5 years ago back in february 2003 in montmartre (paris, france) pedro winter aka busy p created the ed banger record label. most of the artists have been discovered by pedro, and often live near the labels office. over the past 2 years the rise of the label has been something like a phenomenon, with all artists being on a worldwide tour (dj and/or live) at sold out venues, each appearance always long awaited and celebrated like a the coming of the messiah by thousands of raging kids from each and every part of the world. drawing on the street energy of hip hop, rocks explosion and hypnotic compression of techno music, but remaining open to all other influences, the sound of the label, mostly electronic and saturated, has become a trademark, registered worldwide. justice, busy p, uffie, feadz, mehdi, dsl, oizo, vicarious bliss, mr flash, krazy baldhead, sebastian and so: mes post cartoon imaging are practically pop culture icons, especially within the new web media (myspace, blogs, forums) where ed banger remain one of the unbeatable masters of its use. this third volume of the labels own compilation features 12 new tracks and mixes.

another wicked hard techno slammer from the rework boys!! these germans sure know how to rock and they proof it every time. this time a pulsating beat transforms into an evil vocal anthem! andy lee, known from his releases onfrisbee tracks, i220 and his own label, register and also well known for his very long dj-sets especially in frankfurt at the u60311, but also in the rest of europe, is the new artist on byron bogues s label, eruptive records. 2 technoid trax with sophisticated arrangements and very good designed sounds, made for the peak time. byron bogues s remix is a percussive rocket. a very nice mixing-tool for all style of techno and house

next big hip shakin strike from the ostwind camp !! especially for summertime.. further support comes from shlomi aber, the glitz, jeff samuel, kollektiv turmstrasse, florian meindl and pawas.. frank nova is known from the duo monoroom and their own label freunde tonträger

taken from the upcoming mix cd!! already big with: stephan bodzin & dubfire oliver huntemann has been doing his thing for quite a while, under various guises, as dj and producer. since 1995 he has been running the confused rec. label (plus sub-labels). >play! 01 live - sao paolo/brazil< in 2007 was the predecessor of his current mix album >play! 02 live - rex club/paris<. especially for this event oliver has produced a new single: >play! 02 ep - paris/la boum<. it seems that these two tracks are able to be the next big thing. already played by big names such as dubfire, stephan bodzin and many others!

samuel rouanet aka reynold aka duplex 100 (together with phil stumpf) also boss of trenton is releasing here his first full ep on his own label. after a year of serious boredom when it comes to techno music and especially what is the so called >minimal< sound, he decided to release what is his own vision of dance music. >poison in my mind< has a strong bass line and triplets chords that drives you while the melody comes in and out. >blue steel< is more of an old school anthem with strings and detroit vibes. >craft<“ is what reynold does the best, electro deep cinematographic tune, close to the work he did on persona with his >my favorite film< album. >like it or leave it

>ohhhh this is nice!< shit robot (dfa) >j adore that thing!< joakim (tigersushi) >very good edits< jerry bouthier (boombox) >really enjoying them. definitely want to play them of my radio show< tim sweeney (beats in space) >many thanks for these, all of them are fantastic.. groove me have been fave of mine for yonks..< pete herbert >i really like -that thing- and -my time- your time< nico de céglia >these edits are really great< matt walsh (turbo rec) >straight shooter is hot< jacques renault (runaway) >thanks for these edits< andreas leander (24hours blog) >those 3 edits are great especially the groove me edit which is a great favourite track of mine< alex from tokyo > love the edits but my fave of cosmo is still that pete shelley one!< roy dank (xlr8r) >great stuff!< dj morpheus >these edits rock !!! will play all three of them, this is just what i need in my sets! merci beaucoup cosmo< yannick labbé (tricski)

streetwise was one of the seminal dance labels of the eighties, responsible, with its subsidiary imprint partytime, for several important and influential examples of the dance genre. several of its releases were indicative of the directions that both dance and r&b would take over the next few years. the signing of vocal group new edition and their resulting hit candy girl is generally acknowledged as the beginning of the boy band phenomenon, and the labels last hit, music is the answer, was also a key element in the rise of house music. the label lasted for only a few years before falling victim to its own success and the related success of its owners, especially revered producer and remixer, arthur baker. here is a selection of streetwises greatest 12inch mixes, gathered from the archives during streetwise reign over the dance market presented on this vinyl.

