For the Georgia-born, Vegas-based DJ, his unbiased approach to electronic dance music insures everyone from the critical club kid to a visitor from middle America will be dancing from when the party starts until last call."I enjoy all forms of electronic dance music," Stevens says. "There's an element in each genre that I love and incorporate into my sets." With a perceptive connection and unbiased approach to what any given room craves, Stevens first honed his skills a decade ago in the Vegas underground scene as part of duo Shawn & Stevens with fellow DJ, Kevin Shawn. He earned solo recognition amongst the afterhours set at the legendary Empire Ballroom with a two-year residency, followed by regular stints playing for Godskitchen at Body English and Vanity. Always searching to share his sound, Stevens then earned a coveted residency at The Palms Casino Resort for the launch of Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto at Rain Nightclub, as well weekly gigs at Moon and Ghostbar, earning him a nod by the "Las Vegas Weekly" as the publication's first "Rising Star DJ" in it's annual Best of the City awards. Accomplished and respected throughout the industry, the seasoned professional has mastered the art of setting up a room proper to carrying clubbers all night - exactly what dance music dominator Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub was looking for when they opened their doors and acquired Stevens as a weekly resident. But his reach goes far beyond the booth in Vegas and Stevens' previous tour stops include The Colossal Event in Phoenix, Circus in Los Angeles, The Church and Vinyl in Denver, and Tantra in Miami during the Winter Music Conference.

Gobbling up all the trance music he could, Eric has lived and breathed the music ever since. Being too young to play in clubs initially, Eric had to fight for his first gigs but nevertheless began to develop a following at local concerts, parties and events with his signature dark, driving and immensely energetic blend of progressive trance, house and technoNow at the ripe old age of 23, Eric has continued to define his genre bending style as he routinely takes people to new heights with his high energy, high tension DJ sets.After a whirlwind year in 2010 which saw him going from a gig-a-month DJ, to one of the most well known and popular DJs in the Vancouver party circuit, Eric has firmly established himself in the west coast electronic scene. With his Friday residency at Vancouver's Gorgomish Nightclub, his internationally aired, monthly radio show "On The Dance Floor" which is broadcast monthly worldwide on AfterhoursFM and a continuous slew of requested guest mixes, club gigs and other events, Eric has his sights firmly set on nothing less than the top. His fans have come to know Eric to always bring a powerful energy to the dance floor and an Eric Allen set has a feeling to it all its own.Now focused on his residencies and expanding his reach outside of Vancouver, as well as the world of original production and composition, Eric Allen is a name to listen for in the future of electronic dance music. His rapid rise to fame on the West coast is truly something to marvel at and there is no telling where it might stop. Look for Eric rocking a club near you!
