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.

Premiers and Features

Simply City - Zero Distance (Orig) Breaking EP Hope Recordings

'Returning to Proton Music, Janko Dragovic has created a powerful narrative with his Desaturate production moniker. Reaching a notable highlight in January 2018 with his "Wanderer" EP, the Serbian artist now creates another moment of magic with "Spinal Slip". Joining forces with production partner, Goran Ferenc for the second original track on the EP, the duo's Dual Flux soubriquet provides another sonic highlight via "Ground Zero". Remixes comes from iconic Croatian and Belarusian artists Petar Dundov and Michael A.

Another familiar name to the Proton Music roster, Michael A has continued to play a central role with a half-century of credits that has witnessed an abundance of original releases that included the likes of "Symbol", "Aura Tears" and "Geometria" between 2017 and 2019. Beginning the "Fantasy" series in September 2020 with an array of original new music, "Vol. 3" is set to hit the shelves in early 2022. A clutch of remixes for the likes of Dousk, James Monro and Pole Folder adding to his portfolio, the Michael A remix of "Ground Zero" takes the driving techno character of the original and transforms it into a lilting progressive gem. Glistening with flowing new melodic phrases that shimmer across the left-right soundstage, elements from Dual Flux's original intelligently sit in the opulent surroundings of Michael's production work, while a strong beat and ticking percussion add club credentials.'

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.

PREMIERE: Ed Steele - Aimless (Original Mix) [Sprout Music]

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.

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.
