Hello! Back again for some posting. I've been on a downloading binge lately (surprised?) and I've rediscovered my love for one particular record label: Ed Banger.
This label is managed by Pedro Winter aka Busy P, the illustrious DJ who formerly managed Daft Punk. He's also quite the producer! Worth checking out are his older tracks like Rainbow Man and Chop Suey (the latter has explicit lyrics, hide yo kids) and his newer material like To Protect and Entertain. I saw him DJ with Justice a few years ago, and he was just incredible, as were they.
Speaking of Justice, they've released on Ed Banger as well! Not familiar? That's got to change. Justice is one of the most influential electro groups of recent years, laying the groundwork for countless imitators and some innovators. Worth listening to are...all of their tracks. Especially Phantom Pt 1 and 2, DVNO, Waters Of Nazareth, D.A.N.C.E., and their most recent single Civilization.
Other key artists on the label include Mr Flash, Mr Oizo, Vicarious Bliss, BreakBot, DJ Mehdi (that's right, vocals by Chromeo), Feadz, Uffie, and more. Even Squarepusher and Cassius have a release on Ed Banger. The member I'm currently obsessed with, however, is none of these. He's the composer of today's song of the day:
SebastiAn - Embody
This guy is awesome! He's been referred to as the "darker" side of Ed Banger, which I don't quite understand. Either way, he's very talented. His older releases like Ross Ross Ross and H.A.L. are sweet, and he's finally releasing an album on May 30th! There's a second single from the album that's been released, but before I link it I'm warning you about the video: It is X-Rated and not for the faint of heart. If that doesn't bother you yet then it will, but check out Total!
Enjoy the links, and look forward to more coming up!
