About Busy P


French electro DJ/producer Pedro Winter (aka Busy P) is the owner of Ed Banger Records as well as the manager of Daft Punk and a few other electronic dance acts from France. Born Pierre Winter in 1975 in Paris, he became interested in electronic dance music around 1992 and not long thereafter began spinning at clubs and planning parties. As he became increasingly involved with the underground electronic dance music community in Paris, Winter became acquainted with many of the scene's key participants, including David Guetta, DJ Cam, Dimitri from Paris, and Daft Punk. The latter he met in 1996, when he was a law student; the soon-to-be-famous duo asked him to be their manager and he obliged. In the wake of Daft Punk's world-wide success, Winter founded the management company Headbangers Entertainment in 2002 and assumed management duties for other French electronic dance acts such as Cassius, DJ Mehdi, Cosmo Vitelli, and Thomas Winter et Bogue. In 2003 he founded Ed Banger Records, which released music by up-and-coming French electro artists such as Justice, Mr. Flash, Vicarious Bliss, Krazy Baldhead, SebastiAn, Uffie, DJ Mehdi, and others. Shortly after founding Ed Banger Records, Winter began producing tracks of his own under the Busy P moniker, beginning in 2004 with the Limit Ed 12" single featuring the tracks "Colette C'est Chouette" and "Bearbrickdance," and began employing his remixing ability as well. However, despite some occasional releases on Arcade Mode (e.g., "Chop Suey," 2005), his production work was sporadic; for instance, he didn't get around to releasing another Busy P 12" on Ed Banger until Rainbow Man in 2007. He remained busy, though, especially after the breakthrough success of Justice -- and, by association, the Ed Banger brand -- in 2007 with "D.A.N.C.E." ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
