ED ROYAL / Innvision-Records

Ed Royal discovered his love for dejaying in the early eighties in Italy, soon after which he was standing behind his first pair of 1210's. His intention was to bring listeners closer to rare groove and funk. This required great skill in the difficult art of mixing and accordingly Ed soon acquired the necessary expertise. After his first gigs in Broglu, Sappalott and Boing he became Resident DJ in the popular Jimmy's Bar in Innsbruck. Even today he still graces the Jimmy's crowd with his tunes every Thursday, now also crossing his funk with nu-funk, break-beat, drum and bass and various other styles. A true "freestyler".
As well as standing behind the turntables Ed Royal wanted to produce music and thus opened his own studio in 1999. In 2003 he founded his own label "Innvision Records" and already the label's second release was a true sensation: "Born to funk" was sold out within one month and was subsequently licensed by Ursula 1000 for the Eighteenth Street Lounge Recordings compilation "Ursadelica".
Many tracks, highly recommended by critics, followed and so did numerous gigs in and outside of Austria. He produced remixes for the All Good Funk Alliance, Kid Loco, Soulphonic Soundsystem, Mawglee, Michael DeVellis, K'Bonus, Badboe, Parov Stelar, Timewarp Inc., Cadillac Jones.
The label "Innvision Records" is now a household name amongst the funk and break-beat scene and is there amongst the top elite with artists such as Malente, Fort Knox Five, the All Good Funk Alliance and others. His releases continue to appear in the German club charts and feature in the record collections of widely known colleagues Makossa (FM4 Radio, Austria), JonH (Fort Knox Five), Kid Loco (Yellow Prod.), Rob Birch (Stereo Mc's) etc.
Ed released his first album called "the groove collage" with Dj Enne and 2 years later the popular album "live your dreams". After them he played gigs all over Europe and also in the U.S.A. . Thievery Corporations invited Ed in their club "18th Street Lounge" and the next release was "live your dreams remixed" album.
This won't do and Ed opened his own club in Innsbruck called "Studio 21". Now he booked all his friends in the club and also some international Dj's like Stereo Mc's, Prodigy, Kraak & Smaak, Florian Meindl, Rodney Hunter and and and. Additionally remixed Ed some artists and released his new maxi "that's that shit" with BadKat. There's a little bit new style in his production and you will hear it also in his dj-sets. Freestyle is the name of the game and he isn't standing in his studio or his club - he's rocking the clubs.
