Hessle Audio, since 2007, have bridged the gap between techno, grime and dubstep with a vast array of infectious and immersive sounds. Label heads David Kennedy (Ramadanman & Pearson Sound), Ben Thomson (Ben UFO) and Kevin McAuley (Pangaea) have been credited with the nurturing of groundbreaking artists that have contributed massively to the gritty, raw aesthetic of UK music.
Hessle Audio releases have now been clocked by James Blake, Kowton, Peverelist, Blawan and Objekt. Their back catalogue is a wonderful showcase of their fusion of styles. Dominated by subtle details and fiery percussion, Hessle Audio continues to break the boundaries of genre restriction and sets the standard for labels everywhere. Here’s a few of our favourites from the London imprint.
