Eddie Amador
Eddie Amador is an American house music record producer and remixer. He is also the founder of the Mochico and MochicoPrimo record labels.[1]
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Amador studied mechanical engineering at Arizona State University while moonlighting as a hip hop DJ. In 1996, he earned a bachelor's degree and relocated to Los Angeles. There he took a day job in engineering while devoting evenings to practicing the craft of writing and producing house music. After a year of labor, Amador released "House Music" — his first single — in 1998. It peaked at #37 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] The single's success garnered Amador a recording contract with Yoshitoshi Records.
Amador established his own record label, Mochico, in 2001.[3] Two years later, he moved to Amsterdam, where he signed a new recording contract with ID&T in 2005.[4] While living in Amsterdam, Amador also teamed with Belgian producer Tom de Neef, and the duo released a handful of singles and remixes under the alias Bazement Freakz. Amador continues to oversee releases on his MochicoPrimo label.
