The Mix 2008
Release Date » 19/11/2007

Always looking forward and still combining the keen edge of cool with an accessible, inclusive musical ethos, Hed Kandi rounds up another phenomenal year with all the must-have tunes of the season and invites everyone to join the party. Three CDs mixed within the three most treasured styles of Kandi – Disco Kandi, Twisted Disco and Disco Heaven - with every track tried and tested on Hed Kandi’s many dancefloors across the globe. This is Hed Kandi just the way the Hed Kandi faithful like and rely upon it!

CD1, Disco Kandi, dishes up some true dancefloor bombs like Axwell’s huge piano-monster It’s True, the chart and genre-busting accordion-meets-minimal-techno that is Samim’s Heater, plus the current hot potato from Dave Armstrong featuring H.Boogie, Love Is Gone. Kandi’s own Booty Luv are here too with their self-penned endorphin homage, Some Kind Of Rush, set for release in December.

Big hitters continue on a slightly darker tip on CD2, Twisted Disco, the no.2 smash Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand’s Let Me Think About It exemplifies the mood, Mobin Master’s Show Me Love which had everyone clambering for the white label version when it first hit clubland features too, and there’s David Guetta’s return to pop life with Love is Gone.

CD3 Disco Heaven transcends all that has gone before with a purifying sweep of heavenly vocals, strings, pianos and disco-fabulous grooves. Todd Terry Allstars bring some Strictly Rhythm slickness with Get Down, Soul Providers provide the Kandi turntable classic Rise and there’s Belezamusica’s brilliant reworking of Odyssey’s Inside Out. Two prodigal Kandi sons return on this release too – vocalist Peyton is back with 2 new bombs: him vs Audiowhores with an update of Kiki Dee’s Music In Me and Never Give Up with Rhythm Republic, then there’s producer/legend StoneBridge, the man responsible for HK’s first-ever top ten hit featured here with his latest offering You Don’t Know with Hott22 cranking up the heat on the remix.

The hoards of Hed Kandi faithful await these mix albums with the same excitement as HK clubnights, while the uninitiated can be confident of the name when it comes to making those Xmas present decisions. With a full-force series of festive-season events themed round this album and the accompanying TV campaign in the UK, this release is set to fly. Mixed to perfection, The Mix 2008 is another quality addition to the HK catalogue, irresistibly infectious and the most stylish way to usher out the old year and welcome in the new.
