KRAZY BALDHEAD, “Ed Bangers best kept treasure", introduces his second album The Noise in the Sky. KRAZY BALDHEAD is one of the Ed Rec crew’s accomplished musicians: he spent ten years at the Conservatory practicing electronic instruments, but also the piano, guitar, bass and percussion. This is an artist who didn’t hesitate to go off to India to practice the tabla and infuse himself with their hypnotic rhythms for four months. His musical influences are also very wide in spectrum: Joy Division and Gong, Bartok and Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix and Squarepusher. With his first salary as an engineer KRAZY BALDHEAD bought his first machines and started exploring new sounds. While Fatboy Slim and Warp were doing their thing, he left the hi-tech world to concentrate only on the music. In 2004 he sent a demo to Pedro Winter, then manager for Daft Punk, who had just created his label Ed Banger. The abstract and heavy beats of his ‘Bill’s Break’ became the label’s fourth release. He also did a number of remixes for his friends dDamage, Aufgang, Plugs, Outlines and Pitchben. Humble and discreet, sometimes swimming against the fashionable currents, his ‘musical family’ is nevertheless very determined and atypical on the dynamic French electro scene. His debut album The B-Suite was released in 2009, in an ambitious format : an ‘electronic symphony’ in four movements with electronic sounds built over a classical structure. The album was unanimously praised and confirmed Krazy as a special planet in the Ed Rec galaxy. Depending on his mood, his music can be somber and melancholy or experimental, and with no warning slide into a warm almost poppy funk. His comps can be either built on a classical or jazz base, with funky synths and organic electro sounds, mostly with powerful bass lines inspired by British bass-music. For his second album The Noise in the Sky, KRAZY BALDHEAD delved into his 70s influences: while on tour for The B-Suite, he traveled by day listening to 70s.
