Edward - Running Back Mastermix: Edward - Edits (3LP)

What is an edit? A correction, a confession, a DJ tool, a mild act of vandalism—or
simply the result of listening to somebody else’s record and thinking: very good, but
what if this bit went on a little longer?

For his contribution to the Running Back Mastermix series, Gilles Aiken aka Edward
opens a folder that has apparently been filling up for quite some time.

The Giegling resident’s thirteen edits reach back through years of DJing, collecting and producing. Made for sets rather than release schedules, they form something like a musical autobiography told through other people’s records: Carl Craig, Roman Flügel, Motohiko Hamase, Kirk Degiorgio, Aubrey, Sven Väth, Michael Rother and more.

From Japanese ambient jazz and Detroit techno to dub techno, house, trance and kosmische music, these are not attempts to improve records that didn’t need improving. They are the small interventions that happen after living with music for a long time: a rhythm exposed, an entrance moved, a passage extended, the
unnecessary made necessary.

“These records mean a lot to me,” says Edward.
“They consist of edits I’ve gathered over the years, some of them going way back. In a way, they reflect my musical journey. All of these artists have been a huge influence on me as a producer and DJ.”

Usually, such edits remain on hard drives, USB sticks and in vaguely labelled folders. This time permissions were requested, publishers located and, somewhere, presumably, a spreadsheet became very important.

Miraculously, everybody said yes.Thirteen thank-you notes to the music that helped make Edward Edward. Naturally, they require three records. Mastermixed accordingly.
