About Peace Justice Universal

The multitasking DJ, producer and MC known as PEACE JUSTICE UNIVERSAL (aka dj.eurok) is a Salvadoran-American hip hop artist based in Washington DC. His independent movement, UPSET THE SETUP, seeks to empower artists and communities through a DO IT YOURSELF approach to the development and promotion of positive culture. The hip hop music he creates has been described as original, forward-thinking, and relevant to life in the present times.

A fixture in his local music scene, PJ has been a guest and resident DJ as well as featured performer at a number of venues in DC including The 9:30 Club, Club 5, The Black Cat, Nation, Local 16, and The Ritz. In 2004 he was nominated by the Washington Area Music Association for both the Electronica and the Hip Hop DJ of the Year awards ­ the first dual genre DJ of the year nomination in WAMA history. Whether spinning records around town, producing beats or rocking shows ­ PJ has built many relationships with artists in the thriving local music scenes. As a producer and stage DJ for Head-Roc he has been an integral part of the progressive hip hop movement emerging from the Nation’s Capital. They have performed together at a number of progressive events, anti-war protests and peace rallies including 2005’s Operation Ceasefire on the National Mall.

An artist with global aspirations, PJ was a selected participant at the 2004 Redbull Music Academy in Roma, Italy. He has traveled in Europe and Latin America and his self produced original releases have received radio play on globally recognized stations including NPR (USA), Radio 1xtra (UK), Triple J (Australia) and NRK (Norway.) The limited edition vinyl pressings of these releases have found their way into boutique record stores in Brooklyn, Tokyo, London, San Francisco, Barcelona and many other cities.

PEACE JUSTICE is currently recording a number of projects including the forthcoming hip hop album WATCHING THEM DECEIVE.
