1)The band starts during the summer of 2003 in Monterrey, an industrial city amongst majestic mountains in Mexico. Eon has participated in various national and international fests in Mexico along with many great bands such as: Leaves Eyes, Atrocity, Sentenced, Luzbel, Epica, Transmetal, The Gathering, Lacuna Coil, etc. The nominative “eon” is chosen because it reflects a long period of time yet not determined by exact human means. “People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Einstein
2)Eon, an alias for techno music artist Ian B. Loveday. Eon started his recording career in 1987 while dj’ing as Ian B (Mud Club, Pyramid, the Fridge & others) when he started producing his own music. Dj friend Colin Faver played his first track ‘Cuban Jakkin’ by Rio Rhythm Band on the then pirate radio station Kiss FM, this led to it being released on Eddie Richards’ BAAD label. The Eon releases started in 1988 with ‘Light, Color, Sound’, his first release on Vinyl Solution. There followed many Eon releases on VS including ‘Spice’,’Basket Case’, ‘Fear the Mind Killer’ & others, including ‘Inner Mind’ (featured in the trashy college dance segment of the original Buffy the Vampire slayer movie!) J Saul Kane aka Depth Charge was involved on many of the early Eon projects as co-producer, including the first Eon album ‘Void Dweller’ also released in the USA on Columbia Records.
Eon also remixed & produced tracks for Bizzare Inc including the classic ‘Raise Me’. Also during this period 88 - 93 he had the first releases on Hooj Toons & XL Recordings with the release of classic Rio Rhythm Band track ‘Carnival da Casa’ on Hooj Toons (now re-released with Christian J remix on Boombox Records) and ‘We Want Funk’ / ‘Happy Magic’ on XL.
In ‘93 he teamed up with fellow british acid pioneer Peter ‘Baby’ Ford producing many classic tracks including ‘Dead Eye’ (Ifach Records no.001), which was featured on Richie Hawtin’s ‘Decks FX & 909’ album & is now released as a single on his Plus 8 label. Peter Ford also co-produced ‘A Kind of Living’ with Eon (Vinyl Solution) and they worked together on ‘Fetish’ (Rhythm King/various) Then as Minimal Man they released ‘Outside the Window’ on Guerilla Records followed by the classic ‘Treatment Feel’ on Vinyl Solution. There followed many releases on various labels both in the UK & Europe. Latest Minimal Man release is ‘Plastic Smile’ on Sender Records featuring a remix by Benno Blome.
Eon has also released tracks on Peter Ford’s Trelik Records label as Tan Ru & R Rash, as well as an Eon EP on PAL-SL. The Trelik classic ‘Smokin Jakkit’ by R Rash has just been remixed by dj Luciano & is out now on Exacta Records.
Eon has performed live at Fabric and on Radio 1, & has worked with Mark Moore as remixer & co producer, Mark & Eon’s new remix of ‘Blame’ by Temposhark is going down a storm! As Sonny Bozo they released the 12” ‘Trash the Can’ / ‘Bang Bang’ on Umami Records, also on Umami is the ‘Magazines will kill you’ 12” which features Countess Zapak on lyrics & vocals & also a remix of the first Eon vs the Countess track ‘Broke Bitter & Twisted’ by legendary 80’s producer John Robie.
