Pev & Kowton - Raw Code/Junked (Hessle Audio)
Artists: Pev & Kowton Title: Raw Code / Junked Format: 12“ & Digital Label: Hessle Audio Cat: HES024 Release: 11-Feb-2013
Everything's bloody subjective these days but to my mind, Hessle Audio have never relented on quality, not once. Not in six years of releasing music have they dropped the sonic ball. A noteworthy achievement in a world where seemingly anything and everyone you ever loved is bound to fuck up at some point.
With HES024 left in the more than capable hands of Kowton and the venerable Peverelist it's obvious that there's no need to fear that David, Kevin and Ben are losing their A&R touch in 2013. Developing the already refined and rightly feted Livity Sound - sound, though without collaborator Asusu, the duo toughen up and point forwards. Neck braces at the ready for A side/dancefloor killa 'Raw Code', while your local discotheque needs to invest in a much bigger sound system if you're planning to play 'Junked' out.
Obviously you're gonna go geddit when it drops in February but for now run to the shop and get Ben UFO's Fabriclive mix which is unsurprisingly great.
