He sets them to a hypnotic pulsating beat and the seminal dance classic 'HOUSE MUSIC' is born. 'House Music' went on to become a global hit and secured Eddie an album deal with Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label. it was his next single 'RISE' which proved that Eddie was no one hit wonder. catapulting into the top 20 of the UK national chart, 'RISE' propelled Eddie to the status of a world class dj and he was now performing at such super clubs as Ministry of Sound, The Queen, CentroFly, Crobar, Stereo as well as Pacha & Space in Ibiza.
