Busy P - 20 piges dans la Techno! (1992-2012)

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:53:19 GMT

Ed Banger records is proud to announce the release of LAURENT GARNIER's NEW EP

LAURENT GARNIER
TIMELESS EP
featuring the L.B.S crew

1/ JACQUES IN THE BOX
2/ "OUR FUTUR" loud disco mix
3/ "OUR FUTUR" deeper Detroit mix

I went to my first Rave in 1992, in the north of Paris, it was called SPASMES, since then I signed with the Techno devil!

The first "Rave music" CD I bought was LAURENT GARNIER "A bout de souffle EP" in 1993, quite happy with this choice. I also bought FELIX "Don't you want me" cassette at the supermarket? and some other ones but we're here to speak about my love for techno!

I discovered Paris night life at Rex club like most of my parisians party monsters
Thursday was "Wake Up", once a week LAURENT GARNIER invited the cream of Detroit, the Chicago mob or the UK techno godfathers and what Techno music has best to offer. It was more than 15 years ago, he was already a legend.
We're in 2012, the man is still traveling the world, spreading Electronic music in the clubs, on air and above.
The idea to release an EP on Ed Banger records was in my head for few years. My friends of DAFT PUNK often said "hip hop, jungle, techno, house no matter is what if the rhythm does". Ed Banger records is all about that!
Some Mojitos on the beach closed the deal! After a 3 hours back to back DJ set at Calvi on the Rocks I knew Laurent will accept my proposal.
LAURENT GARNIER is back, 2 Techno joints, not from concentrate, pure and modern. It's an honor to have him on board.

TSUGI magazine managed to catch Laurent & I for a long exclusive interview
to be published in the March issue. Stay tuned...

Busy P - Once upon a time Rick Rubin

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:00:58 GMT

It all started in 1989, I visited my brother in Canada, where he was living with my dad.
We went record shopping, probably one of the first time I was buying my own records,
my first real choices let's say. Before that I was just the little brother, listening to what the family was listening, following my brother's music taste ; Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Metallica, The Cure etc...
I ended up with a bunch of cassette tapes : RUN DMC "Tougher than leather", THE CULT "Electric" and BEASTIE BOYS "Licensed to ill"
Don't ask me why, but a funny name appeared on the credits of each tapes!
produced by RICK RUBIN
No need to lie to you, at that time I did not know what was the meaning of it and I don't think I really cared...
Skateboarding was all I had, every week-end, then almost everyday, I cruised in the streets of Paris. Naturally (thanx to Thrasher magazine)
I discovered SLAYER, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and DINOSAUR JR (but we don't need them here)
And again! THAT name RICK RUBIN was written in the credits, even in capitals on the back of the records.
Who's that guy ?
Is he the manager of the bands ? nop
Is he running the label or something ? nop... errr I mean YES! not always,
but wait, are you telling me that man created DEF JAM with Russell Simmons ???? The label of LL COOL J, BEASTIE BOYS, PUBLIC ENEMY... OUI it's him!
Oh I see now, he's also behind the clash AEROSMITH vs RUN DMC "Walk this way", what's wrong with that man, sorry I meant how cool is that ?
I remember watching the video on MTV (hello Headbangers Ball!), probably one of my first musical shock, that man is a genius!
Time goes on and here we are in 2008, Ed Banger records is only 5 years old, we released JUSTICE first album ? and the band is touring the USA.
RICK RUBIN is running Columbia records from his house in Malibu. Our friend Kevin works at Columbia emailed me saying RICK RUBIN loved the album!

"guys" (me speaking) "i just got a message saying RICK RUBIN loved the album!"
"shut up Pedro!" (the boys spitting on me)
"and he wants to meet you..." (me almost crying, yes yes I'm not shy sharing this with you now)

We drove all the way to Malibu and entered RICK RUBIN's world. For privacy reasons I will not speak about it here.
Rick asked the boys about sampling, compression, and few other producers fantasy, me I was just dreaming (awake)
We hang out, had a tea and took this memorable photo.

Time goes on and here we are in 2011, Ed Banger records is now 8 years old, we just released JUSTICE "Audio Video Disco" second album
and the band is about to tour the world.
RICK RUBIN is running Columbia records from his house in Malibu. Our friend Kevin is now Dilpo's manager emailed me saying RICK RUBIN loved the album!

