2) Edu, otherwise known as Eldar Abdulajev, was born in Lithuania in 1985. He never listened to electronic music. Never was interested in music at all… until…
… When he was 15, a friend gave Edu a CD with some electronic tunes on it. That changed everything. "I realized that I can try and do something like that," he tells us. "I tried a lot of different software. I really liked what I was doing, and eventually, I found the right program for me. Like most people of my age (at the time) - it was Fruity Loops. I spent about 2 years just trying to do something different from the others, looking for the right style. I tried Drum and Bass, Dream Dance, Funky, Tribal, and many other styles of electronic music."
In 2004, Edu moved to the UK. He started listening to UK Progressive House, and… that was it. He made some tunes in that style, and they were successful. The first release, "Arpy Life", came out in 2007, the same year that Edu won a competition for a remix of a track called "Baraka's Violin". "After that, I started to make my tunes more complicated and with more attention to the general sound quality." Edu had some releases on some small labels, but the real debut was in 2008, when Edu signed to Lost Language and released a melodic track called "Someday". It was very successful, supported by some big names like Markus Schulz, Solarstone, Jon O'Bir and Paul van Dyk, as well as many other djs around the world. "I'm new in this business, but it's going well. I hope it will go even better."
Edu likes melodic, positive sounding music, with a good dancing rhythm and groovy, progressive bass lines. He's always trying to make his tunes like that.
Mayday
Edu Lyrics

So ground control over and out
My last message I′m sending out
I'm going home, not coming back
Mayday, mayday I'm going down Are you f**king ready now
Mayday, mayday I′m going down
Guess I won′t be coming home
I walk this road alone
I'm heading for the sun
Build a fire in my veins
I kinda like the pain
Collide to become one
I′ll save the world, I'm a rocket man
So ground control over and out
My last message I′m sending out
I'm going home, not coming back
Mayday, mayday I′m going down Are you f**king ready now
Mayday, mayday I'm going down
The song Mayday by EDU is a powerful and emotional piece about an astronaut who is on a doomed mission. The astronaut knows that he will not survive and is sending out his final message before he dies. The lyrics are reflective of his acceptance of his imminent death but also show his determination to be remembered for being a hero who tried to save the world. He is a "rocket man" who wants to be remembered for his bravery and his willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
Mayday is a distress signal which is used in aviation to indicate an emergency. The repeated use of the word "Mayday" in the song is a powerful indication of the astronaut's dire situation. The lyrics "Guess I won′t be coming home, I walk this road alone" exemplify his acceptance of his fate and show his willingness to take on the challenge of saving the world, no matter the costs. The pain and isolation he feels is evident in the line "I kinda like the pain" which shows the bittersweet nature of the mission he is on.
Overall, the song Mayday is a powerful reminder of the risks that come with trying to achieve greatness. It beautifully depicts the heroism and determination of the astronaut as he accepts his fate with grace and courage.
