A Physical Fraction

Okay so i havent really updated this blog since late 2009. But who cares right. Because im updating it now, and i guess thats what matters the most. I just recently fell head over heals again with my sweet old label of french love and distortion, Ed Banger and the rest of the Banger crew. These guys just know exactly how to make you get up and dance till you cant know more. Whether its to DJ Mehdi's Signatune, Uffies First Love, Daft Punks Around The World, Justice † Album, or even their highly recommended Fabric Rejected Mix. Jesus. I just cant get enough. Anyway. I thought I would be doing some well needed revival and what better way to start off 2010 (Im delayed I know) with some super funky Ed Banger Love! I will be posting varying articles regarding some of the Banger crew in weeks to come, I would say days but who am I kidding right?







Occasionally a record label emerges from the shadows of its predecessors that stands clear above the shoulders of their current peers and represents a scene or sound SO well that it seems that they ARE that scene. Well Ed Banger may well go on to achieve this. Very much the dance label of the new age rock and roll rebel with nothing to lose but some brain cells, this tidy French outfit represents a tasty stable of producers that are comprised of both professional producers and the balls - out rock and rollers who just get up on stage, thrash it out and realise they are very fucking good at what they do. Yeah:)







Ed Banger Records is the French electronic music record label run by Pedro Winter aka Busy P. Pedro managed Daft Punk from 1996 to 2008. It was founded in 2002 as a division of Headbangers Entertainment. The label is home to legendary French electronic acts such as Daft Punk / Justice / SebastiAn / Uffie / Krazy Baldhead / DJ Mehdi / Mr Oizo / Mr Flash / Vicarious Bliss / So Me / DJ Feadz / DSL / Mickey Moonlight / Breakbot / and Winter himself, under the alias Busy P of course.





All of the Ed Banger Records video and album art is coordinated and designed by So Me. The label enjoyed a dramatic rise in fame in early 2007 when a number of the artists signed to its roster found mainstream success, most notably French electronic group Justice, whose rework of "Never Be Alone" by now defunct electro - rock band Simian (members of which would later become Simian Mobile Disco), entered the UK charts at number 20. The track was a success in clubs worldwide and the music video for the single won the award for best video at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006. Labelmate Uffie also enjoyed a rise in fame in late 2006 when her single, 'Pop The Glock' gained international radio play.
