[News] James Murphy and Busy P Team Up for Levi's Store in Paris

In his post-LCD Soundsystem lifestyle, James Murphy has had no trouble finding projects to keep himself busy. His latest venture sees him teaming up with Ed Banger Records head honcho Busy P, aka Pedro Winter, for a collaborative celebration of the opening of a new Levi's store in the famed Champs Élysées district in Paris. The pair also designed custom, limited edition t-shirts and jackets to be sold at the store in its opening months, along with handpicked collections of albums that will serve as the soundtrack for the store. Next month, street artists Shepard Fairey and Mr. André will partake in a similar collaboration, which, like Busy P and Murphy, will showcase the union of American and French art and culture.

Above, you can watch the trailer for the project, and after the jump take a look at the full lists of Murphy and Busy P's curated selections for the Levi's store soundtrack.

Dear friends,

4 more months before we say good bye to 2011.I am pleased to announce you some of the music we will release on Ed Banger records in the next few weeks.First, let me go back to what we’ve done so far this year…

Yes we slow down the tempo (again) with releases from CASSIUS and SEBASTIAN. We also kept it disco with BREAKBOT, even stadium disco with JUSTICE. And for those who don’t know, we partied like it’s 1995 with CARTE BLANCHE. What else ? We offered you SEBASTIAN’s frst album “TOTAL”, my very first mixed compilation with my best friend DJ MEHDI “Let the children techno” and I hope some party you’ll remember.


Let’s talk about the future now. We’re about to released an heavyweight 12″ from MICKEY MOONLIGHT just before sharing his first album this fall. “Close to everything” deserved the best, Trevor Jackson offered us a PLAYGROUP remix soon to be classic… Our friends from SF, THE MARTIN BROTHERS went breakdancing with Axel Foley and delivered one of their best remix ever! Mickey Moonlight is on fire, he just remixed JUSTICE new single “Audio, Video, Disco”

Talking about JUSTICE, Yes yes the boys are back in town. Their new album “Audio, Video, Disco” is scheduled for end of October 2011. We’ll release the new single “Audio, Video, Disco” with remixes from Marble’s superstar PARA ONE and label partner MICKEY MOONLIGHT, One for the club one for the pub.
The DSL borthers are also ready to unleash their first album for Ed Rec, watch the “Supalove” video and put your dance shoes on!

So you think we’re not banging anymore ? eat this! MR OIZO “Douche Beat” the first single from “STADE 2″ his new album should be on your stereo very soon! After SKREAM and NERO, Ed Rec journey into UK bass continues, L.A beat blaster SKRILLEX just remixed SEBASTIAN “Love in Motion” and the result is dangerous… have a listen after the jump.

No it’s not finish yet! One of the oldest Ed Rec artist is back with a new single KRAZY BALDHEAD “Surabaya girl” will be perfect for to start 2012 Planet Mu’s TROPICS & Club Cheval’s MYD on the remixes, Ed Banger killing you soflty

That’s all folks (for now) 2012 here we come!

P.

[Listen] MGMT - "Siberian Breaks" (Ed Banger All Stars remix)

MGMT have released a new remix from their amazing 2010 album, Congratulations, for their song "Siberian Breaks". The track was remixed by the Ed Banger All Stars which consist of Busy P, So Me and Breakbot can be purchased at official.fm. The 10 minute long track breaks off into 3 parts which begin with a nice ambient and folky vibe, then switches into a nice disco dance vibe and closes with an electronic fury (which I feel doesn't really fit at all, but thats my opinion). Check out the below and then if you dig it, you can grab it at the link above or by clicking the $ button on the player below.
