Biography
[edit]Edward discovered drum and bass during the late '90s but didn't release his first production until 2012. The first recording to bear his name was a Jakwob and Etherwood remix of Lana Del Rey's "Video Games"; he also played guitar as part of Jakwob's band. He made his proper debut that November, when he appeared on Hospital Records' Sick Music 3 compilation with "Give It Up," an emotive track laced with multiple melodic keyboard lines. The similarly emotive "Spoken" was placed on Hospitality Drum & Bass 2013 in January 2013[6]
His eponymous debut album Etherwood was released on 4 November 2013 through Hospital Records' imprint label Med School. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 91,[7] the UK Dance Chart at number 4[8] and the UK Indie Chart at number 11.[9] Allen has also received airplay on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra shows.[10][11] He also peaked at number four on Billboard 's "Next Big Sound" chart,[12] and won the "Best Newcomer DJ" and "Best Newcomer Producer" awards at the 2013 D&B Arena awards.[4] He was described by Nozstock: The Hidden Valley as "undoubtedly one of the most promising young talents in the scene today".[13]
Allen provided guest vocals for Fred V & Grafix's song "Forest Fires", released on 16 June 2014, which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 77.[14] He curated the first of Hospital Records' Hospital Mixtape compilation series, and Hospital Mixtape: Etherwood was released on 23 May 2014.
The lead single from Etherwood's second album, "You'll Always Be a Part of Me", was released on 16 March 2015. It was followed by the second single "Souvenirs" (feat. Zara Kershaw), which was released on 8 June 2015,[15] and the third single "Light My Way Home" (feat. Eva Lazarus), released on 28 August 2015. His second studio album, entitled Blue Leaves, was released on 4 September 2015 and entered the UK Albums Chart at number 47.[16]
Two singles, "Bear's Breeches" (feat. Anile) and "Fire Lit Sky" were released in 2017 before the release of his third album, "In Stillness".
