Ed Case

Garage and House Producer/Remixer from London, UK.
Owner of the [l=Killer Instinct] and [l=Quality Control (2)] labels.

Ed Case began his music career in the illegal rave scene of the late 1980s. This was followed by a stint working in Hardcore and Drum n Bass clubs. Case however made his name in the UK Garage scene of the late 1990s. He hosted a show on pirate radio, Freek FM.

He released a string of underground hits, including [m=13698] featuring [a35077], which peaked at 38 in the UK Top 40. This track represented a dual turning point, since it was the first time Case had a track chart, and prior, Case had only used vocal samples, and it was the first time he had worked with a live vocalist in his studio.

Ed Case achieved a greater level of mainstream pop fame with his remix of Gorillaz' [m=58013]. He selected that track to remix because the original was 'quite slow', and he thought that his best contribution could be made in the form of a more energetic version, featuring MC [a71565].

In 2001 he was signed to Sony to produce his own album [m=6003]. The album was a collaboration of different artists from different musical genres.

Ed Case linked up with Dan Genal as in early 2013 to form [a4391575]. They have performed DJ sets around the world, playing 'underground bass-driven tracks'.

Makromallis is currently pursuing a career involving producing scores for film, television and advertising.
