Artists // Velizar? One of the first Djs in East Europe to fight for the popularization of Electronic Dance Music in the mid 90s in Bulgaria. Velizar a/k/a Chocho took advantage of the lawless political climate at the time, and began his Dj career at the tender age of 15. By 17, he had developed a passion for Electronic Music and was a full time DJ, playing across the country. By 1999 He has established himself at the forefront of electronic dance music scene in Bulgaria in his multiple roles as Dj, club promoter and music curator. He played alongside such legends as Underworld, Sven Vath, and John Digweed, just to name a few.
Sonically bridging the gap between East and West, since 2003, Velizar has been actively involved in the New York City underground music scene and has participated in various parties and events in Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Mexico City, Berlin, London, and Barcelona. Currently, Velizar? is the headlining DJ for In Progress, and holds the residency for Elegantly Wasted Saturdays with Velizar? in New York City. Velizar at Myspace.com ...................................................................................................................................................................... Music // Velizar In The Mix O2O8 Recognized for his stylistic dexterity to create irresistibly contagious, soulful, quirky, chunky, funky, minimal, atmospheric, anthemic, eccentric musical contrasts, and the sensibility for all the beautiful dramas in between. Full of innovation, Velizar? delivers diverse and dynamic sound within the pulsating grooves of Electronica House Techno. Bored of self-imposed conceptual constraints, Velizar shows that he possesses a musical versatility - and, more importantly, that he has enough soul to musically communicate feelings to delightfully break into our consciousness.
