Ed Case (musician)

Ed Case began his music career in the illegal rave scene of the late 1980s.{{cite web|title=Ed Case: Biography by All Music|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ed-case-mn0000140219/biography|publisher=All Music|accessdate=16 June 2019}} This was followed by a stint working in hardcore and drum & 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 "Something in Your Eyes" featuring Shelley Nelson,Nick Harvey, {{cite web|title=Ed Case: Interview|url=http://www.outlineonline.co.uk/content/ed-case/interviews/109314/2482|publisher=Outline, 16 June 2019|accessdate=16 June 2019}} which peaked at 38 in the UK top 40.{{cite web|title=Official Singles Chart Results Matching: Something in Your Eyes|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/something-in-your-eyes/|publisher=Official Charts|accessdate=25 June 2019}} This track represented a dual turning point, since it was the first time Case had 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' "Clint Eastwood". 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 Sweetie Irie.

Ed Case linked up with Dan Genal in early 2013 to form State Unknown.Edwin Makromallis, {{cite web|title=State Unknown: The Story So Far|date=3 July 2014 |url=https://www.slideshare.net/edwinmakromallis/state-unknown-the-story-so-far-36611080|publisher=Slideshare.net, 3 July 2014|accessdate=25 June 2019}} They have performed DJ sets around the world, playing 'underground bass-driven tracks'.
