Northern Irish DJ and producer Eddie-B returns for his second guest show on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an underground electronic music radio station for the Asian region and international audiences, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.


Born and raised in Belfast, Eddie-B came of age during the mid-1990s, a period often associated with a key stage in the city’s electronic music development. Touring events such as Hellraiser and Vengeance regularly stopped at Belfast’s Ulster Hall, exposing him to artists including Carl Cox, Slipmatt, Binman and X-Ray during his early teenage years.


Those early experiences helped shape a lasting interest in electronic music, supported by an extensive collection of bootleg cassette recordings. By the early 2000s, he was a regular at Northern Irish clubbing institutions such as Lush in Portrush and The Met in Armagh.


Planet Love also ran buses from Belfast during this period, allowing groups of clubbers to travel together to some of the region’s most recognised nights. Around the same time, Eddie bought his first pair of Soundlab direct-drive turntables and began developing his own skills behind the decks.


As a product of the golden age of Trance, Eddie was naturally drawn to labels such as Perfecto and Tidy Trax while digging through Belfast’s record shops. DJing remained a passion during this early period, although family life later became his priority when he became a father in his mid-twenties.


Although he never lost his connection with the music, Eddie temporarily stepped back from DJing. In 2018, he decided the time was right to return, rebuilding his setup around Pioneer CDJ-3000s, a Pioneer V10 mixer, RMX-1000 and Toraiz SP-16.


His sound has also developed, now moving through Progressive House, underground House and Techno. When the setting allows, he also leans into raw Techno, using samples, effects and incoming sources routed through his V10 mixer.


Since returning, Eddie-B has played a number of well-received gigs and secured monthly radio activity with Lisburn FM, Bloop Radio London and Scientific Sound Asia. A further monthly residency with Ibiza Club News Radio places him alongside programming connected with artists such as Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, John Digweed, Solardo, Claptone, MK and Claude VonStroke.


He also hosts his own podcast, Melodic Dissent, which has built a following among dance music listeners. Alongside DJing and radio, Eddie has moved further into production, taking time to develop his sound and work on new material.


His monthly show on Scientific Sound Asia gives him another platform for his activity across radio, club music and production. The series presents his Belfast-rooted background through a sound focused on Progressive House, underground House and Techno.


Eddie-B Episode 2 opens with Bicep’s Atlas, placing the first section inside Electronica through its Ninja Tune release context and confirmed Beatport listing. Franky Wah’s Get Me High and Weepee’s Slow then move the programme into Progressive House with a deeper melodic club direction.


Nick Warren and Black 8’s Freedom Call appears in Richie Blacker’s Satisfy Your Acid Addiction remix, keeping the early section close to Electronica while also drawing from Progressive House and Techno context. Bogcorso’s Juno 99 and Cid Inc’s Fear And Square then restore the Progressive House line, with Cid Inc’s track noted in ADE context as part of a Beatport Progressive House Top 100 run.


Rui Da Silva’s Touch Me in the Richie Blacker remix starts the shift into Melodic House and Techno, using a familiar vocal source within a darker modern club frame. Richie Blacker’s Hysteria, Cristoph’s Big H 2020 and Adana Twins’ C3PO then strengthen that section through confirmed Melodic House and Techno listings.


Kaktus Einarsson and Booka Shade’s I Go, I Go in the Undercatt remix keeps the sound melodic and dramatic before Innellea and Kevin De Vries’ Mondfinsternis moves the episode towards a darker late-set atmosphere. The first half works as a gradual bridge from Electronica and Progressive House into the techno-focused second half.


Flug and Sebastian Lopez introduce Peak Time Techno with Electronic Measures, shifting the episode into a harder and more direct sound. A.J Roland’s Tension maintains that pressure before Blenk’s Dubjam moves into Raw / Deep / Hypnotic Techno through a deeper and more stripped structure.


Tom Laws’ Feel You brings the set back to peak-time pressure before Blenk’s Forward restores the raw and hypnotic Techno thread. Marco Bailey then adds Acid Winter, linking the closing section to a tougher European Techno sound with acid-edged movement.


Aurelien Stireg’s Heretics and Rustal’s Overshadow in the Juan Trujillo remix keep the late section deep, raw and system-focused. Eli Brown’s Fading To Black raises the final pressure before Mod21’s Epilogue 4 in the Len Faki Hardspace Mix returns to a darker hypnotic frame.


Robert Hood closes the episode with The Cure, ending the set inside raw and deep Techno from one of Detroit Techno’s central figures. Eddie-B Episode 2 moves from Electronica, Progressive House and Melodic House and Techno into a closing Techno sequence built around peak-time force and raw hypnotic structure.
