HDN001: Cubiq - Say ft. De Souza
THE HIDDEN LABEL PRESENTS: HDN001 - Cubiq - Say ft. De Souza Perched on a sinking desktop of promo, in an uncharted box of beats came Cubiq. It was not until summer 2010, somewhere on the dusty digital highway; that with one stuck thumb, they hitched their way onto the blogger-sphere. Nothing much happened that particular summer’s night, but I can tell you this - it’s all happening now. And so...

Coat Of Arms
Coat Of Arms are a musical duo comprising of Birmingham / Bristol steel & brawn. Chris James & Eats Everything Or Eats Everything & Chris James (whichever way pleases aesthetically) have a mutual love of big bass, melodic chords and slick beats which created a soundclash with more fight than the Battle Of Hastings! Weaving their varying styles together has seen their sound become...

There is an air of mystery shrouding the true meaning behind the acronym of M.A.N.D.Y., an alias which embodies the mutual talents of childhood friends Philipp Jung and Patrick Bodmer. The duo continue to impress with their Sweatbox remix of Tahloula’s We Play House (available now on Beatport.com)

RA.274
Although operating in a grey area between genres is hardly a novelty these days—particularly for a London-based producer—George FitzGerald is one of those pulling off the trick better than most. He’s closely associated with Hotflush Recordings—itself a bastion of ambiguity—thanks to a pair of 12-inches that came at bass music from a house and garage starting point. (Or was it the other...

Ghostpoet’s new single ‘Liiines’ has been remixed by not once but twice, with each artist giving their own unique take on the Mercury nominee’s work. xxxy lets Obaro’s vocals excel on his edit, keeping his own additions in the background. Berlin based Lando Kal (one half of Lazer Sword) on the other hand skews ‘Liiines’ into something altogether creepier, elements of Ghostpoet’s original...
