Busy P

The man called Pedro Winter was right to name himself Busy P. Life before launching the most hyped electronic music label this year was hectic enough--with his managing the careers of Parisian dance legends Daft Punk, Cassius, and now Justice. With his cheekily named Ed Banger label of earsplitting electro-punk, Winter says he "makes noise funky"--and in that vein, he's managed to unite different flavors of hip kids across the world. And if that weren't enough, he produces his own tracks, too, which are a more mellowed, controlled take on the recently carved out genre, falling somewhere between labelmates Mr. Oizo (loud and punky) and Mr. Flash (smooth and funky).
