Ed Royal discovered his love for dejaying in the early eighties in Italy, soon after which he was standing behind his first pair of 1210´s. His intention was to bring listeners closer to rare groove and funk. This required great skill in the difficult art of mixing and accordingly Ed soon acquired the necessary expertise. After his first gigs in Broglu, Sappalott and Boing he became Resident DJ in the popular Jimmys Bar in Innsbruck. Even today he still graces the Jimmys crowd with his tunes every Thursday, now also crossing his funk with nu-funk, break-beat, drum and bass and various other styles. A true freestyler.As well as standing behind the turntables Ed Royal wanted to produce music and thus opened his own studio in 1999. In 2003 he founded his own label Innvision Records and already the labels second release was a true sensation: Born to funk was sold out within one month and was subsequently licensed by Ursula 1000 for the Eighteenth Street Lounge Recordings compilation Ursadelica. On this record Ed Royal worked for the first time with his ideally matched, now partner, DJ Enne. He had been a friend for 20 years but both had until now fought their own way through the music jungle.Many tracks, highly recommended by critics, followed and so did numerous gigs in and outside of Austria. The two produced remixes for the All Good Funk Alliance, Soulphonic Soundsystem, Mawglee, Michael DeVellis, KBonus, Badboe, Timewarp Inc., Parov Stelar and Rephrase.
The label Innvision Records is now a household name amongst the funk and break-beat scene and is there amongst the top elite with artists such as Malente, Fort Knox Five, the All Good Funk Alliance and others. His releases continue to appear in the German club charts and feature in the record collections of widely known colleagues Makossa (FM4 Radio, Austria), JonH (Fort Knox Five), Kid Loco (Yellow Prod.), Rob Birch (Stereo Mcs) etc.
The own first full-length album with his producerpartner "Enne" was released in march 2007 and they got some great reviews and reactions all over the world.When he isnt standing in his studio - hes rocking the clubs of Europe.
