Edit Select

Focusing on atmospheric yet stripped-down, back-to-basics techno tracks for club use, Edit Select is one of several monikers of Glaswegian producer Tony Scott. Previously known under names such as Percy X and Mion, he established the Edit Select project, as well as its eponymous label, in 2007. Records with producers like Gary Beck and Len Faki followed on labels such as Figure and Ostgut Ton, and debut album Phlox arrived in 2014. Slam's Soma label issued Cyclical Undulations in 2018, and Scott continued to focus on his label, occasionally issuing Edit Select recordings like a 2024 split EP with ARKVS. Active since the early '90s, Tony Scott released music under several projects on the Out on a Limb label, and gained greater recognition as Percy X, with three albums and numerous singles on Soma. He began releasing music as Edit Select in 2007, also launching an imprint of the same name. Several 12"s appeared, including releases on labels like Ostgut Ton and Figure, as well as remixes for the likes of Speedy J, Chris Liebing, and VCMG. Edit Select's debut full-length, Phlox, appeared on the German label Prologue in 2014. During the same year, the artist released an edit of Teste's classic 1992 track "The Wipe." Collaborations with Dino Sabatini and Mike Parker followed, as well as singles on CLR, Dreiklang, and Lanthan Audio. In 2016, Edit Select and Antonio Ruscito released the deep, spacy collaborative LP Visitors - Projections. The following year, Edit Select's The Bridge EP was released by Soma, marking Scott's return to the label. Shortly following 2018's Horizon EP, the label released the expansive, accomplished full-length Cyclical Undulations. Several Edit Select EPs and singles followed, including 2019's The Ripple Effect (Planet Rhythm) and 2021's "Far North" (Kontrafaktum). Throughout the decade, Scott issued numerous compilations of tracks from the Edit Select label, sometimes including his own material. He also issued a split EP with ARKVS on Planet Rhythm in 2024. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
