Audio Life Recordings / Future Sound of Breaks / Pharmacy Recordings
Eric Berretta has been a pioneer dj of the Florida Breaks & Electro community since late 1994. Eric helped to establish the Breakbeat movement as a resident DJ @ The Coliseum nightclub in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Coliseum was even voted America's # 1 nightclub in 1993 by Billboard Magazine. In March of 1997 Eric became a part of Knight Life Recordings in Orlando, Florida. Knight Life w as one of the first record labels in Orlando to put out electronic music with some of Orlando's finest DJs. Eric started producing music with brother Alex as The Berretta Bros, licensing tracks to various artists in the electronic industry. Eric quickly became a Daytona favorite playing all the hot spots during the 90's from The Coliseum to Sol-rays and Stealth Club to 600 North. In January of 1999 Eric left Florida and ventured out spending a year in the Carolina's (when Charlotte's underground scene was at a peak) where promoters took an interest in Eric's signature Florida Electro Breaks sound, pushing the envelope for Eric to play numerous times for packed crowds like the infamous "Bass Wars" parties held @ Area 51, Funkadelic Events @ Baja, Decepticonz Events @ Latino House, Greenville Convention Center Raves, late night clubs 519, 618, Exit Lounge, and many more. In July 2000 Eric returned to Florida to release cd compilation "Florida Breaks" volume 1 in 2000 and then vol. 2 again in late 2001. The mix was a collaboration of some of Florida's finest gaining Eric national recognition as a Southeast favorite! At the same time Eric held a DJ residency for the year of 2001 at Orlando's own world re-knowned Club @ Firestone. Eric continued to produce and moved onto residencies at Orlando's Icon, Blue Room, and Thee Grotto + performances for major electronic events in Florida @ ULTRA, GLOBAL Gathering, MAGICAL Maydaze, FSOB and CULTURE. Today Eric Berretta plays a vital role on the Future Sound of Breaks Collective & World Tour!
