Artist:	JUSTICE
Title:	Cross
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$26.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772110

2011 repress. Justice's highly-acclaimed debut album and the most essential party record of 2007. French-only vinyl version, in deluxe gatefold sleeve. Retreating to their underground post-nuclear shelter/studio, French duo Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay worked on their first album as if their lives depended on it. The result is a mind-fuck of an album that proves that Justice's unique talent is to be found where least expected. Take for example "Let There Be Light" and its strident, angry electro, driven by a jabbing bassline; "D.A.N.C.E," a pure piece of vicious house sung innocently by a choir of children; "Newjack," a funky parody of the opulent times of the French Touch; "Phantom," taking over where "Waters Of Nazareth" left off to drift towards "Phantom Pt. II" and its head-swirling disco violins; "Valentine," an erotic, melancholic nursery rhyme, like a tribute to Vladimir Cosma and "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy," a pure electro-funk track where the sexy Uffie plays more than ever the cheeky Lolita. Justice have thrown established rules out the window (the notion of good and bad taste, the thin line between underground and pop music, the pigeon hole labeling between rock and electro, etc.) with a fantastic talent for synthesizing and mixing their influences with total candor, be it the cosmic disco of Larry Levan or Vladimir Cosma's panty-wetting romantics, Camel's prog rock or the anxious theme of Goblin for Dario Argento, to the flashy funk of the Brothers Johnson or "ABC" by the Jackson 5. Cross isn't a collection of random dancefloor singles. Cross is for listening at home or in clubs. Cross is a link between pop at its purest and experimental music. Cross brings together hardcore elements and cheese. Cross makes the Goths link arms with the rave kids. A generational manifest, ideally positioned on the side of the dancefloor, Cross, insolent with youth, is a testimony that the French electro scene is healthier than ever.

Artist:	KRAZY BALDHEAD
Title:	Sweet Night
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	12"/PIC DISC
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772451

2009 release. Krazy Baldhead presents 4 tracks for Ed Banger. He has remixed the noisy duo dDamage, the funky duo Outlines and met the Brooklyn rapper TES, signed on Lex/Warp. TES also featured on "Crazy Moth3f2ck8z," a track from Krazy Baldhead's second EP Dry Guillotine, which confirmed Ed Banger's hip-hop turning point. Just like SebastiAn, Justice or DJ Mehdi, Krazy Baldhead has become one of the mainstays of the label.

Artist:	MR. OIZO
Title:	Pourriture
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772461

2009 release. Mr. Oizo is back again with a second EP taken from his Lamb's Anger album. Instead of asking remixers ''à la mode'," Mr. Oizo is proposing some radical, self-reworked versions of "Lars Von Sen," "Pourriture" and "Steroids" (featuring Uffie). Some Irish dude sent the label a remix of "Erreur Jean" and you can bet that Arveene & Misk will make some more noise soon. Finally, Mr. Oizo gives you an extract from "Con Tact" -- from a short movie project.

Artist:	BAMBINO, KAP
Title:	Dead Lazers
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772495

Dead Lazers is the second single to be taken from Kap Bambino's third album Blacklist. It's another slice of deranged noise-pop from the Bordeaux duo Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier -- all maddening melodies and propulsive head-nod rhythms. This latest offering from the analog punk pairing finds frontwoman Caroline's vocals at their most jagged, insolently attacking the sensory system, backed up by a blitzkrieg of synths and drumbeats.

Artist:	KRAZY BALDHEAD
Title:	The B-Suite
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$26.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772499

2LP version. This is the debut full-length release by France's Krazy Baldhead. The B-Suite is comprised of four movements and 49 minutes of music. With vocal appearances by Tes, Outlines, Big O & Mlle Yulia, and Beat Assaillant, more than ever, Krazy Baldhead proves that Ed Banger isn't only a label embodying a certain sound, but well and truly the label of an era. Is this an electro album? A hip-hop album? It's up to you to decide for yourself. His influences range from the Chemical Brothers to Bill Evans, from A Tribe Called Quest to Joy Division, from Gong to Miles Davis, and even Prefuse 73. There is some blues in his music, but above all, there is that liberty that could only come from a 10-year background in jazz. Krazy Baldhead is not a DJ, he plays live -- with electro/jazz/hip-hop influences as shouting, stomping and scattershot as the mood on this record. Exhilarating.

