Edit Select

Glaswegian producer Tony Scott has long operated under multiple aliases, with Edit Select serving as the vehicle for his atmospheric yet stripped-down, back-to-basics techno aimed squarely at club floors. Earlier work appeared as Percy X and Mion before he launched both the Edit Select project and its matching imprint in 2007. Subsequent releases alongside Gary Beck and Len Faki surfaced on Figure and Ostgut Ton, while the first album under the name, Phlox, emerged in 2014. Soma, the label run by Slam, put out Cyclical Undulations two years later, after which Scott maintained primary focus on his own imprint while still occasionally issuing new Edit Select material, such as the 2024 split EP shared with ARKVS.

Scott first entered the scene in the early ’90s with various projects on the Out on a Limb imprint before achieving wider notice as Percy X through three albums and a steady stream of singles on Soma. From 2007 onward he began issuing 12"s as Edit Select on outlets including Ostgut Ton and Figure, alongside remixes crafted for Speedy J, Chris Liebing, and VCMG. Prologue issued the debut full-length Phlox in 2014, the same year an Edit Select reworking of Teste’s 1992 cut “The Wipe” appeared. Further collaborations with Dino Sabatini and Mike Parker followed, together with standalone singles on CLR, Dreiklang, and Lanthan Audio.

The deep, spacy joint album Visitors - Projections, recorded with Antonio Ruscito, arrived in 2016. Scott returned to Soma the next year via The Bridge EP, then delivered Horizon EP in 2018 before the label released the expansive full-length Cyclical Undulations. Additional EPs and singles continued, among them 2019’s The Ripple Effect on Planet Rhythm and the 2021 single “Far North” on Kontrafaktum. Across the decade Scott also compiled multiple collections drawn from the Edit Select catalog, sometimes incorporating his own tracks, and closed the period with the 2024 split EP alongside ARKVS on Planet Rhythm.
