Various 'Ed Rec 100' (Ed Banger Records)
100 releases? Well, that’s come around quickly. Anyone who’s familiar with millennial dance music will be more than acquainted with French powerhouse Ed Banger Records, and the label’s biggest names have all contributed an exclusive new track for this comp. Riton gives Paul McCartney ‘Temporary Secretary’ a whompy edit, Boys Noize turns Justice’s ‘Randy’ into a furious electro workout and label boss Busy P teams up with Mayer Hawthorne for the sunshine-glazed ‘Genie’. Sebastian makes his long-awaited return with the woozy ‘So Huge’, but our man-of-the-match award goes to Mr Oizo, who manages to out-weird and out-bang everything else on the CD. Jeremy Abbott
