Started in 2007 by David Kennedy, Ben Thomson and Kevin McAuley, the label quickly became  a benchmark for quality, through releases from (the then) new artists like TRG, Untold and James Blake, as  well as a vehicle for their own productions. With 18 releases over the past three years, the imprint is  renowned for its impeccable quality control. Kennedy is their most prolific producer, under his  Ramadanman and Pearson Sound monikers, now amalgamated into his own name. Ben UFO has always  stayed true to his initial love, that of DJing almost as curation: he demonstrates this biweekly on his Rinse  FM radio show and at Hessle's Fabric residency, having been one of the first to start playing with the tempo  to allow for older house and garage influences in his sets. Pangaea defined his sonic palette on a self-titled  EP, a landmark of 2010, with minimal rolling basslines, vocal-driven melodies and more than a nod to the  music's old school roots. The compilation exists as a way to unite the entire Hessle roster, as well as allowing them an avenue to put  out work by friends and producers they have been unable to work with so far. The first disc is all new work  plus a second has a selection of choice cuts from the back catalogue. There's also work from producers who  they feel have shaped the label's aesthetic, like D1's 'Sub Zero', whose sub bass stabs were a staple of the  early DMZ sets that they initially united over back in 2005. One of their close affiliates, Addison Groove is  also featured, his anthem 'Footcrab' having done so much to bring the tough tempo of juke to the world's  dancefloors. The subtle pitch-shifting of a looping hip hop vocal and the polyrhythmic patter of rim shots  and cymbals on 'Fuk Tha 101' are unmistakably his. Another producer previously unreleased on Hessle is  synth-mad Randomer whose 'Brunk' features an industrial strength kick and finishes up with ghostly pads  invoking musique concrete. The disc is rounded off by Bristol's Peverelist, whose own dub-soaked  productions, as well as those released on his label Punch Drunk, owe so much to that city's rich musical  traditions. On 'Sun Dance' synth chords bring to mind the dystopian drum n bass of DJ Krust, the track  driven forwarded by paper-like hi-hats and cymbals. There's a single claustrophobic Hammond note held  through to the close alongside the echoing sounds of water dripping in a cave. Disc one kicks off with the spritely chimes and shuffling beat of Elgato's 'Music', whose muted vocal chant  was used to such beautiful effect in Kennedy's recent FABRICLIVE mix. Untold bring's detuned chords,  jangling glass and a cheeky synth line, breaking down into mutant funky house. Blawan's 'Potchla Vee' reveals  some unexpected instrumentation: the skittering of what sounds like the cogs of a clock gives little  breathing room to the assault of tribal drums and processed grunts. The Pearson Sound track 'Stifle' seems  to slow things down, with an adenoidal vocal snippet acting as counterfoil to the percussive snap of the  drums, delicate EQing and synth washes providing characteristic texture. Once again on 'Twice', Joe  demonstrates the effectiveness of unexpected drum sampling, with a disconnected beat cooked up out of  error bleeps and the tap of a typewriter. Pangaea's own contribution is a rave homage; oscillating between  synth stabs and a filtered ragga MC sample, the track is layered with a bouncy acid bassline, creating a  phantom jump up effect. Romania's TRG was Hessle's first release and here builds on his mutant garage  template, with a reverb-soaked drum kit jostling against some analogue pads and a seagull-sounding  distorted warble. James Blake, re-edits an earlier Hessle release, bringing the processed vocals to the fore  much in the style of his recent album. It's soul music that's undecidedly electronic, the vocals screwed and  chopped into the background, a virtuoso display of arrangement ordering a lacklustre pair of cowbells, a  chorus of shuffles, croaks and pads into an infectious slow burner.
