Ian Loveday, better-known as Eon (died 17 June 2009)[1] was a rave pioneer. [2]

His tracks made their way to early 1990s pirate radio stations in London, and then out on vinyl through small labels like BAAD and Vinyl Solution. He released Void Dweller, with its dark and hard driving beats, in September 1992; it used samples from David Lynch's Dune and themes from the horror movie Basket Case.

His sound was a link between the early Detroit techno and contemporary dance music. In the early 90's this release was shared between disc jockeys and musicians and was very influential. Eon was known for the acid techno song called "Spice" which was released on November 1990. [citation needed]

Death

Ian Loveday died on 17 June 2009 of complications from pneumonia.[3]
