Biography Ethnically Calabrian and Campanian, EDX was born in Zürich to Italian parents; he credits his Italian heritage for his involvement with music from a young age as well as his summer visits to Italy and experience with the dance music culture there, which influenced his interest in DJing and producing music. EDX's earliest releases were cassette tape mixes in 1994 for the "Tarot Techno" party series at in Zürich. EDX released his first track, "I'm Not Interested", under Warner Music Switzerland in 1997. The following year, he formed his own record label, Club Control, on which he released several tracks including collaborations with Leon Klein. EDX's most well-known releases with Klein were "Gonna Catch You", which was picked up by Warner Music Switzerland, and DJ Dado's "Where Are You?" on Vale Music, both in 2000; the latter would peak at chart position #17 in Italy. The pair also released remixes of Kool & The Gang, Armand Van Helden, and Steve Angello. EDX also released several mix CDs during this time, both solo and with Klein, mostly for the Energy and Evolution series by Energetic Records, a sublabel of Warner Music. EDX returned to the music scene in 2007 with a more distinct progressive house style. His remix of Dubfire's "Roadkill" in 2007 featured on Armin van Buuren's Universal Religion Chapter 3. Over the following months, EDX released several more remixes, most notably of van Buuren's "The Sound of Goodbye" and Kaskade's "Angel on my Shoulder", the latter of which EDX credits for his breakthrough in the United States. He also collaborated with Tatana Sterba as a duo under the name Dobenbeck, releasing the track "Please Don't Go" featuring vocals by Sarah Vieth.
