John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Eon with John Peel in 2002

Ian Loveday, better known as Eon or Eøn (22 September 1954 – 17 June 2009), was a British rave pioneer. Born in 1954, Loveday was the son of violinist Alan Loveday and pianist Ruth Stanfield. His tracks made their way to early 1990s pirate radio stations in London, and then out on vinyl through small labels like BAAD and Vinyl Solution. He released Void Dweller, with its dark and hard driving beats, on Columbia Records in September 1992; it used samples from David Lynch's Dune, The Outer Limits, and themes from the horror movie Basket Case.

Eon's sound was a link between the early Detroit techno and contemporary dance music. In the early 1990s, this release was shared between DJs and musicians and was very influential. Eon was known for the acid techno song called "Spice" which was released in November 1990. Later in his career, he worked with Baby Ford and Bizarre Inc., and released singles on Trelik Records and Electron Industries.

Links to Peel[]

Peel had a copy of Eon's debut single, 'Light Colour Blind', which he played on his shows in late 1988. Further material from the dance producer was also played through the late 80's and early 90's, including a session recorded in 1991. In 2002, after a gap of 11 years and 2 months, a second session by the artist was recorded live at Maida Vale for Peel's programme, which consisted of seven tracks. Interestingly Peel did not play any tracks from Eon on his BBC Radio One shows via his studio albums or singles during that year.
