It begins in Los Angeles in 1998. Eddie Amador pens the now-famous
lyrics (“Not everyone understands house music…It’s spiritual thing, a
body thing, a soul thing…”), sets them to a hypnotic, pulsating beat,
and the seminal dance club anthem “House Music” is born.
A
legendary DJ, producer, and remixer, Eddie is considered by many a
house music prophet. His love for the music and his ability to create
unforgettable house anthems made him a fixture in the club culture of
LA, but it was “House Music” that really kicked his career into high
gear. With its irrepressible groove and deep, soulful lyrics, “House
Music” was championed by the best DJs on the planet, Carl Cox, Danny
Teneglia, Deep Dish, Masters at Work, Frankie Knuckles, Roger Sanchez,
Pete Tong, and Danny Rampling.
“House Music” went on to become
a global hit and secured Eddie an album deal with Deep Dish’s
Yoshitoshi label, yet it was his next track, “Rise,” which proved that
Eddie Amador was no one-hit wonder. Catapulting into the Top 20 of the
UK national chart, “Rise” propelled Eddie to the status of a
world-class DJ, and he was now performing at such super clubs as
Ministry of Sound in London, The Queen in Paris, Centrofly in New York,
Crobar in both Chicago and in Miami, Stereo in Montreal, as well as
Pacha and Space in Ibiza.
Eddie has gone on to perform in over
40 countries on six continents. While playing the dance meccas of the
universe over the last few years, Eddie remixed tracks for labels like
Strictly Rhythm, Ovum, CAUS-N’FF-CT, Jive-Electro, MCA, Universal, King
Street, MUTE, Azuli and Deep Touch. Meanwhile, he was still turning out
prime cuts for Yoshitoshi and his own Mochico imprint. Created as an
outlet for more adventurous underground music, Mochico is now preparing
to launch the MOCHICOPRIMO! label, which will take house to a newer,
forward-thinking generation.
In 2003, Eddie’s international
success allowed him the freedom and opportunity to set up a second
studio in Europe. Moving to Amsterdam with the desire to progress his
sound, Eddie, who has a degree in mechanical engineering, continued
pushing the envelope musically and technologically. Not long after
switching continents, Eddie began a production and a string of remixes
for Defected and Fluential in the UK under the moniker Saturated Soul.
Inspired by the tougher, tribal sound he heard in Paris, Eddie created
“Push My Bass,” a track that got massive support from New York/London
DJ Tom Stephan, who crowned this track “The Big One” on his weekly
radio show in the UK.
Flash forward. It’s 2005 and Eddie is
even busier. Eddie is collaborating with Tom De Neef under the name
Bazement Freakz. Their first production together “Spikehead” was signed
to the biggest label in the The Netherlands, ID&T. Their second
release “Good Timez” was recently picked up by Armin Van Burrin’s house
label FAME. Their third release “Sweat” is set for release on Roger
Sanchez’s STEALTH label this fall. Eddie is also looking forward to his
latest production “6 AM” due out on Yoshitoshi this year. As well as,
returning to his beloved LA to finish up a solo album due in 2006.
A
seeker of innovation, Eddie Amador is a musical icon whose goal remains
“breaking through the sound barrier.” Stay tuned for whatever comes
next…
