EBK, real name Martin Kornacki, is a drum and bass producer and DJ from London, United Kingdom, with 10 years of releases on influential labels including Renegade Hardware and DSCI4 Recordings.[1]

EBK is an abbreviation for E-Blok, which was EBK’s DJ name in his early teens. It plays on the fact he is of Polish descent, hence Eastern Bloc, combined with the rave culture connotations of the letter ‘E’ commonly used to describe the MDMA based drug Ecstasy. EBK used to be a graffiti writer in London during the mid 90s, though not using the name EBK, the spelling and three letter abbreviation of EBK however follow the street style formula for writing crew names during that era.

Biography

EBK cut his teeth as a teenager in the 1990s DJing Jungle on pirate and internet radio stations including Flex FM and interFACE (www.Pirate-Radio.org) before becoming the co-founder of Composite Records[2] a label that at the turn of the millennium was an integral part of drum and bass's movement towards the rolling techno influenced sub-genre now known as Neurofunk.

Following a number of releases on Renegade Hardware including ‘Soma’[3] and ‘Blackboard Jungle'[4] EBK came to prominence in 2007 with the release of ‘1000 Years’[5] on Renegade Hardware’s album ‘Above The Game’[6] along with his remix work for Sudden Def Records.

His tracks are played by DJs across the board and have got national radio support in the UK from broadcasters including Mary Anne Hobbs and the late John Peel.

In London, EBK is resident at Technology[25] nights at Plan B in Brixton and has played regularly at Therapy Sessions,[26] Sudden Def,[27] DSCI4 and Autopsy Sessions[28] as well as being a frequent guest at the prominent underground club night Renegade Hardware.[29]

He is often considered a DJ specialising in the harder, darker end of the drum and bass spectrum mainly due to his releases on labels associated with that type of sound. However his DJ sets cover a broad spectrum of styles often embracing elements including neurofunk, minimal, rolling and techno.
