EDDIE Shows Flashes Of Genius On “Spritual Contraband” EP + INTERVIEW

Hellooo, my name is Edwin Beganovic more commonly known as ‘EDDIE’ [my nickname & artist name] I’m a DJ/Producer from Melbourne, Australia that has released and Is still releasing electronic music under deadmau5’s label ‘mau5trap’

I had a few experience’s that were all in the same year that sort of shaped my love for electronic music….but in saying that I would have to say my first ‘live’ experience was the one that made me just forget about the “outside world” if that makes sense? I was 14 and it was an underage festival called ‘ the good life festival’ the line-up was ridiculous… from Avicii to knife party to Skrillex to Dada Life and deadmau5, this festival just had so many good acts and hearing all that music live just blew my mind and I really became a massive edm fanatic from then on. Looking back at it now I took a line-up  like that for granted.

Definitely in the early stages, because before I went to that festival I mentioned earlier, I heard a genre called ‘Melbourne Bounce’ from a bunch of my mates and it was technically the first sort of “underground “ type of music that I got into. As I started to produce I was making Bounce a lot and I eventually grew out of it.

I also listened to AC/DC my whole life, absolutely love the energy they bring and I feel like I’ve always tried to bring a certain type of energy to most of my music till today……so they definitely influenced me in that way.

Seeing my brand/music go places I wouldn’t of ever imagined is a thought and a major goal that gets me so excited. And its also something that I’ve kept proving to myself that I can do. That’s what gets me going, just all these ideas racing through my head that I want to get out and test and see reactions etc.

Making a living from just playing shows/making music/merch etc. is a big goal at this point.

I also want to eventually make it to that level where I can just play my own ‘EDDIE’ shows/tour with my own theme/visuals etc. I think that would be super cool and I mean having my own label one day would be amazing! Love inspiring people and there’s so much talent out there that needs to be heard… there’ll always be.

Yep, my 3^rd ep with the mau5trap team! Its been great, they’ve really been supportive of what I do.

They’re not afraid to take something different from me….for instance my single from the ep ‘numb’ is a wild one and I’m just grateful they’re so open creatively, I love it.
