DJ Eye-D - Drum and Bass Mix - Feb 2004

Biography of DJ Eye-D

Eye-D is a Dutch DJ/producer who spins and produces both drum 'n' bass and hardcore. This results in some unique flavoring for both of the genres. Eye-D plays straight sets of each style, but he's also one of the few who will go so far as to mix the two styles up in what has become known as a 'GabberJungleWar'. Expect his drum 'n' bass sets to be hard-edged but still very effective on the dancefloor. Eye-D's hardcore sets range from slow to faster material, with a dark feel resounding throughout. An often heard compliment about Eye-D's sets is that they work well even when played to a crowd that normally isn't into either hardcore or drum 'n' bass.

Eye-D started out as a producer in 1992 and didn't get serious about DJ-work until 1996 when a promoter asked him to play a DJ set at an event in Amsterdam. Although he had done live PAs before, Eye-D initially wanted to stay away from spinning, but he was instantly hooked after his first set. Click here for a list of events Eye-D has played at.

While spinning is a big part of his life, Eye-D is still mostly a producer at heart. Because of the diversity of his projects, spanning all spectra of drum 'n' bass and hardcore, Eye-D is signed to a wide variety of labels: Piruh Records (The Netherlands, drum 'n' bass); Ruff-Teck Records (The Netherlands, drum 'n' bass); Mokum Records (The Netherlands, hardcore); Def Wish Records (UK, drum 'n' bass); Coolman Records (The Netherlands, hardcore); Fear Records (USA, hard-edged drum 'n' bass); Ghetto Safari (USA, hard-edged drum 'n' bass); Low Res Records (USA, hardcore); Semiconscious Media (USA, drum 'n' bass); Black Monolith Breaks (USA, drum 'n' bass), and Kultbox Records (USA, experimental drum 'n' bass).