originally from columbus, ohio and now residing in new york city, myungho choi issues four new tracks on a touch of class. on these four dizzying tracks, choi again powers his stampeding funk grooves, ecstatic voices, and somersaulting rhodes melodies with classic soul bass lines. his stoked mix of soul, jazz, and house proves exhilarating in the steaming strutter lovin you today and high velocity disco anthem shakin bricks. less aerodynamic and earthier by comparison, the low slung party funk groove in how long till dawn would sound perfectly at home in a parliament funkadelic set, especially when voices chant shake and havin fun and horns blaze over a steaming stomp. the closer we aint leaving revisits the benson funk style of moment by moment by looping a guitar vocal fragment over a relentless minimal disco pulse. this ep. is without a doubt a true disco house infection and a definite one for the dance floor, which is not to be missed.

joseph capriati caused a big stir in the scene when his massive tunes on analytic trail 17 were released. this hit got repressed several times already and is still selling big numbers. especially for labelowner of both mkt and analytic trail he cooperated with the man himself markantonio

4 smashing tracks by fl-x are on this ep. this producer of hardtechno is on the rise, especially after his first vinyl release in 2007 on the spanish label killfactory recordings. furthermore he has a partnership for bookings with the spanish agency trivialmusik, which made him popular the past year, especially in spain

sometimes, its still worth not to waste your youth with nonsense but to learn to play an instrument. like in the case of sebastian mullaert, who has learned to play violin, organ and piano, while his partner marcus henriksson rather came from kraftwerk and human league to electronic music. as son kite, the two swedes have already a well-known name in the psy-trance scene, and as minilogue, they now start to conquer the minimal and house world. with their rather unique sound, they manage the tightrope walk between minimal and trance and never allow us to put them into a drawer. especially with their debut on cocoon rec, minilogue present themselves in a different way, compared to their releases on traum or wagon repair. >jamaica< is a calm track at the first hearing and is perfect for building up a set. beginning with bird-like sounds, the track builds up slowly and quickly becomes very interesting and tricky, ramifies as organic as a climbing plant, and when the tribal sound emerges from the underground, this track has exactly what makes minilogue so special: organic matter and groovy sounds, worked into a minimal labyrinth with very much love for the details. all of that can also be found on the b side which seems to be more adequate for the morning hours, with its somehow spacey sound. with >jamaica<, mullaert and henriksson prove that they are floating on the very surface of the endless minimal ocean. and with their album >animals< being already in sight on cocoon recordings, one can be highly anxious of what is coming ahead, by minilogue and techno made in sweden

3 tracker especially made for those bigger rooms

lars klein known for his releases on planet rhythm, primate and fine audio is back with this fine release on bound records. the label of michael burkat & lars klein is still going strong and so it will in the future, especially with this big bomb by mr. klein himself! 2 dark minimal techno tunes and a kickless short cut...

bleepy electrohouse action especially made for the bigger rooms. includes mixes by dj jeroenski, bass monkeys, sugar and digital dog

this ultraphat technophunk monster is played by adam beyer, monika kruse !!! buster maniac has mostly been connected to the go!freitag label, which has received good feedback especially with its second release. on the first freaxow release, buster combines everything he has ever learned and delivers two great techno tunes a little dubby feeling on the flip

this is a very special tnt 12inch release in a series 0f 7 this is nr 2 each 12inch contains exclusive tracks/mixes licensed to the >no artichokes project< which is an italian foundation to educate clubkids and djs alike on the danger of drinking and drugging all night and driving/ being driven home.. so many people have been lost- especially in italy. profits go towards a website and board for relatives of victims.events like non liquor teenage raves

as one of the fundamental pillars and driving force behind some of the key projects of austrian electronic dance scene in the last two decades, vianna based philipp m. straub established himself as a household name in the world wide techno circuit, especially in the heart of europe. this 2-tracker is a reflection of his unique blend of electronic sounds stretching from down-tempo, chill out and broken beats to proper club techno - tip!-

a perfect example for the second category is the lnz013 track rezolution. even though limited on 500 white label copies, this hypnotic minimal trip became an incredible public success over the last two months. not only, but especially on ibiza, the feos & miroir production is regularly spinned by all important tech house djs. not set the dance floor alight or keep it ablaze with rezolution is a big faux pas the party crowd hardly could accept. due to the overwhelming demand for the lnz013 (and the fact that its sold out mostly everywhere) the label decided to press a second edition of this legendary tune. unlike the tria track of the limited vinyl, the flipside comes with a re-edit version of rezolution, produced by pascal feos studio mate chris wood. extended to 8.30 minutes of playtime, he retained all stunning sound elements of the original, re-arranged them, gave great new accents and lifted the track cleverly up to an even higher, minimal house energetic level. thats why we dont call it a b-, but aa-side track

