  • Heralded as the label that prevents kids from turning emo, Ed Banger releases a second compilation featuring tracks by Klaxons, Justice and Uffie. ‘Ed Rec Vol. 2’ is out this week. French label Ed Banger specialises in over-the-top party music, incorporating electro, rock riffs, disco and house into very tidily packaged releases indeed. But you knew that already. What to expect from label comp volume two? (Don’t look on the CD racks for volume one, which was a digital-only release from late last year.) There’s distorted synth overload from Justice on ‘Phantom’, a new track from DJ Mehdi’s ‘Stick It’ and a freeform remix of Klaxons by So-Me among the fourteen tracks. For an intro to the album and the Ed Banger label, check out this nice animated video preview of the album, or a this profile of Ed Banger label boss Pedro Winter (aka Busy P) from the recently issued Slices DVD mag. In other Ed Banger news, watch out also for a new Justice EP in April. ‘Ed Rec Vol. 2’ tracklist 1. Mr Oizo - Intra 2. Uffie - Dismissed 3. Justice - Phantom 4. DJ Mehdi - Stick It 5.
