A Decade has passed since ECB (East Coast Boogiemen) was created and both individuals have not lost steam!! Ken Christensen (who prefers to go by Ken in a club or on a record) has given enormous contributions to the House Music scene whether it be behind the wheels of steel, in Junkyard Studios (he created in 1998) or running numerous Record Labels.
