RA on Jus-Ed: A somewhat late starter as far as his productions go, Jus-Ed (real name Edward McKeithen) has been in the game for longer than most of you have been present on this planet. Starting his DJ career at the age of ten, he found himself playing 45's at family house parties as an excuse to stay up past his bedtime. After establishing himself as an in-demand DJ in his home town, Ed decided to give up DJing due to a combination of substance abuse and business dealings gone awry. It wasn't until the turn of the millennium that he decided to return to the world of music, after encouragement from Pittsburgh's DJ Vic Money persuaded him to come out of retirement. Together they started to throw parties under the Underground Quality name, and the label was launched a few years later in 2005.
Whilst the label serves mostly as a vehicle for his own raw house grooves, Ed is also keen to use UQ as a platform for his favourite artists to gain more exposure. Russian deep house producer AntonZap has made quite a name for himself through Jus-Ed's advocacy, and you can find a couple of his tracks on this very podcast. Elsewhere in the mix you'll find forthcoming cuts from Dial head honcho Lawrence, Lerosa and Jus-Ed himself; all blended in with a fine selection of cuts old and new. Unlike his weekly radio show for myhouse-yourhouse.net, Ed eschews his usual brand of charismatic banter to let the tunes do the talking in this sumptuous mix of bumpin' deepness. We caught up with Ed by e-mail to chat about landscaping, his talented son and his plans for the rest of the year.
