Episode 63: Busy P

At the heart of mixing records and mixing people, BUSY P welcomes Arman into Ed Banger in Montmarte. Born to bring the headbangers, indie romantics, hip hop kids and techno heads together, PEDRO describes the DNA of Ed Banger Records; a place where the integrity and energy of music is felt and expressed in the freshest, sexiest way.

There’s a certain magic in the air as Pedro shares his belief that “LONGEVITY is the best proof of success.” Alluding to DAFT PUNK for teaching him that “knowing what you want to do is as important as knowing what you don’t want to do,” Pedro shares ideas from their synergy working together. Hinting caution to the new youth, Pedro warns “music is not something you swipe, but something you FEEL.”

As important as mixing genres and people is, so is understanding the boundaries that lend themselves to the contrast which make them beautiful. Referencing the Beastie Boys 'Check Your Head,' Kraftwerk, Metallica and MC Solaar, Pedro’s soundtrack reflects his appetite for questioning standards, pushing boundaries, and then bringing them all together. An old soul but perpetually cool kid, BUSY P waves au revoir to get busy again and Arman steps back out onto the cobbled streets of the 18th arrondissement.
