ED BANGER RECORDS w/ BUSY P in The Lab LA
Ed Banger Records' Busy P in The Lab LA is the kind of set where you half-expect a surprise appearance by a robot in a leather jacket, and we're all for it. This isn't minimal anything—it's a neon-drenched trip through French electro, nu-disco, and straight-up party music, perfect for when you want to dance but also feel vaguely intellectual about it. The vibe is all flashing lights and knowing smirks, a room full of people who remember when 'Ed Banger' was a secret handshake.
Technically, it's a mid-range heavy affair, averaging 119 BPM and frequently locking into the 3B key for that signature funky bounce. The energy arc is built on driving basslines and disco samples, with Busy P's mixing style leaning into long blends and playful cuts that keep the groove relentless. Standout tracks include Feadz's 'Population Shift' for its glitchy, futuristic edge, and Busy P's own 'Genie' with Mayer Hawthorne for a dose of smooth vocals.
Tiger & Woods' 'Gin Nation' is a deep cut for the disco purists, while the Kraftwerk 'Trans Europe Express' nod is a welcome, if obvious, tip of the hat. The journey starts with an unknown banger, weaves through electro-funk and retro gems, and closes on the smooth absurdity of Thundercat's 'Show You the Way', because why not end a party with Kenny Loggins?.
