He has been a guest DJ in more than 34 countries including Ethiopia where he played last weekend.
DJ Erycom is Uganda’s best musical export by far, having dominated the East African market for now a decade and still going international. DJ Erycom continues to draw big crowds whenever he performs in and outside Uganda.
It was one of those rare occasions when he performed at PTC Club & Lounge in Makindye on Saturday night where music lovers were thrown into boisterous moods the moment he took to the DJ’s box.
It looked like only a handful would turn up for the event since few people had arrived after 9pm but after midnight, cars filled the two main parking areas, sending a signal to others not to miss.
When the veteran DJ came out of the guest lounge into the DJ’s booth, fans could not stop screaming – 'Erwiiiiicom, Helikomuuuu, Ekomu' while others were heard pronouncing his name as 'Erikon'. It was clear they did not care much about what he would offer, but were just excited to see their favourite DJ spin the discs and twist back and forth the mixing table’s sound control buttons.
The self tagged Local DJ did not disappoint as he concocted a good mixture of Uganda’s old hits and latest songs to lighten up the night.
