Ed2000
 

Earth Dream 2000 is a project name founded in the optimism of the early 1990s by a british artist collective called "The Mutoid Waste Company". it applies to the 2000,s. not just one year. Its aim is to awaken consciousness that we are able to create a world fit for our Children and their children to live in.

In 1992 corin djed a set of then newly emerging and groundbreaking ambient tracks mixed with his own tape loops as part of a Staendige Vertretung presentation at an Arts Symposium This took place in a former monastery in Plasy in the Czech Republic.

Members of the Mutoid Waste Comany were also involved. They added quiet spontaneously Digeridoo and various sound elements into Corins dj set. Very impressed with both the end result of this unexpected Jam Session and the aims of Earth Dream 2000, Corin asked for and was given permission to support the project by adopting an abbreviated version of its name as his Dj Name. The one condition set was that he explain clearly to anyone who asks, what does the name stand for. Since then Corin has fullfiled over 4000 dj engagemnts all over the world, under the Artist name Ed2000. The name stands for the aims and intentions of the project Earth Dream 2000. The musics he plays are also intended to contribute to this projects purpose, that ultimately we become aware of our own potential and purpose that we are able to achieve a better world that our children and their children can live in, a world of peace, personal freedom and unconditional love for all.

Never, Dont ever give up!

Corins career as a Dj started publicly at Billies Club, better known later as Gossips, a small Night Club in the basement of a Bordello situated at the heart of London's Soho district in 1978. Before this he was involved in the UK punk scene for some years.

Born in Paddington. London. in 1957, he re located to Berlin in 1989, just months before the wall fell and in early 1990 was living and working in the former East Berlin.

Listening to his parents selection of musics throughout his childhood meant exposure to and awareness of folk, soul, funk, rock and pop. Daytimes his mother listened to the radio, where the heavy rotation acts of the day were the kinks, the beatles, the rolling stones. his Father was a huge fan of USA soul music, and introduced him to Otis Redding, Motown and Stax. Both his parents were Artists and  somewhat anti esablishment.

Corin bought his first own record in 1969, a 7 inch 45 on Trojan records  by Toots and The Maytals. "54 46 was my number" His most recent additions to his collection include a wide range of styles, but lately he is tending more and more towards Artists such as Jon E Cash. Throughout his career he has maintained a position at the forefront of the most innovative and original new musics.

Dub Intervention is  a style of Djing he has evolved over recent years whereby he plays predominantly his own edited versions of tracks he likes together with Samples, Vocal bytes, Acapellas, Drops Fils and Lickshots of which he has amassed an immense collection. In recent years he has taught himself cross bpm mixing to the point where he now feels confident enough to introduce it into his sets smoothly enough to transition without disturbing the vibe and groove on the dance floor.

Bpm, Era and Genre whilst being very important in his selection process are not the determining factor, rather  he selects and edits and plays the musics that have and do most impress him. He has come to love the idea of simple resequencing and editing as it affords a very accessible anyone can try it out method of personalising ones Dj sets, allowing him to play out a very mixed set with a bit of an own signature to it. All of his editing is at first done on a very lofi dj software called Mixmeister Fusion, and then tweeked into shape in Audacity. His approach to sound work is he says best explained by the wise words of the highly acclaimed and revered Def Jam co founder and record producer Rick Rubin: " Do what you can with what you have. Nothing more is needed and there are no excuses

He has had continuous presence on Radio since 1993 when he had his first show on Kiss FM, run out of an apartment in Neukoln. He currently has a monthly show on Cashmere Berlin (Dangerous Drums Radio) & weekly on The Face Radio New York (Dub Intervention).

 He co ran the very successful and highly regarded Dangerous Drums project together with Berlin based Dj Vela and has this year rebooted the name as a monthly Radio Show on Berlin,s Cashmere Radio.
