Events, Partys, » Ed & Kim

Forget Mel&Kim! Here are Ed&Kim! 8 years ago this duo started to abuse the decks with a very electic taste in music. This gave them the chance to play at different venues, clubs and parties as they always could addapt their sound to the crowd. They play different genres and styles, but you know directly when Ed&Kim hit the decks.
They were the first to introduce nu-skool breakbeat in Belgium. In their sets they combine this sound with other dancegenres like electro, house, old-skool acid, new wave, dubbed-out disco, rock, funked-up beats ... everything goes! They never stick to one sound an always suprise you with a forgotten classic now&then. Only three words rule their musical taste: originality, attitude and quality.
Their bodyslammin’ dj-style conquered festivals, events and clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands such as Pukkelpop, Beach Rock, Dour, I Love Techno, City Parade, Groovecity, Body To Body, 10 Days Off, Fuse, Culture Club, H20, Petrol, Silo, Café D’Anvers,...Residencies at clubs like Culture Club, Club Geluk and Fill Collins gave them more experience in working and pleasing crowds. Later on residencies followed at parties or clubs like Culture Club (Ghent), Eazy Fuck (Café D’Anvers/Antwerp), Klank (Charleroi), Cocadisco (Sint-Truiden), At The Villa Vintage (H20/Pecq) and their own Breakdown parties (Muziekodroom/Hasselt).
Six years ago they released a mixcd on the mighty R&S label called Straight From Vinyl 2’!! The first Straight From Vinyl came from Mo&Benoeli, now known as The Glimmers. Benoeli contacted them to make the second one...they made a mix of midtempo funkbreaks, dubbed-out house, electro and breakbeats. They included tracks from artists like Nightmares On Wax, Chicken Lips, Erot, Jesper Dählback, Matthew B and Ils.
For 9 years going they abuse the radio-airwaves on Studio Brussel. First they did a radioshow called Superfly with all funky, jazzy&soulful dancemusic. Then it was time for the danceshow Switch, as from the beginning they did the music-programmation for the first 2 hours of the show: all popular dance-music (from electro to house to techno to breakbeats and everything in between). 5 years ago they had their own breakbeat-show, once a month.
In 2004 Kim also started working as the assistent of producer Jan Van Biesen, bringing in new ideas for the show and doing the production and coördination of Switch. Now Ed&Kim have their own show in Switch, every Saturday from 20u-21.30u, covering all dance-music. Breakbeats, electro-house, electro-techno, electro-pop, broken beats, italo-disco, house, acid, punkfunk, electronica and minimal.
At the moment Ed&Kim are residents at the Culture Club in Ghent, Eazy Fuck-parties in Silo/Leuven, Cocadisco-parties at Sint-Truiden & their own Breakdown parties at Muziekodroom/Hasselt.
Since 2004 they also organise the succesful Breakdown parties at Muziek-o-Droom/Hasselt, where they do the programmation for the illectro-room.
For these parties they already invited dj’s like Dj Hyper, Smos&Baby Bee, Headman/Manhead, Duke Dumont, Dirt Crew, Idjut Boys, Freeform Five, Shy Fx, Boys Noize, Kiki, Cajuan, Brodinski, The Subs, Guy J, …
They played gigs together with Adam Freeland, The Plump Dj’s, Dj Hyper, Chicken Lips, FC Kahuna, Ladytron, Dj Food, Idjut Boys, Mr.C, Carl Graig, Freddy Fresh, Ellen Allien, Layo&Bushwacka, Freeform Five, Headman, 2 Many DJ’s, The Glimmers, Tiga, Justice, Erol Alkan, Fila Brazillia, Death In Vegas, Millionaire, Vive La Fete, Jamie Lidell, Tomas Anderson, Sven Van Hees, Riton, Mylo, Cj Bolland, Bloody Beetroots, Surkin, Jesse Rose, Boris Dlugosh, Tiga, Modeselektor, Justice, … to name but a few.