Artist:	BAMBINO, KAP
Title:	Blacklist
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	LP
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	BEC 5772501

2009 release. Kap Bambino's third album, Blacklist makes some bold and brave moves. Perhaps the biggest curveball they could have thrown would be to go pop, which is just what they've done -- well, kind of. Blacklist is 12 tracks of deranged, maddening melodies and propulsive head-nod rhythms, taking the group's trademark concoctions and placing them amidst a setting that wouldn't look out of place in a stadium or headlining a festival. Caroline's vocals are brought center-stage and never have they sounded so clear, crisp and defiant, while Orion's production alchemy sounds like the work of a regal orchestra of androids, soundtracking an Armageddon-inducing war. Unlike most assaults of lawless rock'n'roll ideals, Kap Bambino's sound is not powered by guitars, or rather any live instruments whatsoever. The empowering eruption of frenzied discordance, space invader sucker-punch beats and caterwauling incantations conjured by the Bordeaux duo, Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier, is the result of harnessing the unruly spirit of bands like Suicide and Nirvana, then feeding it through a tangled web of samplers, synthesizers and software modules. The result is a more immediate, more kinetic and more inspiring show than you witnessed from any of the baggy-shorted buffoons 2009 tried to throw up as punk-rockers. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Artist:	DSL
Title:	Stupid Bitches
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	12"/PIC DISC
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772549

2009 release. DSL present their second 12'' for Ed Banger Records, Stupid Bitches, which defines their sound better than ever and affirms their personality among the Ed Banger roster. The title track doesn't sound like a love song, but it's DSL's way of saying "I love you" to the ladies. A pure zoukadisco tune. Remixes are provided by DatA for the perfect sunset soundtrack and Rynecologist with a more booming version. "J'm'en Bats Les Couilles" could be a #1 hip-hop hit.

Artist:	UFFIE
Title:	A.D.D. S.U.V.
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772678

2010 release. Uffie returns to the club scene with a banging electro-crunk monster accompanied by Pharrell. If the dream team of Madonna-collaborator Mirwais, rap-icon Pharrell and Parisian scene-makers Ed Banger wasn't enough, legendary house-giant Armand Van Helden took the track on a journey back to his roots. Hudson Mohawke also drops some synthetic bleeps into a 2-step garage rhythm, transforming the track into a thoroughly enjoyable and mind-bending trip through the electronic jungle.

Artist:	UFFIE
Title:	Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$26.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772689

2010 release. Uffie's highly-anticipated 2010 debut album. Seldom before has a young artist so captivated the attention of a generation that she personifies. "The ultimate it girl," "the new electro-pop sensation," "totally in tune with the spirit of the times": these are just a few quotes from her reviewers. The delayed Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans is finally complete. After years of partying and having fun, the artist said she wanted to show a different, darker side of herself. And although her ego trips and her club-hitting tracks are still there, perfectly-tailored and inextricably linked to her universe, her more introspective ones are the most striking. Her new single "ADD SUV," recorded with Pharrell Williams, demonstrates exactly that. Uffie and the famous rapper poke fun at American culture and its obsession with ostentatious signs of wealth. Denouncing the vacuous lives of rich suburban "desperate housewives" who drive oversized SUVs, pop pills like sweets, sip cocktails in their private clubs and accumulate neuroses like a collection of handbags, they made an acrid and descriptive track that is the stuff of classics. Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans is full of classic tracks. The essential and always powerful productions come from her eternal accomplice DJ Feadz, and other talented old friends such as Mr. Oizo, SebastiAn and Mirwais. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Artist:	SEBASTIAN
Title:	Total
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	2LP+CD
Price:	$26.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772823

