Early life

Edwin Makromallis' musical talent was evident at a young age. He achieved 'merits' and 'distinctions' up to grade 5 with the piano. At 15, he took part in a work placement opportunity at a recording studio, where he learnt the techniques of audio production.

Career beginnings

Ed Case began his music career in the illegal rave scene of the late 1980s. [1] This was followed by a stint working in hardcore and drum & bass clubs. [1] Case however made his name in the UK garage scene of the late 1990s. [1] He hosted a show on pirate radio, Freek FM. [1] He released a string of underground hits, including "Something in Your Eyes" [1] featuring Shelley Nelson, [2] which peaked at 38 in the UK top 40. [2] [3] This track represented a dual turning point, since it was the first time Case had had a track chart, [2] and prior, Case had only used vocal samples, and it was the first time he had worked with a live vocalist in his studio. [2]

Ed Case achieved a greater level of mainstream pop fame with his remix of Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood". [2] He selected that track to remix because the original was 'quite slow', and he thought that his best contribution could be made in the form of a more energetic version, featuring MC Sweetie Irie. [2]

State Unknown

Ed Case linked up with Dan Genal in early 2013 to form State Unknown. [4] They have performed DJ sets around the world, playing 'underground bass-driven tracks'. [4]

Film industry career

Makromallis is currently pursuing a career involving producing scores for film, television and advertising. [5]
