Evil Ed is a Hip Hop DJ/producer from the UK who has been making tracks since the late 1980's and has been involved in many records since his first vinyl release, the 'Blunted Bumpkin Buskers' EP by Hidden Identity in 1994. Since the late 90's he has produced tracks and provided cuts for a vast number of artists and labels and has also been involved in recording and mixing a number of projects, most notably the 'Slanguage' LP by Universal Soldiers and his own debut album 'The Enthusiast' which were both released to critical acclaim in 2004.

Ed started his own Hidden Identity Productions label in 2002 and has released a number of projects by himself and other artists. He has also been involved in starting a handful of other labels including Buggin' Out Recordings with Makif, Chakra Sounds with Hey!Zeus, Playing Around with DJ K-Delight and more recently the Music Please imprint with Manchester's Dijit (More Bounce).
