Unbelievably passionate about music he infects the crowd with his energy, captivating them with his highly visual performances (his interaction with the crowd has got to be seen to be believed!) and jaw dropping turntable trickery… he really is a ‘true..

‘ Without a shadow of a doubt Eddie Halliwell is a legend, a hero and a massively popular DJ worshipped by many’ – DJ Mag

‘Is Halliwell the most exciting DJ on the planet right now? Maybe!’ – M8/Tillate Magazine

Eddie is a DJ legend to rank among the best of them, so make some noise for clubland’s answer to Rocky.’ – Mixmag

‘There are people who play records and there are DJ’s who blow minds, Eddie Halliwell is the latter…who makes every set, no matter how small the club or how big the festival, feel like the closing party of the end of the world.’ – Mixmag

There’s a rapturous roar when Eddie Halliwell steps in to the DJ box, one that grows into that world famous chant – “EDDIE! EDDIE! EDDIE!”

It’s certainly been a meteoric rise – Eddie is a major player in the dance music scene, having just been titled one of the ‘New Superstar DJ’s’ by Mixmag and ranked number 9 in its world top DJ’s of 2009, as well as voted top 20 for 4 consecutive years in the DJ Mag top 100 DJ’s poll.

To understand how all this has happened so quickly you have to see Eddie in a club. Fundamentally when everything else is swept away, DJing is about making the dance floor erupt. Few possess the same talent as Eddie – behind the mixer he seems frenetic, a hive of activity. Constantly manipulating the music with lightning cuts, layers of effects and slick scratches, making you question both your eyes and ears. Playing tracks from across a broad musical spectrum – trance, techno, house and electro – he harnesses the energy of every beat, synth, hi-hat, squelch and squeak, making each sound stand out and yell at the people on the dance floor. As the music thunders along he bounces to each twist and turn in the track, interacting with the crowd in a highly visual performance, connecting with them, compelling them to dance.

Eddie reached into millions of UK homes with his own BBC Radio ONE show from 2003 – 2008, along with seven essential mixes, now in 2009 Eddie broadcasts to millions of worldwide listeners via his new syndicated radio show – FIRE IT UP RADIO

Using his technical expertise to generate energy and manipulate new sounds his peers also acknowledge him as one of the leading innovators when it comes to using technology to push boundaries. As Paul Van Dyk pointed out, technology completely changed what clubbers could expect to hear from the most cutting edge DJ’s: “Now kids just use them, for example, Eddie Halliwell — what he does with those Pioneer CD players is f*cking nuts! He had no hesitation; he just went for it and has probably got the best out of the machine”.
Tiesto has also always shown great support to Eddie and recently labeled Eddie as a ‘Legend,’ in an interview with DJ Magazine!

The world’s leading DJ equipment manufacturer, Pioneer, used Eddie to help develop the “DJM-909” (the world’s first digital scratch mixer) and more recently the revolutionary new PIONEER CDJ2000. Eddie is part of an elite group of forwarding thinking DJ’s who have been selected to work alongside the Pioneer development team.

Eddie’s new concept ED-IT (Eddie DJing with Integrated New Technology), that launched in August 2009 at Creamfields, showcases just how creative and mind blowing his performances can be – using only the freshest equipment to edit and remix music live on stage, accompanied by a full interactive visual display and stage show.

2010 is already another storming year for Eddie that started with a bang in Sydney on New Years Eve, followed by a two-week tour of Australia and New Zealand with Summadayze. Its full steam ahead with another full on year of world tours scheduled, more ED-IT dates, Ibiza residencies, album releases, live broadcasts from Eddie’s global gigs on Fire It Up Radio, a new podcast and much much more.
