DJ EZ (pronounced E-Zed) is a DJ from Tottenham, North London, specialising in UK garage music.
At the age of 15, EZ (known at the time as Easy O) started his radio career on a pirate radio station called Dance 93FM playing house music, where he remained for 4 years. In early 1994, EZ set up his own pirate radio station based in Tottenham called Dimension FM, playing mostly rave and house music. Dimension FM didn't last long due to being closed down by the authorities. EZ then landed himself a 4-hour Saturday and Sunday morning show from 8.00am to 12.00pm on another pirate station - Freek 101.8 FM (it was at this time that he changed his name from Easy O to EZ). As EZ started getting more well known he was given extra show time and was also made a member of the station's management team. DJ EZ then started his own weekly club night called Club Z at the Gas Club in central London. DJ bookings for EZ started to soar and he was playing an average of 4 clubs a night every weekend.

And like that it's over
Some more goodbyes for us to go through
You're out the door
And it seems like this time next year
We can't be here
No more endless summers
Fates disappeared...
'Cause it's in my head
The things you said
You don't trust me now to be
Your best friend, it's all been read
In everything you said to me
But I don't mean this
And you don't see
Just thoughts that I can't show you
You don't trust me
When I come home
It'll be the same way
