Since his entry on the scene as a producer in 2006, British born Ed Davenport has forged a name for himself as a distinct and independent voice in modern electronic music. Starting with the brooding drums and moody voices of ‘Of Light & Shade’ the album unfurls through the barely restrained rave euphoria of the title track, the beautifully re-worked melodies of ‘New Yorkshire’ and ‘More Red Lights’ as well as touching on some downbeat heartache, bold concrete funk and underlying deep techno. From the early days of his trade, which saw him release 12′s on German labels Gumption or Liebe*Detail, to his handful of appearances as ‘Szenario’ on UK buzz label Leftroom, Davenport maintained a fairly prolific output while living in London, while gaining support as a DJ. His productions found critics drawing comparisons with classic Detroit and Chicago productions, alongside a clear UK influence. A few years later and a move to Berlin, Davenport continued to grow as an in-demand DJ an remixer. Ed is well known for his busy release schedule and a hard-working production ethic that continues to raise his profile on the global electronic scene. His reputation as a DJ has also put him behind the decks in the top clubs of the German capitol, including regular gigs at Berghain/Panorama Bar. Ed’s recent RA podcast also places him amongst some of the world’s most celebrated contemporary DJs, mixing timeless house and techno, old and new. Relationships developed with labels like Vidab and the Oliver Deutschmann’s Falkplatz imprint, where he released his defining record of 2010, the lush chord-driven ‘Siebzehn’ featuring Ostgut Ton’s Elif Bicer, and also produced the mesmerising ‘Trump’ alongside Deutschmann. The duo released raw, analog and synth-led tracks on Frankfurt based Polytone, and a new machine-based project named ‘The Falkplatz Conspiracy’.
