Good morning! The current time is 6 in Paris, 1 AM in Tokyo, 4 AM in Sidney,
9 AM in L.A., 11 in Mexico City, 12 in New-York, 
5 PM in London, 6 PM and Berlin and 6 as well in Paris.
Welcome aboard the Ed Wreck, the Ed Banger Radio Show,
live and direct from the Red Bull Studios, Paris.
We're really proud to be here and honored to christen it,
and to squat the airwaves!
We're live on air, online, broadcast all over the world,
and that's new and that's freedom.
On paper, 4 hours seems a short time,
it's the time of a roundtrip on the Eurostar.
But 4 hours on a Eurostar is actually quite a long time
if you spend them chatting with your friends, listening to records and joke around.
We can let a 8 minute track roll until the end or cut it in the middle.
Or we can play noisy stuff.
There's no limitation or format, really,
and that's the kind of freedom that really turns me on and that makes me want to do more.
For the opening day, I invited Mr. Flash and Justice
as they're the most representative artists on the label.
Flash is super important 
as he's the reason why I created the label.
As for Justice, they're the label's driving force
and they're the second band I signed.
They really helped the label becoming a hit sensation. 
In 2013, we celebrate both the 10 year anniversary of the label, 
and the 10 year anniversary of Justice.
Sebastian and Cassius, then Feadz and Laurent Garnier,
and to end, Breakbot and Boston Bun,
and the Boiler Room grand final with everyone.
What does that mean?
It means this guy wanted to kill his telephone when he heard that Sebastian was getting here.
I told him I was a Mexican.
So you were a Mexican in another life?
Oh no, in this one.
He actually has a lot of mexicans working for him.
I smoke electronic cigarettes because I'm being forced to.
It's really a horrible experience, smoking on these things.
I feel like I'm sucking on a battery.
That's got to be the best advertisement for electronic cigarettes ever.
We're buddies, so we joke around in real life.
And radio is real life too.
I really want people to feel the friendliness and the closeness.
The wall between us and the listeners is real… 
But in the end,
the virtual proximity enabled by Twitter and Instagram
really helps cross over this ditch between us.
So we're having fun like we're having fun in real life, 
we tease each others,  we make fun of each others.
And that's the way it goes, and it helps us take a step back from ourselves.
We're here for the "émission de radio de Pedro l'Hiver" as you French people say.
"La Ed Wreck Radio".
Pedro is really smooth on the mic.
The problem is, it's really hard to see his eyes because of his hair.
You can't really get him.
But he's smooth. You can see that he prepped really hard.
Really professional.
- Mr Oizo's music was all right too.
- Yeah, it was all right.
As we like to listen to music among friends and talk about  it in real life,  
it's really nice to do it on the radio too.
I'm happy to be here for Pedro and it's cool because it's relaxed.
It's comfy and relaxed.
Really relaxed.
Today was informal, Boys Noize came and we played together, 
I wouldn't have minded playing 3 more hours.
Sebastian was super articulate.
It's really surprising for people who know him in really life, but the mic makes him eloquent.
How did it happen? How did you meet?
We've known each other for a long time.
Of course.
But no one expected you on Ed Banger!
That's one of the reasons why we did it.
What we like to do - and I think Pedro will agree...
- Sure I do.
We like to surprise people. And for quite a while we had thought of doing something together.
It happened in a very organic way.
It's not my habit of going shopping when I have a track I want to release.
I don't go and see labels and wait for the best offer.
I've never done that.
I finished a track, I made a small video,
the first person who came to me and who seemed enthusiastic was this guy.
Pedro!
I told him, "So you like it?"
He said: "I love it. I wouldn't mind releasing it".
I told him: "Go ahead".
I've been fascinated by radio for quite a long time.
I just love to go visit radio stations for interviews and such.
For instance, I have fantasies about La Maison de la radio.
It's like a cathedral to me.
It feels great to enter this labyrinth.
Because I'm an ambitious guy, I figured I could make my own Maison de la radio in my basement.
Anyone can do it today.
All I need is a high speed connection, some records, a computer...
What could stop me?
That's the idea behind this experiment in the Red Bull Studios:
see if we can reach people, gather an audience.
And when I say audience I don't mean that figures are important.
But if we can manage to reach a few hundreds or thousands of people, that's cool.
Ed Wreck is officially my 2014 main project.
