Album Review by Nigel A. Messenger This is a deliciously stylish summer mix featuring the likes of Solasso, Soul System, Therese, Peyton, Chanel, Who Da Funk & Stonebridge. All the fabulous tracks on the sampler have been handpicked from the 5 big Kandi summer releases; Beach House, Es Vive/Base Bar, The Mix 50, Peyton Album Review by EDF If you are new to Hed Kandi, here is a brief history. For six years, Hed Kandi, which is comprised of a select number of DJs spinning some of the best house tunes around, have been packing them in at home and abroad. They have their own late night radio Album Review by EDF This year’s MIX release from Hed Kandi is split over three Kandi genres. The first is the DISCO HEAVEN MIX which starts off with an old Kandi favourite, SOLU MUSIC’s ‘Fade’. The tracks range are groovy and funky and we are treated to 15 mixed tracks that will keep you Album Review by Nigel A. Messenger This has to be the best HED KANDI album yet and definitely right up my street. Full of cheeky, sleazy house tracks that smart and sting, this is one big ‘bitch-slap’ of an album! Imagine Hed Kandi’s trademark sound (with lots of rock’n’roll guitar licks added) being put Album Review by Nigel A. Messenger Hed Kandi kicks off the New Year with the latest from their brilliantly brooding WINTER CHILL series.

Fragile, melancholy and ever so slightly dark, this compilation reflects the underlying moodiness Single Review by EDF Mixing disco with a funk hook line, COMING THRU is the sort of track that should get your feet moving. With its hip-hop beats and scratches, this should be big in the clubs.

Fusing a range of darkwave, electronic, industrial and Nu-Goth styles into a maelstrom of beats and processed guitars, this is catchy, Single Review by Mark Bayross Championed on BBC Radio 2 and so middle of the road that she could have a white line painted vertically along her, Sheffield’s Helen Boulding has enlisted seasoned producer and – incongruously – sometime bass player of Killing Joke, Youth, to add his talents to her new single I Single Review by Mark Bayross More radio-friendly Shania-isms from the apparently universally popular Helen Boulding (evidenced by collaborations with Pink Floyd’s Rick Wright, support slots with James Blunt and Ed Harcourt, and co-writing credits with just about everyone). WHAT A FOOL goes in one ear and out the other without causing offence or much Music Review by Neil Sadler In a market crowded with female singer-songwriters, it’s difficult to find a sound of your own. Described as a mixture of folk/jazz, BE MYSELF doesn’t really have a strong enough foot in either camp to make it stand out above the K.T. Tunstall’s and Sandi Thom’s of this world. |
