Eddie Piller

British broadcaster, DJ, antique dealer, and head of Acid Jazz records (born 1962/1963?).

Piller was born into the mod scene (his mother was head of a fan club for the mod band Small Faces) and came in with soul music early-on. He began with DJing in the early 1980s (time of the punk initiated mod revival) combining soul, mod, ska, and punk in his sets.

In 1987, after running the record labels Acid Jazz label. Before that, he created the "Acid Jazz" style; playing together in clubs a mix between Psychedelic Jazz, 1970s Funk, Hip Hop and Soul. The name was the result of a joke about the big acid house boom in England at this time, when someone asked: "What music is this?", he answered: "Acid Jazz".

The years around 2020 he compiled some Jazz-Compilations (together with his friend Martin Freeman) and later in the beginning of the 20's some massive "Mod-insprired" Compilations on Vinyl and CD (6 LP-Boxes, Double-LP's and 4 CD-Boxes).
