In the past 5 years, Rodi Style has grown from one of Calgary’s leading DJs into one of North America's leading Hard House/NRG DJs and producers. With over a hundred gigs in Canada as well as stops in the UK, USA and future gigs in Australia & New Zealand, Rodi Style has made a name for himself with his harder edge style of music, scratching, tricks and original productions. His music has been played by some of the biggest Hard Dance DJs in the world including Lisa Lashes, Justin Bourne, Anne Savage, Ben Stevens, Paul Glazby, BK, and Proteus to name a few. As well, his music has appeared in the hard dance sections of Mixmag & DJMAG magazine. His rise in popularity over the few years has allowed him to share the stage with DJs such as Johan Gielen, Armin Van Buuren, Yoji Biomehanika, Kai Tracid, Uberdruck, Judge Jules and many others.
In 2002 and 2003 Rodi Style received a sponsorship to Evolve Clothing Ltd. immediately after his first gig and local production companies Apollo Productions & E-walk Bookings were quick to sponsor this young DJ shortly after. Along with regular DJ bookings, Rodi Style also took an active role in the Calgary music scene founding Litte Productions Ltd. Dedicated to organizing dance events with top international DJs, Litte Productions LTd. was fortunate enough to bring in artists such as Ayla/DJ Tandu, Michael Parsberg/Safri Duo, Fragma, Johan Gielen, DJ Dean, Caroline Banx, the Thrillseekers, DuMonde, Guyver and many others to Calgary. Rodi Style held a residency on www.netmixradio.com and was broadcasted live to over 2000+ listeners on his show "Rodium" every Monday.
2004 was an exciting year for Rodi Style. The winner of Vicious Circle Recordings and www.netmixradio.com’s songwriting contest with his Hard House track "Crazy", Rodi was placed onto the Vicious Circle promo mailing list alongside DJs such as Anne Savage, Paul Glazby, Andy Farley, Lisa Lashes and many more. Rodi Style was also given the great honor of being a label DJ for Brain Damage Recordings UK, joining a roster filled with talent such as the Testube Babies, Marc Johnson, Casper, Ben Stevens, Alex Calver and Aftermath. Not only that, but Rodi Style signed his first record contract with Hard Sounds to release his “Messing with your mind” single which went on to receive support from DJs such as Justin Bourne, Ben Stevens, Lisa Lashes, Anne Savage, George E, Kam Pain as well as many others.
2005 was absolutely insane for Rodi. With another track "Crazy" signed to Twisted Traxx, a remix for Operation 9 records, 3 tracks on Passion Records including his first double header, and Simon Eve mentioning Rodi Style as one of the producers to look out for in his interview on www.harderfaster.net, 2005 was a busy year for this young DJ/Producer. Ending 2005 with a bang, Rodi Style captured the spot of "Best Local Trance DJ" (there was no hard dance category) & "Best Local Producer" on the local electronic music forum www.electrocalgary.com. Rodi Style was also voted #2 in the "Best Newcomer DJ" category on the www.bangingtunes.com forum.
Already with 11 more releases slated for 2006, this year is shaping up to be very promising for Rodi Style. Expanding the list of label's he's released records on to include Toolbox, Infectious Recordings, Arktik Records, Phix Recordings, HardWired Recordings, Flashpoint Digital, A&E Digital, NuWave Digital and Xtension Records, Rodi Style is rapidly gaining recognition worldwide.

Being influenced by a diverse range of music and culture, Leung & Wan produces tracks focusing on captivating melodies. Already receiving worldwide recognition, their first track "A still moment" caught the attention of Michael Parsberg (of Safri Duo) and undergone a remix by the Danish producer/DJ.
