Interview: Ed Ed

In Interview with ED ED

/in /by

We interview ED ED, a producer, DJ and radio host based in Zurich. He releases on Moodmusic, NOIR, Bedrock, Poesie, Get Physical, Exploited and many more. His live sets are an energetic story made up of deep, tech und touches of techno.

Born in Offenbach, ED ED already in his youth laid down the foundation for a career characterized by energy and stylistic accuracy. Already going into the DJ circuit at the end of the 90ies Ed’s passion for music began when he shopped inside vinyl stores.

At just 6 years old Ed moved to Vancouver in Canada, but retained, especially in his early teens, his musical roots in Germany. Thanks German New Wave bands and legendary groups like Kraftwerk, Ed discovered the soundscapes that would shape his life and, in the late 90s, finally prompted him to take a leap of passion into the career of his choice: music production and DJing.

Today, style and direction are defined, and ED ED does not lose sight of either. His music reflects this force: clean lines, vibrant bass, and cool energy all combined to make his sets a worldwide success.

Q&A: Ben Hoo Readies to Release Get Physical Ibiza Compilation

/in , /by

2018 has been kind to Ben Hoo, but that’s only because of all the work he has put in the studio in recent years.

The producer is currently preparing to release his second Get Physical Ibiza compilation which features two original productions and two remixes from the dynamic artist. Other artists featured on the mix includes Nicole Moudaber, Enzo Leep and Reboot. Ben has previously released on Josh Wink’s Ovum imprint as well as Get Physical’s sub-label Kindisch, as well as remixed for the likes of Moby, Tiga and Booka Shade.

What all this says is simple: Ben Hoo doesn’t sit firmly inside any genre box. If there has been a theme running throughout London producer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Hoo’s career to date, it’s that he’s never wedded himself to a single style. Techno and house inform his recorded music as much as down-tempo and contemporary classical. Ben is drawn towards sound manipulation and design. His approach is steeped in audio reconfiguration, which he offsets by creating his own rich synthetic tones. 

6AM sat down for a chat with the British producer to discuss the upcoming Get Physical Ibiza Compilation and the journey that has been his career thus far.
