We are excited to bring you details of our latest compilation, Hed Kandi Miami 2013!

With Miami’s position as the USA’s dance music hub ever-strong and house music continuing to inspire dancefloors around the globe, Hed Kandi returns with another Miami devoted album.

March is an exciting time for the Miami music scene, with Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival occurring within the same two weeks and hundreds of thousands of EDM obsessed fans flocking to live it up in view of one of the most infamous skylines and sandy beaches in the world. 

Hed Kandi Miami 2013 captures the upfront, awe inspiring sounds set to roll off the decks at every seductive, chic party to hit the city this year.

Hed Kandi headline DJs, Phil Faversham and Carl Hanaghan have put their unrivalled knowledge to work to select the crème de la crème of house grooves. Divided into two mixes, mix 1, exquisitely mixed by Carl Hanaghan, exudes tantalising beach vibes that get you in the mood for pool party pre-parties, featuring legends, The Shapeshifters, Frankie Knuckles, Supernova, Soul Avengerz and Soulmagic.

Mix 2, mixed by Phil Faversham, delves into the upbeat sounds of the Hed Kandi club floor with an uplifting mix of deep house and harder house beats reflecting the perfect Miami club night. Including Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez, Prok & Fitch, Kings of Tomorrow, The Cube Guys, Sonny Fodera, Danny Kane and Jacqui George, this disc will keep you partying straight through to sunrise.

For the sounds of this year’s Miami party scene, Hed Kandi Miami 2013.

Happy Friday!

Welcome to Residents in Residence, our new feature taking a musical look into the DJ sets of our resident here at Hed Kandi.

"I've put this mix together as a representation of the sound I bring to the table for Hed Kandi. The beauty of representing the label is that you do not have to be pigeon-holed and genre specific. We produce so many amazing albums that cover the spectrum of house music from the soulful balearic grooves of Beach House through to the uplifting vibes of Disco Kandi and Nu Disco, then the driving techy or sultry beats of Twisted Disco and Deep House and the seminal classics of Back To Love.

This is what I try to emulate in my sets. For them to have a start, a middle and an end so that the night makes sense, rather then an audible bombardment on your senses that will leave you shattered and blown out after the first few hours. This mix includes material from the likes of Murk and Louie Vega through to Copyright.

I'm sure you're going to love it"

Residents in Residence: John Jones by Hed Kandi on Mixcloud

John Jones will next be playing for Hed Kandi at Pacha London on 16 March.

Back to Love, the original Hed Kandi series, returns in 2013 to celebrate the finest true club classics that once paved the way for a whole generation of music lovers.

On Monday 28 January, we are going to be live from Ministry of Sound Radio studios for one hour only to give you an exclusive listen to some of the definitive classics that feature on our forthcoming 3CD album

Neev will guide us through some of the vocally dominated anthems that defined an era including Incognito & Jocelyn Brown, Degrees of Motion, Ce Ce Peniston and Pulse, as well as house classics from Nightcrawlers and Ultra Naté. There will also be music from the hip house legends Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest.

It’s been 25 years since the Second Summer of Love in 1988 and 1989, which is what sparked the revival of the Back to Love compilation series, and we are lucky to have Hed Kandi resident DJ Andy Daniels who will be joining us in the studio to chat about the house music scene over the past few decades and how it has evolved.

We will also be giving away a copy of the album live on the show so keep your ears peeled.

We’ll be looking to involve you in the show as much as possible so make sure you reach out on our Facebook & Twitter communities.

Join us as we celebrate one of our most prestigious releases on Monday 28 January at 4pm, live on Ministry of Sound Radio.

Dutchman Patrick Hagenaar is back in familiar territory, releasing one of his biggest tracks to date, You Got Me (Glowing In The Dark), on Hed Kandi Records this week.

Currently DMC Buzz Chart number 1, the track has already featured on David Guetta’s and Tiesto’s radio shows and on on BBC Radio 1.

With remixes courtesy of My Digital Enemy and Dan Van & Adam Fierce – this is a killer package not to be missed!
