H.E.N.C.H Mixtape Vol 1 Review

So the mixtape arrived in the posted and first things first I like the packaging which is a good start. Upon purchasing the cd you already know what you're gonna get! A solid hour of signature wobbles! The majority of the tunes being Jakes' as he has 20 out of the 32 tracks on the cd some would say thats slightly greedy but hey he's the boss! The mix plays out more like a set you would expect to hear from Jakes rather than a showcase of the artists on the label maybe my idea of a mixtape is different? The middle section of the mixtape comes as welcome break in the form of Komonazmuk's 'You Fo' & Mensah's 'Pulse 80s'. All in all the mix if full of VIPs and enough wobble to please any H.E.N.CH aficionado. That said, I think it's time for a few of the H.E.N.C.H artists to switch up their sound....

Free H.E.N.C.H. Tune

Ahead of the release of the H.E.N.C.H. mixtape, label head honcho Jakes has given away his remix of his collaboration with Joker '3K Lane'. This isn't the VIP that has been knocking about for a while, it's a different remix which is much bouncier. The mixtape is mixed by Jakes and features tunes from friend of the blog and label new boy Mensah, as well as Komonazmuk, Tek-One, Chasing Shadows and more. There are gonna be vinyl samplers of the tunes as well, although I'm unsure at the moment whether the full 320 versions of the tunes are gonna be released unmixed, or whether they're only gonna be released in mixed format, similar to the Rinse compilations. Anyway grab the tune below and enjoy!
