The story of DJ Eddie Amador's 1998 classic "House Music" in his own words:
"I moved to California from Phoenix in 1996. I went out, and I felt a frustration in that there were only one or two venues in L.A. playing house. So I wrote those words, 'Not everyone understands house music/It's a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing.' It was in frustration over those promoters who were just out to pack venues instead of pushing a sound. They don't see house music as a marketable tool here. After writing those words back in 1998, I met a man on the street named Beat Street. I liked his voice and I asked him to talk into this Walkman cassette recorder, and he said those words. I took it home and put it in my sampler. I pressed white labels and freely gave them to DJs in L.A., and before you know it, I had a deal with Yoshitoshi [Deep Dish's acclaimed label]. That was my first release. Now I go to Europe and I test my music out on the crowds every weekend."
