I have to credit Ed DMX with being the man who introduced me to a lot of old skool electronic music. Though I enjoy his own stuff, it's his DJ mixes where the education really begins. Case in point see here for a genre hopping masterpiece of stone cold dance floor classixs.
Recently he's started producing a podcast where he discusses tunes that have inspired him with a radio 2 style voice over. It is my tip for this month's recommended downloading:

(Gear freaks should also take a look at his studio tour.)
I really love Ed DMX, and as one of the few musicians who can regularly be seen out at parties in the punter capacity, I've on more than one occasion taken the opportunity to say this to his face. Unfortunately, and I blame the number of beverages it takes me to get to pluck up this kind of courage, it's never been well received. So I feel I should take this opportunity to make an official apology for all the times I have - and will - run up to the poor bloke and shouted "I love you Ed!" off my head at 4 in the morning. I'm really sorry.
The photo above is one I took during Ed's set at Extrema Eindhoven, where there was also a fat man doing some amazing break dancing moves whilst trying to poke a cigarette out of his belly button:
