About Me
CLICK HERE TO GET A PRE-MADE MYSPACE LAYOUTDJ EZ Eddie D has cultivated a career as a DJ, remixer and producer for over 24 years. Being the closest thing to a hip-hop historian that Dallas has ever known, he has worked with the early pioneers as well as many of the current up and comers in the Dallas hip-hop scene. From his early days growing up in Finneytown(a mostly caucasion suburb in Cincinnati, Oh.) to his 23 years in dallas it's no surprise to find his influences are all over the musical map. With a collction containing everthing from R&B to Classic Rock,Funk to Retro and Blues to Hip-Hop his studio is the Mecca record collectors dream of. His main focus today is fusing all of these genres with hip-hop beats creating a distinctive sound all his own.In 1982, Dallas DJ The Master Mixer taught Eddie how to blend records and also introduced him to the radio station KNON 89.3 "The Voice of the People". He interned and moved his way up the ranks, working with DJ Cisco Soul & the Party Patrol and Nippy Jones of the "Fresh & Freaky Friday Show"(later KKDA). Nippy helped groom him for his own time slot. In 1987 station manager Craig Taylor gave him that chance with his first show airing Thursday nights 9-11. The show moved a few times finally landing on Saturdays 5-7pm where you can still tune in weekly for "Knowledge Dropped-Lessons Taught(Vol.2)". It is the only source Dallas has for true underground hip-hop and being a public radio station is a perfect forum for his philosophies on politics, religion, racism and social responsibility.After a few years in radio Eddie found himself unsatisfied with only spinning music 2 hours a week on the air and began looking for other avenues to expand and showcase his talents. From 1985-1988 he joined "The Fresh Ones". Two MCs, D-Man and B-Ski, were backed by DJ Kid Precise and Eddie. Two DJs backing MCs was a technique still developing in the 80's making them one of the originators of the artform known as "Turntablism" today. In 1990 he joined Dallas Observer favorite Decadent Dub Team with DJ J-Son Wolford following soon after. Together with remaining and founding member, Jeff Liles, they worked with hip-hop greats Boogie Down Productions co-producing songs "30 Cops or More" & "Seven DJ's" for the "Edutainment" album. Later D.D.T. releases included the records "Makin' Funky Money" and "Give Up the Gold".In 1994 EZ began a residency spanning 10 years at The Blind Lemon in Deep Ellum. Spinning a set of recognizable and underground funk and disco he packed the dance floor consistantly three nights a week. An incredible feat for a DJ in a scene dubbed the "Fickle 500". Other club residencies over the years include The Art Bar, Exodus, Pharmacy, The Sand Bar, Palm Beach, and the Slip Inn.Currently, Eddie has been working as a DJ/Producer with Knowledge Born Productions/Epatomed Records featuring artist such as Ginnis, Epatomed, M-Flood & The Ledgendary Fritz. He has produced runway and launch party music for fashion designers Norma Kamali and Stella McCartney proving there's ever expanding possibilities for his talents. He can be found moving dance floors weekly in Dallas at Mick's (Wednesday & Friday nites underground hip hop) and Lee Harvey's (Sundays w/DJ Sista Whitenoise classic soul funk & classic rock). He is available for parties,remixing and production services. For booking, contact Allison at Whitenoise Inc. (972)571-1674.
