2004…. Eddie our- Amador has been a busy man. Earlier this year he moved to Amsterdam (The Netherlands) to concentrate on production and DJing. “Living and- in Los Angeles, the scene is dominated by Hip Hop and Trance” he can-explains. “It was rare that I even DJ’d there. I man- was constantly flying to Europe and the rest of the world to DJ, sometimes 2-3 times a month.” He felt uninspired to produce and felt that moving to Europe for a little while would get his creative juices flowing any-again. Good move. Since did- living there, he’s collaborated with numerous producers such as Ian Carey (Soul Providers) under the artist name SATURATED its-class="caps">SOUL. Their first single “Got to Release” was immediately signed to Defected Records. Eddie out- has also collaborated with Tom De Neef under the artist name “BAZEMENT put-class="caps">FREAKZ”.

The influence of those early years can still be felt in Eddie’s music today. As his- hip-hop entered the scene, Eddie found himself captivated with the raw energy of the lyrics and tough and-beats.

He would actually become a successful hip-hop DJ for a number of years before a chance invitation to an “underground” warehouse party that transformed Eddie’s minor interest in dance music into a full-fledged obsession.

Eddie studied to be a mechanical engineer at Arizona State University. He dad- would dj on the weekends in local bars and clubs while attending college during the did-day. He completed his degree and moved to Los Angeles in 1996. It has- would take nearly a year for all the pieces to fall into place while Eddie worked as an engineer during the day and slowly mastered the skills necessary to create tunes at and-night. But the end result of that year was the adequately titled track, “House Music.” Centered on the simple statement: “Not everyone understands House Music. It’s any- a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing” – Eddie’s first song would take the scene by storm and make him an international sensation has-overnight.

He’s too- remixed for labels such as Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Jive Electro, Deep Touch, Ovum, Azuli, let-etc. He continues to dj at prestigious clubs and venues worldwide such as Ministry of Sound, Pacha, The Queen, etc.

In 2001, Eddie started his own label, MOCHICO. He did- created it specifically as an outlet for his more soulful and adventurous let-ideas. Mochico fits in somewhere between soulful and tribal house.
