Extreme Ironing: Ed Real goes one step beyond!

Reported by Annabel / Submitted 16-09-04 03:31

In preparation for his appearance at EXTREME Euphoria at Turnmills later this month, we ask the dj who’s no stranger to taking things to the max, Ed Real, what’s the most EXTREME thing he has ever done?

Are you looking forward to playing the main room at Turnmills again? How EXTREME are you going to be on the night?
Can I smash the place up?

What's been the most EXTREME thing you've ever done?
Apart from the usual party shenanigans I suppose it's my tattoo (yes that famous Riot one) and piercing... but then again they were both done under the influence!

Is this your first time playing for EXTREME Euphoria?
No, played the first one I think and a couple since. One of my favourite parties as there's a really nice mix of clubbers - both old and new! - and Turnmills rates as one of my favourite places to play in as the sound, lights and atmosphere are premier league.

We've all heard of EXTREME Ironing. Do you think we should start a extreme djing competition, and if we did what would be your entry?
Getting smashed whilst piercing the old chap mid spinback...Eek! reckon I'd stand a chance of lifting the trophy?

Ed in training for the EXTREME DJ competition Laughs out loud


CDs versus decks. Many people believe that the end is sight for vinyl and traditional decks. What is your view on this?
Love em both... CD decks give you the ability to play fresh trax and manipulate them a lot more than vinyl, but the humble 12" will always have a place in the booth I reckon.

Who is your favourite producer at the moment and why?
Crikey... I like a different person each time I go record shopping... boring answer, sorry!

Ed Real Big grin


You play all over the country. Do you think the hard house sound and crowd differ up North to London. And if so, in what way?
The Northern crowd always dress up more and make more of their Saturday nights I think. As to the sound, it's always party time North of the Watford Gap.

What is your favourite T Shirt? Will you model it for us at EXTREME Euphoria?
My favourite t-shirt says 'Jesus Saves but Ed Real Raves!'

We know you've been busy, but how has your year been thus far?
My MP3 site TrackItDown launched and is the biggest site for dance MP3's out there so that's ace. BK and I have launched Riot! Recordings which is kicking it large-style and I'm playing ace parties like this - all in all 2004 in running tings! Big grin

Bill and Ben, The RIOT! Men! AKA Ed Real & BK


Tell us a dirty joke.
Not really my forte I'm afraid. soz ;-)
