Sauce

8/10

Yes, Hed Kandi have another release of the finest cheese in the world. Swiss, Chedder, Jarlsberg, Blue Vein, Brei, Old English, Ricotta… you name it, it’s there. Every mainstream song that’s been released in the past six months is pretty much on this triple compilation CD. Yes, a big dig I know, but it’s exactly that.

Hed Kandi is more based around the happy uplifting mixes that get the girls’ groove on, hence all the pastels and pictures of tarts on the front cover of the CD. The CD features some of the hottest tracks at the moment, such as Destination Calabria, The Creeps, Dare Me, Rain Down Love… the list goes on and on. There are forty-two tracks of uplifting house to either warm you up for a big night in the clubs or just to party.

With big names such as Alex Guadino, Fedde Le Grand, Freemasons, Hoxton Whores, Martin Solveig, Dennis Christopher, Dave Spoon, and more, you can’t go wrong with the list of blistering tracks that smash out with groovy bass lines, uplifting vocals and every instrument under the sun backed up with a kick drum to fly throughout the mix.

So if you’re after some of the biggest tracks out at the moment, similar to Ministry of Sound compilations but without the big electro influence, this is the CD for you. This is this winter’s pick of house music currently smashing the charts around the world.
