Graduating from a pair of 'belt driven turntables', Ed has been telling his story on some of the hottest sound systems in NYC, across the states and abroad. House music was now the beginning, and everything in between was part of his story. From the sounds of spiritual vocals, African Tribes and Vibes, to the mellowness of the strings, his diversity of music and his passion brings life to any dance floor as he tells his story. He is now the CEO of "dunnEASY" music and he has released its first single today on Jellybean Soul Records. The song title is called “Ready to Loveâ€, featuring the lovely voice of Ms. Tricia Angus and an amazing flute solo by Jay Rodriguez (from the Groove Collective). Ethan White of Tortured Soul did his thing on the keys as well. It is presently available for digital download on http://www.traxsource.com.

Due to the recent sale of Astroland (and imminent demise of old Coney Island), this is sure to be the biggest one yet; expect the usual mob at Nathan's and the unusual opportunity to fall in love with a suitor on stilts. The Parade is followed by "Sandcastles on the Coney Island Boardwalk" feat. DJ's Kervyn Mark (Melting Pot NYC/Pause) and Preston Brown spinnng all types of danceable soul grooves. Come on out and join us on one of Coney Island's best days of the summer! We can't wait to see you there!
