In 1989, 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 Hardcore dance music, Rave music 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 8.00 am to 12.00 pm 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.

Control
Show me
You're not in control
Show me
Control, show it
You're not what you wanna take
You're not in control
Show me
Control
Staring in your eyes
I felt my desire
You can't take control
Of the love we fight
Control, show me
Take control, show me
Show me control
You're not what you wanna look
You and me will take control, control
And with this time make it all on
You and me will take control, control
And with this time make it all on
Show me, show me, show me, show me all I ever want
Control
Show me, show me, show me all I... What you want
All we're fighting by the thought of losing out your beat alone
Won't be the one who has to sleep without you
By the time I know I want my way I know that you you wanna take me home
Let it happen and you'll be the one to
Well take the time to comprimise, no backing down
Says who, nothing else will ever come between us
Leave you with nothing else to say
No use in telling me what to do
All this be the one that you know, you trust
Let me catch my breath
Hold me to your chest
Feel our hearts cut out
From the other side
Keep it close to you
Until the night is through
You stood in control
From the other side
You and me will take control, control
And with this time make it all on
You and me will take control,
And with this time make it all on, control
Show me
Control, show me
Control, show me
You're not what you wanna take
Slow it down
Slow it down
The lyrics of DJ EZ's song "Control" call for the relinquishment of control, a plea to one's lover to show that they are not in control. The repetition of the word "control" throughout the song emphasizes its importance and the singer's desperation to see proof of the other person's lack of control. The lyrics suggest that love fights against control and that the two cannot coexist. The line "You and me will take control" hints at a shared mutual control rather than one-sided power.
The lyrics of "Control" also include themes of desire and compromise, with the singer suggesting that both parties should work together to find common ground. The lyrics "All we're fighting by the thought of losing out, your beat alone, won't be the one who has to sleep without you" suggest that the fear of loss is what drives the couple's struggle for control. However, the lyrics also suggest that the singer is willing to compromise in the relationship, saying "Let me catch my breath, hold me to your chest, feel our hearts cut out from the other side." The sense is that the two can find a balance between control and compromise, allowing them to take control together.
