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.

After a marvelous "Killing Time" artist album on D-Nox's massive Sprout and a number of other strong releases, Ed Steele debuts on Mango Alley with ALLEY192 "Over To You" - a mesmerising melodic fusion of progressive and tech sounds! First on the remix duty is EMPHI, who is quickly becoming one of MA's core artists. He brings more groove and progressive deepness to the sound of the original. Up next is a remix by Ewan Rill & K Loveski, who are well-known and recognized for their smooth and melodic style. Wrapping up the pack is Chook with his remix - chunky bass, fat beat and dirty synths make it an absolute dancefloor monster!

8bitcast  by Nick Curly

If you walked into any club worth its salt back in 2009, chances were pretty high you would encounter one of the most outrageous tracks to be released that year. Patrice Bäumel’s ‘Roar’ (on Get Physical records) was a perfect slice of techno/house/electronica madness, a track so woundly tied up that you could physically feel the anxiety rise up in your body in anticipation for what was about to happen. That release heralded a new force on the scene and can rightly be considered as Bäumel’s breakout track. Fast forward 6 years later, and the ex-Trouw resident has attained a level of maturity with his sound that few artists reach, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by major players like K7, Systematic, Diynamic, Trouw and Turbo, all of whom has released his music at some point. Part of the Kompakt stable now, Baumel has been spreading his house/techno gospel all around the world, delivering the sort of epic, yet somehow restraint sets, that will make you seek all of his online mixes afterwards. He really has been going about his business in a way that is admirable and non-fussy, describing what he does as ‘techno music for grown-ups’ – a very apt description indeed. One read of his excellent interview below really paints a picture of an artist who just LOVES music, and it really shows in the tracklisting which features a host of obscure, yet excellent selections. And we are pleased to say that his Balance podcast might just go down as a stone cold classic.

“She and they were all the same under the skin, weren’t they?”

Friends, 
We have entered a year which I believe will be quite special. I believe in symbols and numbers are the most powerful symbols. 2 and 0 together will bring transformations. Those might not be special in the way we expect, but it will be special in the way that serves the collective most. Nevertheless, we will survive this new era. Because we have something quite similar, under our skins, don't we?

I hope you enjoy this new mix full of melodic, dreamy and emotional sounds. Tracks are all released, some are all well-known, some are a bit forgotten. I will share the track list very soon. Thanks for being a part of my journey! <3

"Life isn't fair. No matter what life throws your way, no matter how unfair it may seem, refuse to play the victim. Refuse to be ruled by fear, pessimism and negativity. Refuse to quit. Be a warrior and work through whatever life throws your way with courage, le and positivity. And continually push forward. Because you are a survivor of the unfairness of life. You are stronger than you think. And you are capable of achieving far more than you believe."

Killing Time

Killing Time  [Album Continuous Mix by D-Nox]

Hello Everyone.

with this dj mix i did I wanna introduce you to the incredible music of Ed Steele. A very talented and fantastic producer from UK. He will be releasing his debut album on my label Sprout Music and I hoppe u will dig his music. Enjoy this dj mix which included all album tracks and if u feel the vibe please pre order this beautiful piece of music.

https://www.beatport.com/release/killing-time/3076442

press text:

Support from Hernan Cattaneo, Connect, Nick Warren, Blancah, Chicola, Gai Barone, Maceo Plex, Bog, Josh Stephens, Darin Epsilon, John Digweed, Quivver, AFFKT, Nicolas Masseyeff, and Jaytech

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.

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

PREMIERE: DJ Unique - Impala (D-Nox & Ed Steele Remix) [SOLARII RECORDS]

From humble beginnings on belt-driven Soundlabs in the mid-90s to commanding crowds with his signature progressive house sound, Ed Steele's journey has been deeply intertwined with the evolution of dance music, his initials are even EDMS. This UK-based DJ and producer cut his teeth in the heart of the rave explosion of the 1990s, a formative experience that ignited a lifelong passion. Transitioning from decks to production in the early 2000s, Ed honed his craft, patiently sculpting a sound that is both intricate and captivating. He was also a driving force behind 'Fresh Out The Box', a beloved club night and festival brand that thrived for years, gracing the stages of the acclaimed Gottwood Festival for a decade. A chance encounter with D-Nox at Noisily Festival in 2018 proved pivotal, leading to his debut release, 'Your Move', on Sprout in 2019. This marked the beginning of a fruitful relationship, culminating in a full album, 'Killing Time', on Sprout in 2020, various remixes and a collaborative EP, 'Embrace Me', on Einmusika in 2024. Paul Van Dyke, Nora En Pure and Miss Monique all played tracks from the Embrace Me EP. Ed & D-Nox's recent remix of 'Uniqueness' by Tali Muss and Vakalbular on Holly Stone Records has been met with widespread acclaim, reaching the top 3 in the Beatport Progressive House chart, further solidifying his position as a rising force in the progressive house scene. With a steady stream of quality releases and an unwavering commitment to his art, Ed Steele's future promises to be nothing short of electrifying. Stay tuned to see what sonic landscapes he conquers next.
