Stritcly Riddims No 13 Mixed by Samrai

strictly riddims4
Inspired by dancehall riddims and the recent work of two of our favourite producers Murlo (Quartz EP) and Dubbel Dutch (Self Help Riddim), we have decided to launch the HDD Strictly Riddims mix series focusing on our favourite instrumentals. With this series we hope to increase appreciation for dancehall riddims and instrumentals as we feel that in dancehall the productions and producers don’t often get the props they deserve. The 13th mix in the series is by Samrai from Manchester crew Swing Ting. If you don’t know about Samrai, you should! Not only a great DJ (make sure you see him when you can) but a great producer as well. His mix focuses on well i’ll let him describe it:
“Going for a 12″ version excursions selection ft. 80s computer / digital dancehall into 90s with a few 00s pieces to finish off as I thought they hadn’t been covered as much by the series.”
You can check out all the 12″s here.

Strictly Riddims No 10 Mixed by So Shifty

strictly riddims10

Inspired by dancehall riddims and the recent work of two of our favourite producers Murlo (Quartz EP) and Dubbel Dutch (Self Help Riddim), we have decided to launch the HDD Strictly Riddims mix series focusing on our favourite instrumentals. With this series we hope to increase appreciation for dancehall riddims and instrumentals as we feel that in dancehall the productions and producers don’t often get the props they deserve. The tenth mix in the series is from German dancehall dons So Shifty.Their talents are so far reaching that it’s tough to narrow down what they do, if there is anything going on in the Europe that has to do with dancehall, soca or cumbia they are likely to be involved. For their mix they decided to switch things up a bit and focus on riddims from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. So we have 55 or so riddims expertly mixed into a wonderful 20 minute span.

#HDD Hangover 7 : Hootie Who

We at HDD have a phrase for those suffering after a night out at Hipsters Dont Dance it’s called a #hddhangover. So as a thank you to our amazing crowd we have decided to create a mix series to ease you back into the real world. The seventh mix in the series goes for a mostly instrumental vibe, it’s the second mix in this series by HDD resident Hootie Who. One thing’s for sure it’s better than Alkaseltzer!

Here are a few words from him:

For my second mix in this series i wanted to try and take it somewhere different. Everyone in the series took this idea and added a new element so I came back to the series thinking differently than when i started it 6 months ago. For me as a DJ i can see the power of music especially in melodies and felt that a mostly instrumental mix would highlight some of my recent favourites. Of course I had to put my all time fave in there as well. I’ll let you guess which one it is (hint its the one with the 3 cuts on this mix).
