About Us

---

Electronic Dance Music Radio (EDMR)  is a non-profit company, and it was created to allow recording artists and DJs worldwide to showcase their music on the radio. To us, no one is less or more. We believe that through the power of cyber media and the passion that we all share for music, we are all the same. You’re number one to us, but also, so is the collective of DJs and recording artists that are part of the EDMR family. We are a family of one!

President and CEO

George Araxxis, is a disc jockey and EDM producer raised in Los Angeles, California. He started his djing career in the late 80s and transitioned to electronic dance music in Miami, Florida, in the early 2000s. His passion for music and his pleasant experience with DJs, producers, and recording artists of this genre, made him open an online radio in 2005 when EDM radios were only a handful. He established a good rapport with people worldwide who shared the same passion for music and where business politics’ and “number one arrogance” had no room or a say. He learned this attitude from very humbled people who never acted rude or arrogant despite being so prominent in the EDM industry.

He possesses strong leadership and business strategy skills that have helped solidify a robust career in the private sector. He holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Information Technology, A Masters in Business Administration, and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership in higher education. Moreover, he is a university professor teaching for two academic programs:

• Masters in Business or MBA
• Masters of Science in Information Technology Management or MSITM

These credentials have contributed to his demand for speaking at various business and technology conferences on innovation and technology.

Due to his doctoral studies in Organizational Leadership, he was forced to shut the radio down in 2010. He’s now back with more passion than ever to establish a more prominent family in this industry. His motto is “Peace in Music.”

UX Designer and Resident DJ

Manny Tovar was born in Los Angeles, California.

“Curator of deep, infectious dance grooves.” That’s how Manny describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his therapy. Having a passion for funk music (George Clinton, Morris Day), European electronica (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream), synth-infused 80s music (Depeche Mode, Gary Numan), and early 80s and 90s house (Frankie Knuckles, Masters at Work) of which became infused with his love for electronic music.  Manny ended up with quite a diverse spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks, on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

It is all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove. Playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of EDM sub-genre, tempo, style, or release date.
