Biography

If there’s one track that defined the early 1990s rave scene and wound its way into the collective consciousness, it’s Liquid’s seminal ‘Sweet Harmony’. An irresistible layering of classic house over rolling, breakneck beats; it has stood the test of time to become a record box or digital staple of DJs up and down the country and all over the world, recently inspiring the Saatchi Gallery rave exhibition of the same name. The man behind Liquid is Eamon Downes. Following the explosive success of ‘Sweet Harmony’ in 1991, after he and Shane Heneghan signed to XL Recordings, then releasing the pioneering and experimental Future Music EP, featuring the dark, atmospheric and breakbeat dub classic ‘Liquid is Liquid’. Following Shane's departure, Eamon’s reputation for producing challengingly alternative floorfillers was cemented with ‘Time to Get Up’ and the Balearic-tinged, flamenco guitars of ‘One Love Family’. Both of which were Mixmag Singles of the Week. Liquid have, with Top 20 singles in the UK and numerous hits in Europe, achieved huge commercial success while maintaining critical acclaim. 2017 saw the sold-out, limited vinyl release of the slamming album ‘Energy Flows’ and in early 2018 there was a further sold-out vinyl album - ‘Spacemonkey’ - on Knightforce Records. New music is coming end of the year and early 2019 on Tripalium in France; a collaboration with Pete Cannon on N4 Records; and an EP with Chicago house legend Fast Eddie.
