Since launching Xfm's legendary (and Sony Award nominated) crossover radio show, The Remix (now the biggest specialist show on the station), six years ago, Eddy's become the undisputed champion not just of genre-hopping but of genre-breeding, slipping enough pills into dance music's pint until it finds itself curled up in the corner of the room with rock's dangly bits in its mouth.
It's why artists from Kasabian to Liam Howlett rate his presenting skills, his DJing skills and his hat-wearing skills above any other's. It's why his remixes have graced recent b-sides from the likes of Athlete, Delays and Engineers, why Gary Snow Patrol calls him 'twisted genius'. And it's why the man behind Manumission rates Eddy as "the future of Ibiza".
Wherever music makes people feel better, that's where you'll find Eddy. You'll know his voice from the radio (Chris Evans once called him the coolest man working in the medium). You'll know his immaculately groomed armpits from the clubs, where his The Remix, Kill All Hippies and PAY- DAY nights are consistently among the best-reviewed parties available to London's hedonists. You might have seen his name on Ibiza Rocks or Ministry Of Sound posters. And you may know his face from MTV's groundbreaking Up For It Live show, from his stand-in spots filling in for Zane Lowe on MTV2's Gonzo, and from all manner of shows on ITV, Channel 4 and Five.
