Hypercolour have launched their new pro-vinyl imprint label, Hype_Ltd, by re-releasing Maya Jane Cole’s Humming Bird and Nobody Else…. alongside 2 amazing remixes from T.Williams and Youandewan.
“Hype_Ltd will doff it’s hat to the past, where as Hypercolour will continue in it’s pursuit to push things forward, this will be the notable difference between the catalogues.”

It is 7 years since BBC DJ John Peel died. The Black Dog have posted up a recording of a John Peel show which featured them as guests. It will be available to download until 14th October:
“R.I.P John Peel. Here’s a recording of a show which we featured, please listen to it all to understand why John meant so much to us all. We’ll leave this up for a week.”

“The concept of The Essential Mix was dreamt up by Eddie Gordon who produced the show alongside its host, Pete Tong, from the very beginning in ’93. Markedly different from the multi-cassette, mixtape boxsets of the same era – usually recorded straight from the system of a massive rave – it heralded an opportunity for DJs to work a more discerning audience, while simultaneously showing off their music knowledge and bigging-up their own productions.
The listing and archiving of music is widely synonymous with obsessive, usually male, fans who are often unfairly portrayed as sweaty, chain-smoking, antisocial hermit types. But it’s rare that critics take the time to acknowledge the time, energy and pure passion it takes to develop the archives and playlists we take for granted. Sadly (for some), the days of waiting up until 2am to push record on your cassette recorder, then hoping you’ll wake 45 minutes later to turn the tape over and repeat, are long gone. Instead, there are generous and long-suffering saviours out there like Das Boy, who do the job for us – and do it much more effectively.”
