Edwin Makromallis, also known as Ed Case, is a London-based musician, producer, songwriter, and DJ.
Ed Case began his music career in the illegal rave scene of the late 1980s.[1] This was followed by a stint working in hardcore and drum & bass clubs.[1] Case however made his name in the UK garage scene of the late 1990s.[1] He hosted a show on pirate radio, Freek FM.[1] He released a string of underground hits, including "Something in Your Eyes"[1] featuring Shelley Nelson,[2] which peaked at 38 in the UK top 40.[2][3] This track represented a dual turning point, since it was the first time Case had had a track chart,[2] and prior, Case had only used vocal samples, and it was the first time he had worked with a live vocalist in his studio.[2]
Ed Case achieved a greater level of mainstream pop fame with his remix of Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood".[2] 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.[2]
Ed Case linked up with Dan Genal in early 2013 to form State Unknown.[4] They have performed DJ sets around the world, playing 'underground bass-driven tracks'.[4]
