Hed Kandi - the Mix Summer 2008

by: Various Artists

Release Date June 30, 2008
Ignore the politics of Mark Doyle, Hed Kandi, Fierce Angel, honestly ignore that. The track listing on CD1, the apparently "twisted side of dance" begins with a remix of an Adele track and then a Daniel Beddingfield song. Robin S appears somewhere on one of the other mindless cds yet again with show me love for the 345th time this year.
Nuff said, for those of you with a tenner to spend save it for a kebab, this album is beyond credible and yes, I bought it

Hed Kandi - The Mix 2008

by: Various Artists

Release Date November 19, 2007
I agree with the reviewer below in that some of HK's recent releases have been slightly dodgy and appear to be cashing in on the rise in popularity of funky house music. Die hard fans have been complaining for months about the acquisition of the brand from ailing and tyrannical parent MoS, but it seems that the producers of this album have been given a more free reign to take HK back to its roots.
I'm glad CD1 wasn't reprasentative of the whole album, with lots of fairly commercial "heard it all before" tracks, only saved by decent mixing, however CD2 and 3 are subliminal. Never have Hed Kandi been this funky, the only comparison I can think of is HK: The Mix 50, another brilliant compilation. Tracks from Dervish, Bel Amour, Doc Da Funk, ... Read More:

Hed Kandi World Series Live From San Francisco

by: Various Artists

Release Date May 05, 2008
Ignore any poor customer reviews you might read about this double CD, it is the best Hed Kandi album I have ever listened to or purchased. It is a break from the usual middle of the road tame disco house they tend to create. I like Hed Kandi but it has become boring and this album is hopefully a new direction for them. It is slightly trance and progressive but still listenable to all tastes. You just need to be open minded and you will end up loving it.

Hed Kandi Beach House

I am an incredible fan of the beach compilation, and again have HK delivered.
A great sound for the summer but there are a few re-occuring songs but hey it's still sounds great.

Fierce Disco Vol.2

by: Various Artists

Release Date March 17, 2008
I really wanted to like this straight away and after the rave reviews was dying to get hands on it..received today and the first cd is outstanding..was expecting the same quality on cd 2 and 3..CD2 quite electro , took me a few listens to get into but now quite like it, not instant hit like CD1..CD 3 very dark and twisted and if that's your thing then so be it but not mine...First cd is very reminiscent of old HK releases with uplifting vocal tracks, that's not discounting "Til You come back to me " on cd 2, however CD3 too twisted..Have not been to a Fierce Angels night and if all 3 CD's reflect that and I'm missing the point then I apologise ...quite a lot of new tracks compared to previous FA releases, however my own personal preferences are Beach ...

Hed Kandi: Twisted Disco

by: Various Artists

Release Date February 11, 2008
I've got to be the biggest Hed Kandi fan as I own nearly all of them! This one is another cracker from the record label! I find that as a DJ these albums are invaluable as all the tunes are the full 12" mixes. No radio edits going on here. A great buy!!

Serve Chilled

by: Various Artists

Release Date June 02, 2008
My mouse hovered over the fifth star for more than a minute as I tried to decide what to give this album. In the end it clicked on the 4. A five would have required Walked Out This Morning & Drive to be included on another compilation, perhaps the top 10 of worst lift tunes.
The rest though is sheer chill out heaven - a mixture of melancholy, sentimentalism, hope, excitement and anticipation delivered in true HK style.
24 tracks made it my ipod. A success rate not seen since Beach House 2006. The bar is back where it belongs. Well done HK.

Hed Kandi World Series - Ibiza: the Sound of the White Isle 2008

by: Various Artists

Release Date September 08, 2008
I have to say that hed kandi have done a great job here they really have captured the sounds of ibiza this year! Unlike ministry who seem to just use the word ibiza for some kind of commercial gain and slap anything together and sometimes its debateble if it has been mixed at all. If your'e wanting cd's that represent ibiza this year with precision mixing you'll not go wrong here an allround top mix from start to finish... Wait for the sun to shine (it will one day) grab a cold beer and get in the garden with the tunes on and you'd think you were on bora bora beach ;) Niiiiiiice!
