Deorro biography

Originally from Los Angeles, California, American DJ, Erick Orrosquieta, more commonly known by his stage name Deorro, specializes in progressive and electro house music.

Born as Erick Orrosquieta on 30 August 1991, Deorro began his music career DJ-ing at local gigs in his hometown of Los Angeles, California. When he reached age 17 he started to continually produce his own music. In 2012 he remixed “Make Some Noise” originally by DJ/ Producer Chuckie, who had requested Deorro to do the remix. The remix made its way to the Top 50 list by Beatport. The following year he released a single via Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings entitled “Yee.” The single charted all across Europe, hitting number 33 in Austria, 74 in France, 62 in Germany, and 8 in Belgium.

In 2014 Deorro released a three singles: “Flashlight” which charted in Belgium (peaking at number 54), “Five Hours” which charted in seven countries, including Belgium, France and Germany and “Rambo” which features a collaboration with J-Trick and charted in France. In May 2014 Deorro made an announcement that he would be pulling back on his DJ-ing to concentrate on producing and expanding his label, PandaFunk. Despite this, in the fall of 2014 Deorro hit number 19 for the award for highest new entry on the 'DJmag top 100 DJs 2014' contest. Because of this award, he performed at the DJ Mag event in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Live reviews

Formerly known as TON!C, Deorro has been DJing his progressive and electro house creations since way back when he was 14 years old. Watching him play live, you can tell that he has had a vast amount of experience for his young years, and reminding yourself that he’s an entirely self taught musician is incredible. As well as original EDM tracks, Deorro is well known for his remixing abilities, which he showcased at the recent concert. Having worked for the likes of Chickie and Steve Aoki, Deorro is a huge name in the industry both behind the scenes, and on stage.
He opened his set with an extended version of his track Five Hours which got the audience dancing straight away. When he wasn’t mixing or working the desk, Deorro was dancing behind his booth and getting into the tracks along with everyone else. He’s a great performer and had the crowd on his side all along. As well as his own tracks, he played some of his remixes and everyone was singing along to the pop samples enthusiastically.
When he played Yee, he was clapping his hands behind the booth, and the awesome strobe lighting reflected his movements, adding another layer of creativity to the visually and acoustically stunning show. The whole performance was a lot of fun, and if you like dancing, you’ll definitely love this gig.
