Delroy Edwards

Los Angeles native Delroy Edwards produces gritty, lo-fi house tracks in addition to trippy, abstract mixtapes, primarily on his own L.A. Club Resource label. An enthusiast of regional dance and hip-hop styles from cities such as New Orleans and Chicago, he also co-runs Gene's Liquor, which distributes obscure rap tapes and house 12"s in addition to releases from his own label. Edwards grew up absorbing everything from post-punk and industrial to funk and R&B. He moved to New York City in 2010 and worked at A1 Records along with Ron Morelli, who founded the L.I.E.S. (Long Island Electrical Systems) label. Edwards' dance tracks fit in perfectly with the label's outsider house aesthetic, and his debut 12", 4 Club Use Only, appeared in 2012. The record was well received, and contributed to the quickly escalating buzz surrounding the label. Edwards continued releasing 12"s on the label, but he moved back to his home city and started L.A. Club Resource in 2013. He also collaborated with FunkinEven on a 12" released by Apron Records.