yelle, the explosive rappin french girl, is covering an 80s electro-pop hit. when its mastered by her friend tepr, our friends punks jump up and riot in belgium : its a hit in the two hemispheres. parlez vous français ? yelle is young and pretty. also a very explosive character entering the more rigid french pop scene. this stage freak with a unique flow is fully driving the new non-aggressive girl power scene, focusing on delivering kick-ass lyrics. she also doesnt take herself seriously and is refreshingly laidback, especially when she proudly covers the song >a cause des garcons< (>what we do for boys<) a french 80s anthem, so thrilling and amusing, that it looks like a sure hit for the charts this summer. tepr has just released a single on wall of sound and hes back with his thrilling remix.

great follow up to the first part !! these are four especially wonderful, deep, clear, kicking and pumping tracks. a picnic in the techhouse land you never want to end, so fresh, free and so complete. involved in this project are stefan mallmann (whirlpool sex), el farouki (plastic city), neurotron (deep records) and m.rahn (trapez, regular). these four people have found their place, a far away island of musical ideas, which has to be discovered

the second part of this monster release from meat katie & d. ramirez. this part is especially interesting because of its remix from deep dishs dubfire!!!! pure minimal dubbed up heaven

supported by dj t, jeff samuel, alex kid, mike monday, laurent garnier, sian, tom clark and many more… incl. dachshund rmx !! p.toile is a dj and producer from berlin who dedicates her work to an international standard. her music roots in funk and soul of the seventies you still here in her sets. later on she developed from french house to minimal techno of the present time. her releases on trenton, gold und liebe, channel records and gasoline rec. are especially speaking to the more matured audience. her debut >sticklip ep< with remixes of pan/tone and frank martiniq immideatly reached the top 50 of groove magazine. trenta cinque stelle claudia produced together with tigerskin aka dub taylor and currently she is working with on some new releases.

nice price deal !!! slamming guitar driven electrohouse track. especially made for the bigger rooms. includes carl ryden and spencer & hill mixes

the reload and global communications remixes of tracks originally released as mystic institute. some amazing productions by mark pritchard and tom middleton which sounds still as fresh and exciting as almost 15 years ago. especially the global communication >ob-selon minos < is such an amazing piece of music!! smooth melodies with incredibly beautiful sounds really seduce the listener to go thru this 15 minute journey... and even that seems like only 3 minutes when they are over.

played by dfa, boris dlugosch, phones, maral salmassi, jerry bouthier, cajuan, freeform five… azzido da bass is certainly a busy boy! this year he has been touring the world playing various shows in bejing, london and singapore. and on top of running his own label >luscious sounds< he has managed to find time to write and produce yet another track for it. and here it is >so wrong< feat adrian holtz on vocals. after the success of his last single >lonely by your side< feat. jonny blake of zoot woman with remixes by booka shade and play paul, >so wrong< is set to be a winner especially with its grinding remix from speaker junk. so wrong starts off with a late 80s-tastic m.a.r.r.s influenced beat, until a pleasing thick and squidgy bass line bounces in…

vinyl sampler from shinedoes fuse-mix. part a includes the exclusive track >dialogue< that shinedoe made especially for this compilation, together with the all-time ron trent classic >feel the rhythm <

big tune !! once more, adam proll is impressing the audience with his latest release. especially >adamantido< persuades with its reflection of current moods and reminds of productions by martin landsky, booka shade or cocoon recordings producer guy gerber. a great emotional tech house tune with enough space for big feelings and open air mood. coming to >elevator<, adam proll is himself again and serves a buzzing and shuffled minimal techno track that rocks like hell. the track lives up to its name and definitely takes us one level higher on the dance floor. a nice forecast for the upcoming summer and a guaranteed floorfiller

