A second generation Rock N' Roll drummer, Eric AntiFa is a producer, beat machine, and apprenticing audio engineer for Mystery Street Recording Company. The Rock hasn't stopped since 1992 when he received his first drum kit at age five. The mayhem continued when he jumped through the snare drum at age six, was given his first drum machine at age 7 and through all the epic metal and raging punk bands that followed him for the next decade through years of compulsory schooling. From 2004 to 2007 Eric was the instrumentalist alongside front man and Mystery Street co-owner, Joe Tessone, for Threnodic Nous and Behold! The Band. During this time, in 2005, Joe and Eric started the dumpster diving folk-punk duo Gramma Emma as a side project. Through the summer of 2005, Gramma Emma played numerous shows and released 2 singles before Joe and Eric got busy with Behold! again.

In the last months of 2005 Eric produced and released his first side-project titled "The Reverend and Assorted MCs" as The Reverend at the age of 17. In Spring of 2007, Eric left Behold! to complete the production of a solo project that had been in the works for nearly two years. By fall 2007 Eric was honing in on his skill as a producer with his new-found position at Mystery Street Recording. Just weeks before New Years 2008, he released his most recent solo album "Dear Abbey," as The Profit. In Spring of 2008, Eric joined Joe, Mickey, and Kirby in a folk-punk country-blues band that would become to be known as "The Rust Belt Ramblers." In 2009, Eric currently produces instrumental tracks for local Chicago hip-hop and R&B artists, continues to work on future releases of The Profit, and is a recording artist and performer for The Rust Belt Ramblers.

Working With Others

How I Work:

I will have a small amount of free time coming soon that I will be able to do a few projects for free, but unfortunately I do not have the time or resources to work on collaborations for free. I will, however, sell you a customized drum/percussion track for your project. I also have instrumentals for sale for hip-hop artists. Message me for prices.

If you would like to sell beats through Mystery Street, get in contact with me. We currently have producer spots available for hip-hop and RNB beat producers.

Hello, Eric! I just uploaded more instrumentals on my profile page. I have over 40 tracks completed already,produced by using only software(Sony Acid 4.0, Sound Forge 6.0) with production sound samples, to create my tracks. All instrumentals non-exclusive are $50 exclusive are $100. I don't do custom work, only freestyle beats. It's the only way I'm able to work. If you would like to purchase any of the ten instrumentals on my profile page let me know, so I can have them prepared for you in wave format with each instrument sound separate for you to mix the way you like. Thank for listening. Can't wait to see the website.
