A correction, a confession, a DJ tool, a mild act of vandalism—or simply the result of listening to somebody else’s record and thinking: very good, but what if this bit went on a little longer?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor his contribution to the Running Back Mastermix series, Gilles Aiken aka Edward opens a folder that has apparently been filling up for quite some time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Giegling resident’s thirteen edits reach back through years of Djing, collecting and producing. Made for sets rather than release schedules, they form something like a musical autobiography told through other \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epeople’s records: Carl Craig, Roman Flügel, Motohiko Hamase, Kirk Degiorgio, Aubrey, Sven Väth, Michael Rother and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom Japanese ambient jazz and Detroit techno to dub techno, house, trance and kosmische music, these are not attempts to improve records that didn’t need improving. They are the small interventions that happen after living with music for a long time: a rhythm exposed, an entrance moved, a passage extended, the unnecessary made necessary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsually, such edits remain on hard drives, USB sticks and in vaguely labelled folders. This time permissions were requested, publishers located and, somewhere, presumably, a spreadsheet became very important.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMiraculously, everybody said yes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThirteen thank-you notes to the music that helped make Edward Edward. Naturally, they require three records. Mastermixed accordingly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Running Back","offers":[{"title":"3LP - Black","offer_id":58889554592075,"sku":"R5267-7673","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":58889554624843,"sku":"R5267-5943","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a2454391620_10.jpg?v=1792318745","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/running-back-mastermix-edward-edits","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
