Guest Announcement: DJ Enku
Posted on June 18th, 2013
Continuing with our guest DJ announcements, we are proud to be able to welcome Vancouver based DJ Enku back to Anime Evolution! DJ Enku was last at Anime Evolution in 2010 and is looking forward to playing in front of the Anime Evolution crowd once again!
“I’m enku. I love music. There’s always a beat playing in my head…perhaps I should have that checked. I’ve been spinning music for a while now, playing to all sorts of crowds. I usually play a unique blend of music that you may all be familiar with, along with some goodies that you might not be expecting. Either way, it’s gonna be a party!”
DJ Enku will open up our Friday night dance and will let the music flow with a mix of top 40, electro, and progressive beats starting at 10pm!
