    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Funkin Donut’s vinyl sets bring global sounds together, blending '70s funk, samba-rock, disco, afro-beat, '80s boogie, '90s hip hop, favela funk and R&B, to find a common groove that makes for a dynamic and light dancefloor experience. He’s played at NYC vinyl spots like Studio 151, Nightclub 101, Tadpole, Hi-Note Radio, Doris, and is part of the monthly global dance party series Of The Sun. Erik’s musical story began with Brazilian percussion as a toddler and has led him to explore music as a multi-instrumentalist and a filmmaker, spending more than 5 years documenting, researching, and playing ancestral music traditions around the world, like remote nomadic Saharan desert tribes and their ritual music, New Orleans brass bands and the roots of Jazz, Afro-Cuban percussion, Andalusian folk music, South Asian oral music traditions and more. For the last three years Erik has been making a feature length music film in Salvador, Brazil, about ancestral memory and rhythm through the perspectives of different masters such as Carlinhos Brown, Afro-Blocos like Ile Aiye, and elder-youth oral transmission in Terreiros of Candomble. At the core of his ongoing projects, research, and DJing is a longing to find and demonstrate a common universal groove.
