Eddie Halliwell (born in Appley Bridge, Lancashire) is an international Trance DJ. Halliwell has held residencies at Goodgreef, Gatecrasher and Cream in Ibiza, was named DJ of the year by leading dance music magazine Mixmag in 2003 and 2005. He is a former resident DJ for BBC Radio 1, hosting his own weekly show, and has been recognised as "as one of brightest talents of his generation".[1]
Mixmag nominated Eddie Halliwell in its 2010's 'Greatest DJ Of All Time' poll, receiving notable support from dance legend and pioneer Judge Jules: ‘Eddie looks in to people’s eyes and he performs. Incredible stage performance, incredible skills, and an almost telepathic ability to read a crowd – Eddie’s got everything.’
2010 saw Eddie tour Australia, US, Europe and the UK. In Ibiza he held his fifth season as resident at Judgement Sundays and third for Cream.
In 2004 Halliwell completed a third live Radio 1 Essential Mix alongside Paul Oakenfold at Cream at Amnesia. Halliwell later appeared on BBC Radio 1 as one of six hosts of the late-night dance show The Residency. In 2006 he was given his own weekly show on Thursday nights/Friday mornings, midnight – 2am. Eddie now has 7 essential mixes under his belt. Halliwell returned to presenting on the radio in the summer of 2009, now presenting "Fire It Up Radio Show" which is a syndication show, which broadcasts to approximately 10 millions listeners around the world.
His success has visibly boomed over the years, particularly with Eddie’s own concept ED-IT (Eddie DJing with Integrated New Technology), launched in August 2009, which saw this years Creamfields Festival erupt making him the must-see DJ of the weekend.
2010 also saw Eddie collaborating with the super-brand Cream to release his much-anticipated Ibiza compilation and the launch of his very own iPhone App. Having travelled to every corner of the earth to play his scorching shows, Eddie is starting 2011 with a bang with New Year's Eve in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In his whole career, he had never made an original track, only remixes. But on August 28, 2011 he released his debut single called "Neon".
