DJ Randall Ellison in the mix at C-Street Dance Club (2006)
For over nine years, Randall has been actively involved in the C-U dance music scene, between engineering sound and lighting for various concerts and venues to routinely spinning at local club nights. With samplers, drum machines, and turntables in hand, Randall enjoys reworking incarnations of hard-hitting EBM, oldskool industrial, new wave classics, and mainstream club anthems infused with his trademark arsenal of live remixing and mashup tricks.
Randall has held past weekly residencies at Mike & Molly's Bar (2001-2002), at Chester Street Bar (2005-2006), and at former Club E'llusions (2007) in downtown Champaign.
Thanks to a comprehensive library of music and videos -- including rarities, promos, and imports -- spanning numerous genres from vocal trance to disco house, Randall is prepared for almost any club night occasion. Most importantly he prides himself on keeping a fully energized dancefloor and therefore always encourages and attempts to fulfill patron requests.
With his technical background in nightclub sound reinforcement and DMX intelligent lighting combined with his passion for mixing electronic music in a high-energy dance environment, he endeavors to open Champaign's first underages video dance club, The Zone Nightclub.
Randall is also executive producer of IDG Productions, the creative force behind downstate Illinois' premiere industrial electronic dance night hosted every Monday night at Chester Street.
