In the history of dance music, there are very few labels that have generated as much noise as Pedro Winter’s Ed Banger Records. From global superstars Justice, to electro pop siren Uffie, and maverick audio butchers SebastiAn and Mr Oizo, there’s no denying that the Parisian imprint has redefined the sound and image of modern electronic music. As one of the most famous and iconic French Electro labels, Ed Banger Records has touched multiple generations in 20 years. Founded on a whim in 2003 by Pedro Winter, Daft Punk late manager, the story of the label is composed by many stories of impromptu meetings and everlasting friendships. From the duo Justice to Varnish La Piscine, the latest signature of the record label, Ed Banger has always prioritized music over algorithmic results. To be curious and generous have always been directions for Ed Banger Records, and if the label has stood the test of time, it is surely due to its ability to adapt to the revolutions that we have all experienced in 20 years. Animated by the loyalty of the fans through the years, the label wants to give back to its community by using this space and technology as a fanclub.
