Autumn:
rain, wind, cold, shorter days, Winter Chill 2... Goes to show that
not everything is bleak this side of Christmas.
Around this time last year,
London-based label Hed Kandi released the first in the Winter
Chill series. DJ Mark Doyle goes back to the woodwork, and brings
us number 2. Leading the pack are Ibiza-darlings Afterlife,
followed by the likes of Moby, Chicane, a very chilled mix of Delirium’s
Silence,
The
Beloved, Thievery Corporation,
Goldfrapp,
Smith & Mighty, Tosca, 45 Dip and much, much
more, all offering songs to curl up into, to find warmth with. No need
to say that, even more so than its predecessor, this album brings together
the best of chilled music for the listener’s pleasure.
It is so hard to find even
one outstanding track here that we won’t try at all. The selection is absolutely
faultless. But after all, that’s what Hed Kandi has accustomed us to. In
just over two years and twelve compilations, all very different, and all
of very high quality, Mark Doyle and his team have got us used to buy anything
released by them with eyes closed.
Winter Chill 2 is
a wonderful collection of gorgeous songs, all carefully selected by music
lovers for music lovers. Over two hours of pure delight. If you haven’t
experienced the Hed Kandi touch yet, isn’t it time you started now?

Hed
Kandi again, this time with their winter collection. And if you were to
believe them, the winter is going to be very cold. Despite the title, this
compilation is filled with warm, down tempo quality songs, from the eastern
flavours of the opening title, to the whirling rap of Soon E MC on Hybrid
's Sinequanon or the isolationist mood of Morcheeba's Moog Island.
There is not one title in this carefully selected list that you could do
without. And it might be freezing cold outside, but it is more than just
warm in the head with these. Hed Kandi is THE label of the moment, we love
them and we definitely want to hear more from them.

THE SURFER'S
GUIDE TO HED KANDI
HED
KANDI
Mark Doyle's baby, named
after Jazz FM's Saturday night/Sunday morning programme, Hed Kandi has
been for a couple of years now, the home of cool. Bringing more brilliant
compilations than anybody else, and providing the world with Afterlife,
Anthea or 45 Dip, this label is definitely devoted to absolute quality. |
SUBATOMIC
Subatomic is Afterlife's
own record label. This site gives you an insight on what to expect from
the band who brought Simplicity over a year ago. |
