Though the first volume of Ed Banger's Ed Rec series of compilations was just released digitally, the French label is already moving forward with plans for a physical release of Ed Rec Vol. 2.

Unlike Vol. 1, which was retrospective, Vol. 2 will feature 14 new and exclusive tracks, except for Justice's "Phantom" and Mr. Flash's "Disco Dynamite". Ed Banger will release Vol. 2 with Because Music in Europe on March 12 in both CD and double LP formats. Vice will release it digitally on March 6 and physically on April 10 in the U.S., with a currently untitled bonus track by label boss Busy P tacked on. The package also comes with a page of original stickers from the label.

Ed Banger artists Justice, DJ Mehdi, Sebastian, and Busy P will tour North America together in March, after which Justice have a couple dates of their own. Parties in Chicago, Brussels, and Paris will precede the tour.

The compilation isn't the only upcoming Ed Banger release. The label also plans to release 12"s from Mr. Oizo ("Patrick 122"), Busy P ("Rainbow Man", February 26), DJ Mehdi ("Lucky Boy" EP, March 19), and Justice ("D.A.N.C.E", also on CD single April 16). A Justice album is in the works for June.
