake, bearing witness to a live ESKEI83 set is an experience like no other. There’s no pointless knob twiddling for show. His movements are purposeful, and showcase his years of experience as a turntable technician. He truly believes in the idea that “Real DJing is not dead.”
