Born in Spain and active since 2013, EdOne has steadily built his profile within the melodic and progressive spectrum of electronic music.

His debut release arrived on Steve Lawler’s VIVA MUSiC, setting the tone for subsequent outings on Defected and Material. A two-year collaboration with Bodden followed, bringing wider recognition through ‘Do It’ on OFF Recordings, which climbed to #2 on Beatport’s Deep House chart and drew support from more than 400 artists.
After a serious car accident temporarily halted his momentum, EdOne returned with renewed focus. Since then, he has released on Innervisions, Siamese, HABITAT, Renaissance, Global Underground, Bedrock, Stil vor Talent, TAU, Monaberry, and MoBlack, with more than 15 tracks reaching Beatport’s Top 10. His work continues to draw support from Dixon, Âme, Adriatique, Mind Against, Maceo Plex, John Digweed, and Oliver Koletzki. In 2021, he launched Surrrealism, a project that merges music, visual identity, and events under one cohesive concept.
Now, EdOne returns to HABITAT with his four-track ‘Show Me Love’ EP. The release follows his contribution ‘Madness Diary’ to the ‘METAFLORA III’ compilation and further refines his balance between melodic tension and club functionality, including a collaboration with Rotterdam’s Beswerda.
With ‘Show Me Love’ now out, EdOne opens the doors to his studio process, breaking down the mindset behind his productions — from protecting creative flow to refining mix precision and developing the mental discipline required for longevity.
1. Go with the flow and enjoy.
Making music out of obligation and under pressure is the biggest mistake you can make. It’s happened to me many times, and the result was never what I wanted. When an artist flows and makes music without pressure or rules, the result is much better. Let your imagination run wild and don’t pressure yourself to conform to patterns or styles; you’ll be glad you did.
2. Be careful with your mix and master.
As many of you know, I’m a sound fanatic. I can tell you that a good mix can transform a track from awful to incredible. Be careful and pay close attention to the sound; it’s not just about having good ideas. Everything counts, and sound quality is crucial when submitting to a record label. From gain staging to sample selection.
3. Make music every day.
The more music you make, the better music you’ll make. If you’re not a genius, you need practice. It’s like a video game: the more you play, the further you’ll get. Consistency beats talent.
4. Fewer Layers, More intention.
One of the biggest mistakes we make at the beginning is adding too much. When something isn’t working, we tend to add instead of subtract. A good exercise: mute tracks until the song almost breaks down. If it works with a few elements, it will work in a club.
5. The Real Lesson
Discipline, pressure, and long-term vision. I’ve realized that producing music at a certain level isn’t just about creativity—it’s mental discipline. People see the result, they don’t see the doubts, they don’t see the days when everything sounds empty, they don’t see the internal pressure to outdo yourself every single time. And when you start entering a more serious circuit, you’re no longer competing with others. You’re competing with yourself.
