PROFILE

When any DJ at the top of their game steps into the booth it has that effect. Before they cue up a track or even plug in their headphones the mood changes. Eyes dart to the front, people get up on their toes and there is a murmur of expectation. But with Eddie Halliwell it's not merely a murmur, it's a rapturous roar, one that builds until at its crescendo the famous chant begins.

Nowadays cries of 'EDDIE! EDDIE! EDDIE!' can be heard emanating from packed dance floors on every continent. With three consecutive Top 20 placings in DJ Mag's 'Top 100 DJ's Poll' and the first (and only) person to have been crowned Mixmag's 'DJ of the Year' twice Eddie Halliwell has established himself as one of the most exciting and talked about DJ's in the world today.

2007 was Eddie's busiest year to date. Dubbed by Tiesto as a 'legend' who received his top vote in the DJ Mag Top 100 Poll Eddie went on to achieve his highest placing to date (No.16). Last year Eddie's tech driven trance was also one of the highlights of the White Isle with him enjoying another storming season as headline resident at Cream Amnesia (alongside Paul van Dyk) plus for the second year running mixing the 'Cream Ibiza' compilation. This plus the stratospheric success of his promotion to a full weekly show on Radio One, (garnering a nomination for Dj Mag's 'Best Radio Show' award) meant that he was the natural choice to represent the station for their Ibiza Weekend live Essential Mix (his fourth performance on those hallowed turntables). His renowned catch phrase also ended up transcending the airwaves with Eddie hosting a number of international 'Fire It Up' events. Indeed following this triumph May 2008 will see him mix the first release in a new 'Fire It Up' compilation series!

The key to this success however remains the same – Eddie's unshakable commitment to pushing the boundaries of club DJ'ing. Combining technical talent, a desire to embrace the latest digital deck technology and a unique ability to instinctively connect with the crowd his highly visual frenetic performances are simply jaw dropping. His mind-bending manipulation of the music using layers of effects, lightening cuts and slick scratches make you question both your eyes and ears. Moving swiftly and deftly his fingers harness the energy of every stab, synth, hi-hat, squelch and beat, making each sound divine as he bounces along to every twist and turn in the track, compelling the crowd to just unleash themselves on dance floor.

It's a talent that translates worldwide, with him able to deliver a heart stopping set anytime, anywhere. Recent headline performances include Skol Beats Festival (Brazil), Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Global Gathering and Creamfields (UK), Mysteryland (Belgium), Dancevalley and Trance Energy (Holland) and Summerdayze (Australia). Back in the UK he remains a regular headliner at Cream, Godskitchen, The Gallery, Planet Love and Lush (Northern Ireland) and Inside Out (Scotland).

Particularly close links also remain with those he forged his reputation as a resident DJ – Goodgreef (having helped them win Mixmag 'Club of the Year' in 2003) and Gatecrasher, for whom he mixed one disc of the 'Gold' selling 'Gatecrasher Residents Transmission' compilation. Other CD projects of course include two CDs with Cream plus also a mix for Judgement Sunday and three cover mount releases for Mixmag. Of these the most notable is of course 'BOSH!', which last year was voted by Mixmag as one of the 25 best mix CDs of all time (and all this from someone who used to refuse to make tapes for promoters to get bookings, insisting instead that they come see him play live!).

Today Eddie also maintains an ongoing relationship with Pioneer, helping them test their latest equipment and showcase it worldwide. As Paul Van Dyk pointed out technology completely changed what clubbers can expect to hear from the most cutting edge DJ's: 'Now kids just use them, for example, Eddie Halliwell — what he does with those Pioneer CD players is f*cking nuts! He had no hesitation; he just went for it and has probably got the best out of the machine'. As result Eddie was the natural choice to headline the worldwide 'Powered by Pioneer' tour to showcase the company's first ever digital scratch mixer, criss-crossing the globe smashing it out to a stadium of 10,000 manic Brazilians at the legendary Skol Beats, ripping up warehouse parties in Holland and mesmerising half the UK music industry at the IDJ Live conference in London.

Little wonder the iconic chants of 'Eddie, Eddie, Eddie!' fill the air globally where he touches down.

20/11/08 Journey Southward: Sirius Shares Hit 20 Cents
20/11/08  Journey Southward: Sirius Shares Hit 20 Cents

When is a stock officially a dog?  On Monday, shares of Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) hit a bottom-scraping 20 cents, an all-time low for the company.  The depressed valuation comes alongside a string of fundamental problems, including a massive $4.8 billion write-off and future loan obligations crossing into the billions.

