V/A Hypercolour 10 Years

It would be fair to say that Hypercolour, the UK label founded by
Alex Jones and Jamie Russell, have come a long way since the
label’s inception 10 years ago.
From humble beginnings, to a roster of artists spanning across
continents, genres, styles, and sounds, the label curates a very
special 16 track compilation album to celebrate ten years of
operation, and to capture the essence of the label’s ethos and
energies that have been at the forefront of the label’s output in
recent times.
Over the years, Hypercolour have represented and nurtured young
talent within the house, techno and bass communities, with Jones
and Russell enlisting the A&R assistance (and all important extra
pair of ears) of Ste Roberts to help steer the label’s direction.
Household names, such as Maya Jane Coles, Huxley and Mosca, all
achieved considerable success on the label with singles that really
captured dance music’s shift back into the mainstream, with clever,
sophisticated and pop-centric house music. Representing a more left
of centre sound, the likes of Kris Wadsworth, Glimpse and Tom
Demac have developed into artists with a wide sonic palette and
career to boot, whilst long serving ‘legends’ of the scene, such as
Luke Vibert (and his Kerrier District alias), Laurent Garnier and
Groove Armada have all signed up to the labels vision and direction
for well received singles and albums.
A glance at the all-star cast on ‘Hypercolour 10 Years’ reveals
appearances by some of the aforementioned producers (Vibert,
Demac) and also presents brand new material from the current crop
of musical misfits currently shaping and influencing the Hypercolour
sound. A breadth of deep techno, raw and uncompromising house
music, frenetic breakbeat and old school flavours are delivered in
style by the likes of Roman Flugel, FaltyDL, Matthew Herbert,
DMX Krew, Dense & Pika, A Sagittariun and The Analogue Cops.
The quality remains at the highest level throughout as tempos and
moods dip and dive, with Sebastian Mullaert, Yaleesa Hall X Malin,
Gary Gritness , Matt Karmill and Neil Landstrumm all giving us
their very best and helping the label move into it’s eleventh year in
very rude health!
