Erick Decks



Biography of Erick Decks

Real name / Erik Trinkaus
Moniker(s) / Erick Decks, Ed Rock, Ed Chill, Deckstronic, Decks

"To put it simple: Erick Decks is just an amazing performer!"

said by one of Vancouvers Top Promoters you can´t be more on point.
More than 15 years experience in one of the worlds toughest businesses is giving him the ability to rock simply any crowd in every location..

„It all began in the Mid-Eighties, when the Hip-Hop Culture infected me“, says Erick about the beginning of his DJ- and Producer-Career. After these experiences the confessed Music-Addict is rocking Clubs and Crowds all over Germany as well as international Top-Spots like Switzerland, Greece, Ibiza, Canada and Russia. During his long time career - not only as a outstanding DJ but also as an Producer, Artist and Songwriter, he performed on the Decks with some of the worlds biggest artists.

If you ask for his personal sound and the definition of a successful night, he reveals: "My Mission is clearly to be a Crowd Pleaser! Every audience is different so you need to open yourself to the People´s Energy and the Atmosphere of the Place – then you become able to pull the right song at the right time, letting the vibes flow between you and the Crowd... That´s what it´s all about!“ And then – when the place is already on fire, you see him bringing it to a even higher level with some bad ass scratching or grabbing the mic and kicking some slamming vocals on top of the music which is playing!

Performance is everything...
