Eric started his career in the underground dance music scene in 1998, producing Drum and bass and eventually working alongside EDM legends like Loxy & Ink, Soul Slinger and Tech Itch. After releasing singles on Renegade Hardware[13] and Liquid Sky[14] he began to move away from drum and bass towards traditional engineering and turned his attention to working with artists and bands.
In 2008, Racy relocated to Los Angeles where he began focusing more heavily on mixing. In 2011, while working with the band Vayden, lead singer Curtis Casey introduced Racy to record producer Jess Jackson who was working on Tyga's major label debut album Careless World. Shortly after the meeting, Jackson brought Racy on to mix the project which went on to produce multiple Gold and Platinum singles.[15] After Careless World, Racy's demand continued to increase both in the urban and pop genres leading him to work with and mix songs for artists including Troye Sivan,[7]Alessia Cara,[8]Divinity Roxx,[10]Jonathan Davis,[5]Photek,[11]Major Myjah and many more.[12]

Racy traveled with the group as part of the band for the duration of the tour and also created a remix of 2ne1's hit "I am the best" that was used for the concert's finale. The remix appears on the 'Live in Japan' tour DVD.[16]
In 2014, while back in the studio in LA, Racy was approached to join the Katy Perry"Prismatic" World Tour to help build and program the show as he had for 2ne1's 'New Evolution'. After spending several months creating the show in Los Angeles, Eric traveled with Katy and the tour for the first leg before heading back to the studio. The Prismatic World Tour which opened to critical acclaim continued throughout 2014/2015, becoming Perry's most successful tour to date.[17]
