Biography of Ed Mazur


San Francisco based house DJ / producer Ed Mazur is rapidly becoming one to watch for. Ed’s music features a distinctive style that blends widely varying sounds of house music together seamlessly into a sound that is solidly underground yet easily accessible.

Born in New York City, he has lived in many parts of the US, including Nashville, Miami, Denver. He began DJing and producing in 2000 while living in Boulder, Colorado. In 2001, he took a year long road trip up and down the coast of California and discovered what the West Coast had to offer as his love for dance music began to focus on house. Shortly after, he permanently settled in San Francisco to devote himself to house music, enticed by the creative energy of the City by the Bay and its vibrant music and party scene.

Ed doesn't like purism and throws down anything from the deeper soulful sounds to bangin' underground house or minimal tech house. His favorite music fuses creative sound design and driving beats with soulful, organic funky grooves. He has played at most of the major San Francisco clubs as well as many underground parties. In 2004, he helped put together a float for the first ever American Love Parade alongside techno legends Jon Selway and Christian Smith. For the last six years he has played epic sets to capacity crowds at the Green Gorilla Lounge camp during Burning Man. In October, he made his international debut at the 2010 Amsterdam Dance Event . Ed has also been involved as a promoter with various San Francisco undergrounds such as Don’t Hold Back, Jack Da Bass and Dirty Beats for Thirsty Freaks, as well as club nights including Love Deluxe and Close Knit Circle.

Ed shines as a producer. His work leans towards the techy side of house but with strong funk influences and deep organic sounds mixed in. Newer projects have increasingly featured greater live instrumentation and vocals. He first gained attention for his remix of Radiohead’s “Punchup at a Wedding” on the Fresh Press imprint which has received widespread play. 2008 saw the launch of his label, House on the Hill to showcase the rich variety of sounds in the spectrum of house. Initial releases have focused on his own music and collaborations with other artists such as Laron (aka Swan) and Emily Fox, His third release, "View From Within", received widespread play in clubs and was featured on radio on many top European dance radio stations, including Ibiza Global Radio, Berlin FM, Ministry of Sound Radio, and more. The label's fourth release, "It's All About" , includes a remix by London house music superstar Giom that reached #3 on the Stompy.com Top 100 Chart. Recent releases have received strong support from A-list house DJs including DJ Heather, Massimo Dacosta, Nick Holder, Andy Riley of Inland Knights, Jay West, Miles Maeda, and many others.
