It's a Hessle Audio takeover.  The label, the brainchild of Ramadanman and Ben UFO have been putting out stunning releases since 2007 and are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon with plans for a 6-track double-pack release from Ramdanman on April 5th.  After years breaking ground on Sub.fm, the crew recently moved over to the Rinse.fm airwaves last month and are quickly growing into one of the biggest cant-miss shows on the roster.

Their 11th release on the label 'The Bells Sketch' from James Blake illustrates the impossibility of pigeon-holing and pinning this label down to one specific genre.  It straddles the line between R&B, Soul, and Garage flavors in only a way that James Blake can.  Bottom line- whatever you want to define it as, it's great music and that's something you can come to expect from the Hessle crew.  You can preview and purchase Hessle 011 from our friends at Juno Download HERE as well as browse the entire Hessle discography HERE.

Whether it's through their silky smooth DJ sets or productions from TRG, Pangaea, Joe, Untold, or Ramadanman himself, the crew has a sound that demands your attention.  Buckle your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.



In preparation for the upcoming Hessle takeover of Room3 at Fabric on the 19th of March, Bruk put together a promo mix to get you in the mood:

Ramadanman's superb Hessle Audio label has shown a hunger for variety and experimentation which have quickly placed it among the most forward-thinking sources for fresh dubstep material. This contribution to the Dub War Podcast series showcases the sort of minimalism and rhythmic inventiveness that have given Ramadanman a voice in defining the shape of dubstep as it continues to push forward into unexplored territory. Hints of techno, house and ambient are merely the tips of the iceberg hinting at what lies beneath. Freshness!
