Ed:e Armand | House Music
The Electric Club Cult, New Bomb Era, Tweak. PVD RI.
With almost 10 years behind him as a DJ, the name Ed:e Armand has become synonymous with the term "House Music" in South Eastern New England. His success, in Rhode Island began, almost accidentally, as he worked part time at an entertainment company while attending college for broadcast communications. Knowing Armand's passion for House and electronic music, his employer, literally, dropped him into the dj booth of one of their biggest club accounts. With his background as a musician in local area metal and industrial bands, Ed:e learned quicker than most novice dj's and found himself the club's resident dj, for their weekly "Anthem" party, for over three and a half years. Through that time he also maintained regular appearances at legendary Club Starzz and The Emerald Room after-hours clubs. Later Ed:e would move on to push house onto young clubbers with residencies at "Home" (Zooom Lounge), "Plush" (Ultrlaounge), "Shake" (Lot 401), "Global" (Prov) and his own series of all-night parties, "Reclaiming Paradise", "Return to Paradise", "Electric Paradise" and, most recently, the Hurricane Katrina benefit, "Rebuliding Paradise", where he fused underground dance music culture with mainstream clubbing by showcasing New England's best dj's. In early 2005, Ed:e was hand-picked for a seat on the "Scion Emerging Artist's Tour 2005" as one of Scion's choices for exciting regional talent. His guest appearances have included almost every Providence area nightclub or, lounge and countless events, after-hour or all night parties. From lounge to super club, Ed:e Armand plays for the room. He brings his passion for the music and his brand of deep, funky, tech, progressive, or tribal house to the club for one reason and one reason only... the party.
