Nu-French Touch label Ed Banger had a hell of a 2006, with Mr. Flash, Justice, and Uffie coming on full-force in Europe and the U.S. Vice Recordings has capitalized on the label’s growing Stateside popularity by issuing the download-only Ed Rec Vol. 1, and there’s no better an introduction to the bass-heavy catalog than this set. Banner tracks like Uffie’s icy, vocoder-smart “Pop the Glock” and Justice’s crunchy “Waters of Nazareth” come standard, but for a bit more electro-infused fun, try the DJ Mehdi-Chromeo collabo “I Am Somebody” or Krazy Baldhead’s chopped-and-screwed grime take “Crazy Mothafuckers.
