2002 saw UFO! releasing an original material CD on Thermal Recordings, called "The Future is Listening”. Releases include a mix CD on Vortex called “Maelstrom,” and a special edition mix CD for Circa footwear. UFO! has worked Hive, Echo, and Techno producer John Tejada.
Producing and performing for nearly two decades, UFO! continues to edge forward, staking a position on the outward perimeter of music. Inertia is something this artist has had little use for in the past. Though widely regarded as one of the US's pioneering drum 'n bass artists and DJs, UFO! is poised to reinvent himself as a musician yet again, rising from the miasma of an ever-mutating underground music scene.
A San Francisco native, UFO!—born Ed Garro—was musically baptized by hip hop in the late '80s and early '90s. Mixing and scratching alongside fellow DJs QBert, Shortcut, Quest, and D-Stylz, UFO! quickly ascended to the ranks of battle DJ, learning the skills and exercising them every chance he had. From his youthful days in hip hop, Ed found himself enthralled with the new urban sounds of London: hardcore, jungle, and drum 'n bass. In it he saw a portal into the future, wider than any before. He stepped through, and soon after formed San Francisco's Phunckateck crew in 1996, performing alongside frontrunners such as Goldie, Dieselboy, Photek, and Roni Size at the collective's seminal weekly events. Since then, he has released more than two dozen singles on labels such as Thermal, Position Chrome, Phylum, Vortex, Commercial Suicide, Green, and Phunckateck Communications. He also released his first album, The Future is Listening, on Thermal in 2001, one of the first full-length albums produced by an American drum 'n bass artist.
A move to New York in 2000 brought UFO! to new musical terrains. Not content to rest on his past sterling rep in drum 'n bass, and dissatisfied with what he perceived as the genre's stagnation, he began to delve into the city's skyrocketing dance rock and electroclash scenes, dabbling as much with playing live bass as with the 808. During his time on the east coast, UFO! saw several of his productions featured in new media forums, including on MTV and the hit TV series, CSI:NY.
UFO!'s forthcoming album on Sanguine Recordings, Logic Is Lunacy, finds him turning even further down a new artistic corner—making him the perfect first artist to sign with the future-gazing label. The album is UFO's most dance floor-ready output to date, and his first venture into the 4/4 format. While retaining his signature love of hard, loud distortion and meticulous sound design, the album traces an arc that incorporates a myriad of new forms and styles. From low-end techno to shattered electro-ballads to hook-laden synth rock, UFO! deconstructs and re-fabricates various genre influences in the forge of his imagination. Logic Is Lunacy may also be UFO!'s most personally intimate release, featuring the artist in the role of vocalist for the first time. Ribbons of darkness weave through his lyrics, glittering dimly against his tracks' pop melodies with emotional musings on loves and loss reconciled.
UFO! remixed a track for Hollywood Records, rock band Tinfed, called “Drop”, and several singles including “Tech has Taken Over Me”, “Sideswipe” (produced with Kaos) and “Besame” (produced with Arqer and Realtime).
“Enemy Infiltration”, an anthem of 1999, blazed across the U.S. and abroad. The stunning string arrangement on the track had producers from the revered Trouble on Vinyl label from the U.K. sampling it for one of their own releases called “Mission Control”.

Do It
UFO! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her high-heeled shoes go clickity-clack
Sweet, sweet Suzy dress way low
Does a dance just to let you know
(1) You wanna feel it, feel it
Breaks your heart if you don't leave her alone
Feel it, feel it
It's one quick walk out in the danger zone
(2) Oooh, it's a love that makes you burn
Oooh, well a promise that you can see
Ooh every head she can she turns
Ooh (well that's love) (when you get that love to keep)
The boys' in Danny's bar and Grill
Swapping stories on the old cheap thrill
But you pick up the air as she walks in
She'll never talk much or try it again
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Every night she makes you dream a little more
With a smile that opens every door
In her eyes you'll see the promises
One kiss tells everything
[INSTSRUMENTAL]
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Some girls you live with and some you need
This one's the girl that's gonna make you bleed
See her strut she moves from head to toe
What you ain't got she'll never know
(1)Repeat
(2)Repeat and fade
The lyrics to "Do It" by UFO present a story about a woman named Suzy who captures the attention of everyone in the room with her dance moves and allure. The description of the jukebox playing and Suzy's high heels "clickity-clacking" create a vivid image of the scene. The lyrics suggest a warning to those who are interested in Suzy, as she seems like a dangerous love interest. The repetition of "you wanna feel it, feel it" and "it's one quick walk out in the danger zone" emphasizes this warning.
The second verse suggests that Suzy's love is intense and seductive, but also potentially problematic, with lyrics such as "it's a love that makes you burn" and "every head she can she turns." Nonetheless, Suzy's promise of love is still something that draws people in, and "one kiss tells everything."
The final verse suggests that Suzy is a woman who demands attention and will never settle for less, with lyrics such as "What you ain't got she'll never know." The repeated phrases of the chorus and verse create a feeling of urgency and desire, as if the listener is being warned while simultaneously being pulled in by Suzy's charisma.