Others continued to limp on Wall Street.  The broader Dow improved 151.17 points, or 1.83 percent, to land at 8,424.75 after a late-stage bounce.  During the day, traders digested news of falling wholesale prices, a sign that inflation is not a near-term threat; and a surprisingly positive forecast by Hewlett-Packard.  Elsewhere, American automakers made their case for a bailout in Congress, and investors adjusted for a deeper recession.

That created a volatile day, one that see-sawed music-related shares.  Apple (AAPL) inched upward 2.01 percent to $89.91; Live Nation (LYV) dropped 4.06 percent to $4.73; Ticketmaster (TKTM) gained 3.93 percent to $6.08; Warner Music Group (WMG) jumped 10.83 percent to $2.66; and The Orchard dropped 12.99 percent to $2.21.

20/11/08 Cuban Bites Back Against SEC Charges...

In the face of a Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) insider trading investigation, most would assume a low-key demeanor.  But brash billionaire Mark Cuban is pursuing a more confrontational route, one that uses the pulpit of the blog.

The SEC recently filed suit against the broadcast.com founder, alleging that Cuban illegally dumped shares in Canadian search engine Mamma.com after acquiring confidential information related to an upcoming dilution.

At first, Cuban declined to delve into specifics.  But Cuban now appears ready to battle through Blog Maverick.  In a Tuesday post, Cuban acknowledged that Mamma relayed information related to an upcoming offering.  But Cuban denied that there were confidentiality aspects attached.  "The SEC knows their case centers on one telephone conversation between two individuals - 4 years ago," a posted letter from attorney Stephen A. Best stated.  "There was no agreement to keep information confidential."

20/11/08 French Labels Suing Limewire, Morpheus, Others

A consortium of French labels is now suing file-sharing applications Limewire, Morpheus, and Vuze, according to details revealed by Torrentfreak.  The action also includes Sourceforge, an open-source repository that offers hosting to Shareaza.   The lawsuits are being coordinated under the Société Civile des Producteurs de Phonogrammes en France, or SPPF.

The lawsuits are being delivered under the DADVSI copyright law.  An amendment to DADVSI prohibits any company from distributing software that facilitates the illegal transfer of content, and penalties ramp towards three years in jail and a 300,000 euro fine ($378,780).  That contrasts with the United States, where copyright holders can only pursue application developers for overtly encouraging and driving profits from copyrighted content.

Earlier, French courts were grappling over issues of jurisdiction, specifically whether a foreign company could be sued for distributing applications that are inherently global.  That placed previous lawsuits on hold, though courts have now authorized the actions.
20/11/08 Mexican Tycoon Grabbing Major Circuit City Stake
20/11/08 Mexican Tycoon Grabbing Major Circuit City Stake

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego is now purchasing a large percentage of Circuit City shares, according to recent regulatory filings.  Pliego grabbed allotments of 5.3 million, 5.2 million, and 19.8 million shares starting last week, on top of an existing stronghold of 16.8 million.  That makes Pliego the largest shareholder of Circuit City, at roughly 28 percent.

The purchasing activity started November 12th, just two days after the company declared bankruptcy.  In Mexico, Pliego controls a diversified portfolio of companies that span retail, consumer electronics, mobile, and media sectors.  He is the chairman of Grupo Elektra SA, a consumer electronics retail giant; TV Azteca SA, a massive television broadcaster in the region; and Grupo Iusacell SA, a major mobile group.

Pliego is ranked as the fourth-richest Mexican, and one of the richest individuals in the world.  Circuit City is currently closing stores and restructuring amidst a serious consumer spending downturn.
17/11/08 Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind: More Rockiness Awaits
17/11/08 Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind: More Rockiness Awaits

A difficult rearview is now prelude to more turbulence ahead, and investors are exercising caution.  Instead of heady optimism and bottom-scraping scrappiness, most are girding for another rollercoaster week, including those carrying music-related shares.

That includes Warner Music Group (WMG), a company that bottomed an all-time low of $2.74 last week, only to resuscitate to $2.77 by Friday.  Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) also tested the trough by landing at 26 cents at the end of the week, a depressed valuation that betrays a host of serious ills.  

Those companies have fundamental issues, though broader headwinds remain unfriendly.  On Friday, the Dow shed 337.94 points to 8.497.31, a 3.82 percent drop on Friday.  Overall, the Dow dropped 4.2 percent on the week, based on a bearish mix of bad earnings, layoffs, tightening consumer confidence, and pending meltdowns of mega-corporations like GM.

Other music-related stocks felt the pressure.  Live Nation (LYV) landed at $5.50, a 36.6 percent drop on the week, based on negative analyst projections related to concert attendance.  Irving Azoff-helmed Ticketmaster Entertainment (TKTM) also ended sharply down, dropping 24.7 percent to $5.87.  The Orchard edged downward 1.9 percent, landing at $2.54; and Apple (AAPL) slipped 5 percent to $90.24.
