A catalyst for the creation of Ed Steele’s recent productions has been the Noisily Festival in Leicestershire, UK. Following a headline slot by D-Nox at the festival in 2018, Steele sent his latest production, “Your Move” to the Sprout Music boss and a partnership was forged. The track landed on the label’s Passion, Vol. 2 compilation in late 2019 and less than a year later Steele returns to Sprout with his Killing Time debut album. 

Like so many music festivals, Noisily was hit hard due to the Covid-19 epidemic and was forced to cancel its 2020 events. As a means to raise funds for the 2021 edition, Noisily set up a crowd funding page and offered a DJ set at the event for a £300 donation. As a birthday present, Steele’s friends chipped in and bought him the slot at Noisily’s 2021 festivities. That inspiration essentially kicked the Killing Time album into gear as Steele explains, “Every time I sat down to make a track, I had the idea of DJing on the Noisily stage in my mind.”

Like so many musicians- and artists in general- creative time for Steele had been limited to the off hours while holding down a job and raising a family. However, with the lockdown in effect everything changed.  He says “Music time is usually late nights and early mornings, but with no work I was able to make music 12 hours a day, a few days a week, for a few months. This opportunity… allowed me to really delve deeper into making music and briefly it felt like my day job, which was a magical feeling. The name Killing Time is in fact totally ironic since I haven’t had time to kill for years.”

With inspiration coming from the likes of John Monkman and Kasper Koman, the Killing Time material came together over a fruitful three month period which also saw the creation of collaborative remix with Serge Lander arriving on the Balkan Connection label at the end of the month. With Steele’s work picking back up again, that window of uninterrupted creative expression may be closing. As the title of his haunting “Savour the Moment” production is a reflection of that time, it also serves as a reminder to appreciate the present since “Too soon after achieving a goal we tend to create new ones.”         

Ed Steele- “Savour the Moment” is out this Friday as part of his Killing Time album for Sprout Music. Listen to the track in full in the below visualizer.

Ed Steele delivers an album called 'Killing Time' on D-Nox's consistently superb Sprout imprint.

We are treated here to 4 of the tracks from this album, as a bit of a tease for your DJ sets (remember those?) and reviewing pleasure, for a very lucky few of you.

Ed, originally from Oxford in England, but recently moved to Devon, returns to Sprout, fully armed with a virtual mountain of goodness, so let's start with the music, and we kick off with the very dramatic 'Double Take'. A haunting affair, full of drive and a moody layered soundscape, dark and mysterious, until the break lands where little glimpses of light poke through, before slamming back in to some peak time melodic techno action.

We head a little deeper with 'Savour The Moment', but again are treated to some haunting elements, as this intense monster unfurls its magic, full of drive and some melancholic melodics.

'Killing Time' is a sci-fi inspired bleepy melodic winner, with hints to yesteryear, yet sounding fresh and cutting edge. Big and bold!

Rounding off this sampler, we have 'Aimless. This subtle gem treats us to wonderful key changes, where darkness meets light, as an air of sophistication lingers in the air. A sold dance floor winner.

106 The Journey

DJ Unique debuts for Solarii with the Seashell EP. Remix support comes from Rauschhaus and D-Nox & Ed Steele. Breaking back in 2016, DJ Unique has built a solid career over the last 4 years. A capable producer with a wide musical spectrum, DJ Unique is dropping his first EP "Seashell. 'Seashell' leaps from the speakers from the first bar. Emotive and energetic, its Afro roots locked in with more progressive tribal rhythms. Melodics throughout lift the track away from the linear adding melancholy feels, toughening up in the second half. On remix duties, German House king, Rauschhaus, add his Teutonic charms stripping back the tribal percussions and focusing on the emotive elements to great effect. 'Impala' on the flipside sees DJ Unique explore his deeper house tendencies. Delicate keys and pads as a rubbery bassline carries the main weight. Chunky and chuggy, this is a perfect mid-set cooler full of strong sound design ideas and warm vibes. D-Nox and Ed Steele take their remix in that direction, smoothing out the groove and introducing a devilish Reese bass.

Cover: Dmitriy Fadeev