attention: it s nu-rave time!! sureshot for all fans of klaksons, kitsune, erol alkan. ed banger !!! next up on 12 inches we release a song from kim. of the presets and modular fame. whoah kim your a party machine! a lot of kim music is making us shake lately but this one especially makes your brain shake. it starts off with a din din da da da da din din of a steel drum and some bongo s and rolls and rolls like indy basement jaxx techno making you feel like you are in some kind of psycadelic carnivale in brazil in a moshpit or something, the vocal screams, >by the time they reach you i ll probably be dead< it s the kind of song you would be listening too if you were to be stuck in a hotel room surrounded by hot naked brazilian strippers doing coke off their asses and tits

the track bandits series continues with legendary us house music producers diggin through the crates and adding new life, to lost forgotten disco/funk tracks, from the 1970s and 1980s us underground. the tbs this time dig that lil bit deeper to provide two more disco classics, cut up, extended and re arranged in an old skool re edit style especially for the dancefloor. first up we have the genius that is curtis mayfield with what is my woman for, taken from the 1979 album heartbeat on rso records us. the track gets the track bandits treatment turning it into a cosmic disco/boogie gem, whilst the flip sees lenny williams with please dont tempt me originally released on 12 in 1977 on abc records us. the track also appears on the album choosing you released in the same year on abc. this again gets the old skool edit treatment with the dancefloor in mind, making this another essential release by the track bandits

slamming funked up vocal bomb especially made for the bigger rooms includes an ian carey mix

big buzz around this track, especially when the olav basoski and thomas falke mixes where finished! big support from the house dj-elite!

played by magda, troy pierce , richie hawtin, daniel bell ...underground legend mark verbos produced the powerfully dark and sinister vocal techno track >big brother< in 1998 as part of an album project for the now defunct hyperspace label out of brooklyn, ny. promos of the single, including remixes from dj rush, john selway, and mike wade, got into the hands of the techno elite of the time. >big brother<, especially the john selway remix, was subsequently charted and entered into heavy rotation by the likes of sven vaeth and monika kruse, becoming something of an underground hit in germany

in the h&h produced song like a mountain, keith thompson gives us a memorable vocal performance, which he has showed us on many of his live sets, especially the miami conference. on top of this very melodic dj friendly mix come some catchy guitar hooks a must have

the sweetversion of let’s get down is based on a basic spanish guitarmelody with uplifting vocals and funky hihats. the funky guitar even gets a little outof tone sometimes, to give that real 12 inch feeling to it. the low bassline combined with the stabbing kick delivers a groovy summerfeeling to the track.the original mix is a powerful clubrecord with an electro twist. especially the fatchunky bassline puts the dance floor to work.the groove remix started out as a experimental version of lets getdown but the vocals were so catchy, playectra decided to produce a more groovy version of it. the rawsounding guitar and crushedhihats makes the track loose his sweetness to give the track a stronger and energetic feel. the long break in the middle of the track pushes the track to a climax. the filtered guitars and loud bassline makes the track a little bit french sounding

this debut ep from ditone delves deep into classic electro territory. ditones spaced out and epic electro beats share a similar vibe to carl finlow especially his and daz quayles classic il ek tro project. an excellent debut release and yet another new school glasgow talent to keep an eye on. highly recommended

kraze aka. richard jean laurent began songwriting and performing in 1985. in 1988 he created >i say shut up< and >the party<, who became a house music classics even before that term existed! these songs catapulted kraze into one of house music s first bonafide stars, making him performing at venues ranging from the best clubs to wembley arena and the prince of tunesia s home. he reached top 10 all over the world, but especially >the party< is still used from george clinton to david bowie to political campaigns to radio themes to coney islands.

after the fulminant launch of the label, modus operandi starts into the second round. this times releasing two new tracks of the gebrueder ton. der gelbe fluss streams like a sonic-river and carries anybody on who dares to come too close to the dancefloor. especially the second track denk an mich captures the ears of its listener. glass projekte – the latest track of the einmusik trio – this track develops massive, but not too heavy. and after the saw comes in it is all clear: go for the dancefloor, thats right. a very round thing, this record

new get physical sublabel !! these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the back drop of dry ice in a darkened club.marsha sets a completely different tone. its still based on the same blend of windy city funk and intricate electronic rhythms, but the way that the seductive, chiming chords and dreamy break down unfold over the steely drums suggest that einzelkind has fallen in love. certainly, itll be hard not to be seduced by this layered, evocative track, especially if you hear it after a long night spent listening to intense techno.so there you have it: get physical has dragged a new label, kindisch. kicking and screaming into this world: let it be the place where you go to get all your teenage kicks!