"guys" (me speaking) "i just got a message saying RICK RUBIN loved the album AGAIN!"
I will not waste your time repeating the same jokes...
I prefer to share with you this piece of music, the kind of story you hear about someone meeting his hero.
RICK RUBIN accepted to RUIN (or remix) JUSTICE new single
Not only it's a dream, it's an honor to have him on board.

Monsieur DJ Double R I salute you!

So-me - Curb your groundhog

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:42:15 GMT

Hey fellas.

It's been a while. How come these bloggers remain relevant ?by posting once or several times a day? Are they in a NO LIFE situation ? Perhaps !

However, I'm back and I wanted to start the new year by sharing some useless information of my own.

Today is the third time that I spotted someone from the Groundhog Day cast in a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. #Journalism

I have to say I find it pretty weird. Preeettttyyy, pretty, pretty weird.
Here's the easiest one, the lady who beats Larry at the retirement house bingo :

Another easy one :

And a not so easy one :

Is there more ?
Is there any explanation to it ?
Am I going to stick to any of my 2012 resolutions ?

Probably not. Happy new year !

Busy P - SURKIN "USA"

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 16:08:54 GMT

Dear Santa...

Surkin - USA (Album Teaser) by Marble Music

Veuillez installer Flash Player pour lire la vid?o

CS Session Live - Surkin - I.N.Y.N

If it surprised few people, releasing and supporting SURKIN's first album (CD & LP) on MARBLE/ED BANGER RECORDS was a very natural move for me. Journalists often asked me who are the artists I wish I had signed on ED REC...
Since the early days of Ed Banger records SURKIN was not far, look at this classic party in Paris in 2006...

2007 first remix on Ed Banger records for his partner in crime DJ MEHDI
DJ MEHDI "Lucky Boy" SURKIN remix (circa 2007)

2008 SURKIN does it again! This time for JUSTICE. Did you know that Gaspard of ? is designing all the SURKIN's record sleeve ?
JUSTICE "DVNO" SURKIN remix (circa 2008)

THE ALBUM IS NOW AVAILABLE ON CD & LP ON COOL CATS

DJ Mehdi - TUNISIAN SUMMER MIX

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 09:41:42 GMT

My peoples,

Damn it was a hot summer. Combination of the CARTE BLANCHE REVUE tour and BUSY P+DJ MEHDI adventures kept me on the road almost non-stop since June and lack of updates here or there can attest.

Nevertheless, in partnership with the good blokes at TSUGI MAGAZINE, I have the pleasure to offer you this new SUMMER MIXTAPE, mixed live at Paris Social Club in August.
It's that usual mixtape momentum that you guys know I like: starting quite slow, creeping up to a couple of current favourite hits, and finishing with a classic throwback and a Hip-Hop tune. 2011 Time Capsule business. Here's the tracklist:

1. INTRO:?ANTONY & CURRENT 93 'Idumea'

2.?SUPER SUPER 'Boba'

3. DJ GREGORY 'Don't Panic'

4.?AUDIOJACK 'Jack The Keys'

5.?KINK 'E 79'

6.?ADONIS 'We're Rocking Down The House'

7.?GREGOR SALTO 'Messe Messe'

8.?DANCES WITH WHITE GIRLS 'It's About The House'

9.?JAMIE JONES feat. ALI LOVE 'Forward Motion'

10.?CANBLASTER 'Air Totem'

11.?THE RAPTURE 'How Deep Is Your Love' A-TRAK Remix

12.?THE WEEKND 'What You Need' ADAM PORT Remix

13.?AZARI&III 'Into The Night' RENAISSANCE MAN Remix

14.?NATHAN FAKE 'Xmas Rush' DUB

15.?CASSIUS 'La Notte'

16. OUTRO:?JET AGE OF TOMORROW 'I Want You Still'

MEGAUPLOAD LINK: HERE.
TSUGI LINK: THERE.

Last but not least, this mix is, quite humbly, dedicated to the people of my ancestors country, TUNISIA, for obvious reasons.

Also, shout-out to my 2011 summer crew, from Paris to Toulouse, NYC to LA, and Bali to Tokyo.

Love always,

Mehdi.
