Biography

Eddy Temple-Morris hosts XFM's specialist show The Remix on Friday nights from 10pm till 1am. The strapline for the show is "where dance rocks", and includes dance remixes of indie and rock hits, plus up and coming dance music of the dance rock crossover variety. Most weeks there is also a 30 minute mix from a guest DJ, producer or artist called the Superchunk. The show, which was co-presented/produced by James Hyman (1999-2003) popularised the mashup genre, with a section called Bedroom Bedlam dedicated to unofficial bootleg remixes. Many established names in the mash up scene, including Go Home Productions, Freelance Hellraiser, Loo and Placido and Osymyso, got some of their earliest plays on the Remix Show. Also, Kasabian, 2ManyDJs, Simian Mobile Disco and Justice received their first ever air play on his show.

On the production side Eddy remixes with Tom Bellamy from The Cooper Temple Clause under the moniker Losers. Some of their remixes appeared on a new double album, compiled and mixed by Eddy, called Dance Rocks, which was released in April 2007 on UK label Botchit & Scarper. More recently Losers have remixed Gossip, Rage Against the Machine, The Presets and Dragonette. Their debut album will see a release towards the end of 2008.

Eddy also regularly DJs at rock, electro and indie crossover nights around the UK and Europe, as well as supporting The Prodigy when they tour the UK. He is also the current support DJ for Pendulum and The Delays.

His own night, The Remix All Nighter, a spin off from the radio show, takes place twice a year at SE1 in South London. Remix Night events occasionally take place elsewhere in the UK, and in Autumn 2006 Eddy TM headlined a Remix Night UK tour.

Eddy also helped co-founded Manumission's Ibiza Rocks, and now headlines his own weekly night in Ibiza at Es Paradis. He also programmes stages at the UK's Glade and Secret Garden music festivals.

Before joining XFM, he was the main presenter on MTV show Up for It Live, presented shows for Atlantic 252 & BBC Hereford & Worcester and co-presented the Pepsi Chart on Channel Five.

He is the son of Labour peer Peter Temple-Morris.
