Øistein Johan Eide (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈœʏˈstæɪn jʊˈhɑnː ˈæɪˈdə]; born 10 September 1974 in Bergen), better known by his stage name Boom Jinx is a music producer, composer, audio technician, sound designer and DJ hailing from Norway.
In 1989, Boom Jinx started making music with SoundTracker developed for the Commodore Amiga computer. As a teenager, he spent more time making music than attending elementary school. When he was hired as a freelancer to do music for a major US game developer in 1991, he decided to pursue a career in music. After building a career in the advertising, video game, TV and film industry, he turned his attention to dance music in 2005. Despite a limited number of releases, Boom Jinx quickly developed a reputation for productions that showcased a high level of intricate detail and subtle nuances.
Singles such as "Come Play Perfect" and "Remember September" received top reviews by DJ Magazine and URB, and his releases enjoyed support from leading DJs such as Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten and more.
Boom Jinx's production "Manipulator" premiered alongside Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous Girl" as "hot new track" on BBC Radio 1 and was licensed to the hit television show CSI: Miami when it was the most popular TV series in the world.
