Monday saw the digital release of Hessle Audio’s various compilation ’116 & Rising’ the title being a reference to the varying BPMs spanning the album. The label is run by Ramadanman, Ben UFO and Pangaea and is one of the most forward thinking around. What they’ve put out since they started a mere three years ago has been near flawless, a statement which is more than backed up by both the (Exclusives) disc and the (Back Catalog) disc.
To celebrate i’ve mixed some of the standout tracks…
Peverelist – Sun Dance
Pearson Sound – Stifle
Addison Groove – Fuk Tha 101
James Blake – Give a Man a Rod (Second Version)
Blawan – Potchla Vee
Ramadanman – Don’t Change for Me
Joe – Rut
Randomer – Bunk
TRG – Broken Heart (Martyn’s DCM Remix)
James Blake – Buzzard & Kestrel
Joe – Level Crossing
Pangaea – Why
Untold – I Can’t Stop this Feeling
Blawan – Fram
TRG – Put You Down
D1 – Subzero
But if you can’t be bothered with listening to that, do yourself a solid and buy both here and here.
Huxley – Fact Mix 323
I’ll shy away from clichés such as ‘man of the moment’ when speaking about Huxley. He’s been building his career for a long time now and cliché phrases like this are left for the hyped up artists who lack substance. With that in mind, Huxley delivers a fine mix of house with a dash of 2 step garage.