Deluxe gatefold double LP version with a free CD of the entire album. SebastiAn has followed such an impressive path, that it's hard to believe that he's only now releasing his long-awaited debut album. But the facts are clear: here it is, after several EPs (H.A.L, Smoking Kills, Ross Ross Ross, Motor), a record compiling his many remixes for Daft Punk, Kelis and The Kills among others and a co-production of the soundtrack for the film Steak with Sebastien Tellier and Mr. Oizo, in which he also played one of the leading roles. Ever-elusive, he unveiled yet another side of his creativity in composing a philharmonic score for Notre Jour Viendra, Romain Gavras' first film. One of the creators, along with Justice, of the Ed Banger sound, he is without a doubt the label's most unusual figure. An iconoclast maverick, he readily defies the rules to deliver a dirty and violent kind of techno that coughs and spits; music to his image: human and visceral. Super prolific and constantly effervescent, this musician has managed, in the space of a few years, to redefine electronic music and is ready to astound everyone once again with Total, a definitive and meteoric first album. Featuring contributions from M.I.A and Mayer Hawthorne.

Artist:	DJ MEHDI
Title:	Lucky Boy
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	LP
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	BEC 6143676

2007 release. Born, raised and based in Paris, DJ Mehdi has been producing major French hip-hop artists since 1995 while making great noise (and platinum albums) with his bands Ideal J and 113, remixing various electronic acts and composing soundtracks for many French and international films. His resumé mentions collabos with the largest scope, from MC Solaar to Daft Punk. Signed to Pedro Winter's Ed Banger Records, he released his first full-length LP in 2002 (The Story of Espion Virgin). Lucky Boy's single, "I Am Somebody," features vocals from Canada's finest, Chromeo. Housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.

Artist:	MICKEY MOONLIGHT
Title:	And The Time Axis Manipulation Corporation
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5161036

This is the debut album from UK producer/remixer Mickey Moonlight. Full of discrete and subtle details, this LP is definitely aimed for home-listening and not for the club (even though "Close To Everything" has already received massive DJ support). Although MM has assembled a large and stellar cast of musicians, the album still remains his singular and unique vision. He describes it as "Science-Fiction Exotica." There are tales of biotech companies, artificial lovers, voluntary euthanasia, cosmic ambivalence, Discordian folk songs, time-travel field recordings and psychedelic pattern-music. The full cast of characters on this album includes: George Lewis Jr. (Twin Shadow), Marina Gasloina (ex-Bonde De Role), Susumu Mukai (Zongamin), Tim Sparke, Suzy Silver, Sandro Perri, Bishi, Lou Hayter (The New Sins & New Young Pony Club), Tahita Bulmer (New Young Pony Club), Anita Blay (TheCocknBullKid), Deborah Howell, Fimber Bravo (20th Century Steel Band), The Fullfat Horns (Jake Painter, Carl Sterling and Robin Harris), Sonny Akpan (The Funkies). All scenes directed by Mickey Moonlight. Both thirty years in the future and thirty years in the past.

Title:	Rubber
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772735

Ed Banger Records presents the soundtrack to Quentin Dupieux's third film, Rubber. Dupieux is not only one of the most unconventional French directors of his generation, he also creates undeniably fierce French house under his music alias Mr. Oizo. This short film (which chronicles the journey of a murderous, roving car tire) debuted at Cannes Film Festival in 2010. This soundtrack was created by Mr. Oizo and Gaspard Augé (one-half of Justice). Seriously brain-rattling, synth-driven, banging French house on a terrifying mission to destroy.

Artist:	BUSY P & DJ MEHDI
Title:	Let The Children Techno
Label:	ED BANGER RECORDS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	BEC 5772801

Ed Banger presents a special mix collaboration between label-head Busy P and French hip-hop and electro producer DJ Mehdi.
