Hed Kandi

I would imagine this is probably in the tastes of very few people here but anyway.

I just got 2 new hed kandi albums the main one being 'The mix Summer 2004' its music style for those that dont know is House and for people that art to sure of what that is. Well house is basicly the combination of beats with tradition jazz/soul vocals and instrumental work.

the other one I got was BASE Ibiza 2004 which which is somewhat deeper then the other album i have mentioned.

its well worth the purchase and it isnt mindless beats.

 

Hi Zoomer! Picked up Beach House 2004 recently. Definately worth a sniff! Forthcoming album from Stonebridge will be good(a few tracks on Disco Kandi's of late from them).I would also recommend Buzzin'Fly Vol. 1 by Ben Watt....superb west coast house if you like that sort of thing. As you say...not mindless beats.

Cheers...

yeah, I've got some of their chilled out albums...some great tunes!

 

Ya i've had my eye out for the stonebridge album and will get it soon i'm sure.

on the same sort of style I also got Junior Jack a little while ago which is top album.

I think i'll take a look at Ben Watt though.

 

hed kandi has gone down hill recently. i own a few of the 'disco kandi's' which are very good. their older stuff is best

 

I have four or five or their older mixes and they are really cool. Not heard much of their latest stuff.

Zoomer, do they still play at the Honeyclub on the beach?

 

ya they still play at honeyclub

 

cool venue, spent many a night there before i left the town

 

I worked in brighton for a just over a year and spend a few good nights down there.

ps. i got teh stonebridge album now and the second cd tray is ment to be blank.

 

can't believe i missed this thread. just ordered the summer mix tonight off amazon. summer sampler cd was awesome!!!

 

Is this the one with Salt Tank playing Eugena track #2, went round to a friends tonight and I think it might have been playing.

 

I just googled and I was wrong, this was the one :-

yeah, I've got that one - some cool tracks on it!

 

i've only really got into hedkandi in the last year or 2 so i dont have any of the older ones but hey I might end up getting them anyway.

 

hmv did have a buy one get one free offer on a few weeks ago...may be worth checking out

 

Hi. House generaly isn't really my thing. And it's a term which seems to be used for quite a few styles, similar to the use of R&B

But, one album I did like was the Chemical Brothers Live at the Social mix. A bit of a random plug I know, but I heard it for the first time in ages yesterday.

"Well house is basicly the combination of beats with tradition jazz/soul vocals and instrumental work."

And going on that definition, it should fit in here.

 

hmm might be worth checking out. thanks

 

It may not be along the lines you're after. But it is a good album might be of interest anyhow....

Should be able to pick it up muchio MOrio cheapio than amazon's price, but here's the link for some reviews and samples and track listing.....

had a really realyl good listen to this now. been blasting my Ford 6"x4" speakers in my Granada with it from Lincoln to Ipswich lol Whats your fave track on the mix? Really really like track 2, disc 1- Funkstar de luxe- When I think of you. T-Jam- Shame shame shame is just plain odd but some really nice gospel ideas with the Hammond and spirtual leader samples

 

tbh i', quite hooked on CD1 track 14

I noticed there is a new disco kandi out, doh and i just got some new cd's
