Biography of Episoldier
Episoldier (Joe Szczepanek)
(Detroit, Pitchslap Music)
Hometown:
Born in Dayton, OH--long-time resident of Ann Arbor, MI--and newly transferred to the Detroit area.
Genre/Influences:
House-- heavy west-coast influence, funky, deep grooves, tech, and acid.
Background:
With the parents' record collection consisting of classics such as Earth, Wind, and Fire, Midnight Star, The Gap Band, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, (and so on), Episoldier's musical tastes developed early on. An avid music fan growing up, his appreciation of funk and disco-influenced sounds joined with his newfound interest in electronic music (in the late 90's, courtesy of MTV's Amp).
Making Detroit clubs and parties his weekend adventures, Episoldier received an ear-opening call to dj'ing by hearing Richie Hawtin bring in the year 2000 at the legendary club Motor. After that show, owning turntables was a must, and was soon after a reality. Crossing through all subgenres of House, Episoldier's found that the tripped-out and deep grooves of west coast house working into bouncing bass, with a little old school flavor suit his personality, and the dancefloor best.
Most recently Episoldier has joined with several other DJs to form a collaboration known as Pitchslap Music. Always striving to play the latest underground house, Pitchslap Music seeks to establish itself as the go-to DJs for lovers of deep, funky, techy, house.
