eon

Eon started his recording career in 1987 while dj'ing as Ian B (Mud Club, Pyramid, the Fridge & others) when he started producing his own music. Dj friend Colin Faver played his first track 'Cuban Jakkin' by Rio Rhythm Band on the then pirate radio station Kiss FM, this led to it being released on Eddie Richards' BAAD label. The Eon releases started in 1988 with

'Light, Color, Sound', his first release on Vinyl Solution.

There followed many Eon releases on VS including 'Spice','Basket Case', 'Fear the Mind Killer' & others, including 'Inner Mind' (featured in the trashy college dance segment of the original Buffy the Vampire slayer movie!)
