Ed Banger Hits London

Posted through a bulletin by Ed Banger Records on myspace, at 3 in the AM, it has just been announced: Part of the Ed B crew is hitting London.

Busy P, Feadz, and DJ Mehdi are due to make a performance hosted by Vice Records. All you Brits are too damn lucky.

You know what? I haven't given props to Mehdi yet. One of his most famous tracks featuring his lovely wife, the cartoon artist, Fafi. It's called "Lucky Girl." You can find it on the Ed Rec, Vol. 2 or get the Lucky Boy - EP. It's great! With a simply fabulous remix by Kavinsky offspring, Surkin.

Here's a good track from the man.

Coachella 2009: Busy P & DJ Mehdi

Yesterday the owner himself, Busy P , played the desert music festival Coachella alongside label mate DJ Mehdi.

In case ya'll don't know:

Coachella is one of the biggest music festivals in the U.S. and it is held in Coachella Valley, California, (which is in the United States just to clarify).
Anywho, this is a report of what happened during Busy P's set.

The crowd was hungover and worn out from the previous dazzling performances, as well as the triple digit temperatures when the two took the stage. For the last day of Coachella, I would expect this. They used all sorts of sounds, including hip hop and electro. At the beginning, nearly half of the crowd was sitting, but by the end 4/5 of the crowd was up and dancing.

The DJs closed the set with a surprise oldies banger, the Beastie Boys' "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)."

Here's a little closer track. One of my faves from Mr. P.

"To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix)" - Busy P ft. Murs. Crookers is just amazing. Those damn Italians are amazing.
