Raised in Hells Kitchen Manhattan (10036 zip code), NYC, Elias was given
the name E Double the Darkhorse by friends who would say he has 2 minds
(day and night). This Brooklyn born, Manhattan raised Latino was highly
influenced by the pre-Guiliani days in NYC, where the birth and growth
of Hip Hop music was flourishing while it represented the "true life" in
the urban community. Throughout the 80's and early 90's Elias has
always found himself running in the streets of Hells Kitchen bouncing
around in Music Studios as the "past time supplier", where he found his
true love for Technology and Music.
By the mid 90's Elias looked for change and self preservation through
joining the military (U.S. Air Force), where he learned about discipline
of life and of different cultures throughout the world, where
"everywhere is a ghetto". While serving time in the military he held a
part time job DJ'ing and producing tracks for aspiring artist in South
Carolina, Alabama and Florida before heading overseas to South Korea,
where other forms of Hip Hop (B-Boy'ing & Graffiti) are huge.
After the military Elias decided to stay in South Korea for several
years working for a contracted I.T. corporation until he finally decided
that it was time to come back home to NYC (Bronx) to be closer to
family and friends and the pursuit of his happiness through music. Since
coming back to NYC during this recession, Elias has had alot of time to
spend, stepping up his game and putting his energy into making
Underground Hip Hop beats, and has had the pleasure of working with such
artist as Mygrane Mcnastee, Presto, Sean Wan, M.E.R.C.U.R.Y, Shinobi Stalin, AmIAm, Kap Kallous, J-Biz (Vets of Kin), and Adam Illustrate (of Grey Matter) just to name a few.
Elias is a huge fan of 90's Hip Hop and that style of music (i.e.
Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Nas) and is more drawn to todays Underground Hip Hop
music, in the sense of dark, tough, hard hitting drums with chamber
music like samples that compliments true Hip Hop bars.
Elias has currently been showcased at Don Hill's and Webster Hall
iStandard Producer Showcases, and has been hailed as New York City's
“Ace in the deck”, or "darkhorse" by super producers such as Self
Service ( Onyx, DMX, Jay-Z, Nas etc), Ayatollah ( Mos Def,
Styles P, Sean Price, etc.) and has even been described by Rockwilder
(Red & Meth, Lil Kim, Missy Elliot, etc.) as being "dark".

Elias
uses Reason 4.0, Sony Acid 6.0, and Torq for software (PC). I also use
an Akai MPK49, MPC1000, Pioneer CDJ-800s (pair), and M-Audio Xponent for
hardware. His style is true to the underground community and Elias was
actually one of the 1st producers asked to contribute to Mutant Emcee
Volume 1. I recently got the privileged of hearing some of the new
unreleased work and it impeccable. Still growing as a producer Darkhorse
is a true stallion off to the races. It wont be long before Darkhorse
is ahead of the pack. My suggestion is you jump on his band wagon
now .... I've seen the future ... Soon there will not be room on the
Darkhorse spaceship. Follow on Twitter @Darkhorse10036 and hit him up he doesn't charge too much and the abstract creativity is priceless.
