EDAN
(4twenty4, Listen to Reason [LTR] Records, djedan.com // DC/NYC)
A truly dedicated and devoted musician, Edan has been coined by many as Washington DC's leading tech-house DJ, and only one of a handful of tribal-techno DJs. From the music he produces, his profound DJ sets, and the DJs he books as a promoter, Edan has independently propelled himself to the top of the ladder.
Edan finesses house, tech-house, tribal house, and techno with deft mastery. His goal is simple, as Edan quotes, "I want to bring music to people who might generally think they don't like 'tech-house' and make them witness the power of the deeper percussive side of electronic music. Make them feel the power of the primal, underground tribal sound." His love, knowledge, and passion for music are evident in every set he plays—Edan has been heavily involved in music his entire life.
One of the East Coast’s most distinctive DJs, Edan has always managed to track down the industry's leading music. From deep tribal influenced tech-house to driving primetime techno, Edan has proven time and time again that he knows how to move a dancefloor. Being able to morph his sound to fit nearly any environment as only an experienced DJ can. Known for his impeccable track selection, audiences understand that they will hear the future sound of dance music when Edan is in the booth. Due to his superb mixing skills and cutting-edge sound, he consistently DJs alongside some of the world’s finest National and International performers, including prime time slots in Buzz's main-room (voted #1 club in America by URB Magazine) with such talent as Scott Henry, Charles Feelgood, DJ Dan, and Tall Paul. Edan has also appeared in the main-room of Sonar (the #1 new club in America by URB Magazine) alongside the legendary John Aquaviva. He has DJed for nearly all of the east coast's largest promoters and travels as far west as Los Angeles California, spreading his music.
His mix CD, "Binary Opposition," was voted runner up in the URB Magazine 2001 mixtape contest. Here’s a quote about Binary Opposition courtesy of Agent Sunshine (www.freebeats.org). “In a time when deejaying seems more like a popularity contest and less like a showcase of skills, this mix is a total breath of fresh air. Edan’s CD is a good reminder that there are still deejays out there that know what it’s about: The love for the music and an appreciation for the beats.”
Most recently, Edan and Carlo's track "I So Well" has been signed to Listen To Reason (LTR) Records, NYC. Remix is courtesy of Chris Udoh (Tigerhook). Look out for the release in early March 2004.

He's so cute. He's excited for his future son in law, but doesn't understand who RITM is. I'm trying to explain they are like Madonna, but in the electronic music world. lol.

My favorite is when he writes in all caps....all the time and then signs it. DAD. :afterbuzz:
That's the same way my Grandma leaves messages on my machine, at the end she pauses and then says, "Love Grandma."

well mainly cuz edan would build you up and BAM! there was quite a few of us upfront dancing our asses off to him. but rabbit in the moon...as many people have said...would build it up and then it'd jus be ...well that...i mean i give them props and all, i liked the genres they played but i was expecting more from the actual live act. my rating for the night would have to be a thumbs up tho. :thumbsup:

2003-12-20, 02:53 PM
edan's set was really good , but im gonna have to go with ritm
the reason that they didnt have a lot of big drops is because their live set is made for stage presence and theatrical purposes. they werent really going for a djstyle sound, what they do is totally original. Their were still many some bomb peak moments anyway
