Pangaea – Pangaea EP 2010
Hessle Audio have only been releasing tunes for a short time but that’s no reason for you not to stand up and take note. The imprint, run by some of todays most promising DJs and Producers (Ramadanman, Ben UFO and Pangaea), is quickly becoming one of the most important Electronic...
Four Tet – There Is Love in You
Kieran Hebden’s knack of being able to take sounds from a wide variety of musical genres is something that isn’t often seen in records today. Whilst cynicism might lead you to the belief that such a varied musical palette could only lead to scattershot and confused sounding albums, There Is...
