Various Artists - Hed Kandi: The Mix 2008

Always looking forward and still combining the keen edge of cool with an accessible, inclusive musical ethos, He'd 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 He'd Kandi's many dancefloors across the globe. 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 number two smash Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand's 'Let Me Think About It' exemplifies the mood. 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'.
