Growing up in Chicago, Torin was influenced by the city's legendary House music scene. Beginning as a DJ in the early eighties, Torin was introduced to House Music in its infancy, absorbing the rhythm and the groove at such renowned Chicago nightspots as The Warehouse, C.O.D., The Powerhouse, and The Gallery. Reflecting on the early days, "I was definitely influenced by DJ's and Producers like Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Jere McAllister and Steve "Silk" Hurley." In fact, in 1992 Torin decided to accept an offer to work with one of the most successful DJ, producer / remixers - Steve "Silk" Hurley as a producer / remixer at Steve's Silk Productions.
Taking what he learned under the guidance of the Silk Productions camp, Torin J. Edmond, emerged with the inception of his own production company Underground Audio Music Group. According to Torin, "I was always looking for new avenues to grow as a DJ and Producer. I wanted to establish myself as a recognized talent among those who made the transition from DJ to producer / remixers." In order to stay on top of his game for production and remix skills, Torin continues to blaze the 1s and 2s with a residency at the internationally recognized sonotheque - chicago with anthony nicholson. Serving up Deep House and other aural delicacies, Torin has a sense for moving the dance floor. In addition to his live sets, his mixes have been heard on the nationally syndicated "Tom Joyner Morning Show", on the web at www.thaunderground.com.
