Hed Kandi - Twisted Disco

Hed Kandi is proud to present the return of its sleazier sister, Twisted Disco, on March 20th.

A darker shade of Kandi, Twisted Disco features galvanised, steroid-pumped versions of Kandi favourites (such as Joey Negro's Make a Move on me, Van Helden's My My My and Mylo's Muscle Car) alongside brand new tracks, all consisting of big, growling basslines, electronic riffs and rubbery bleeps.

When Lex Luthor corrupts Superman with Kryptonite, his costume loses its brightness and he starts doing bad things! Twisted disco is Kandi gone to the dark side. Like Annequin Skywalker's transformation to Darth Vader, the tracks are given body armour and a light sabre - fortified for their role in evil dancefloor destruction! CD1 moves from said Mylo track to the stomping bass and moody-yet-camp hypnosis of Tiga's You Gonna Want Me, featuring Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters fame on vocals. The Squint mix of Wez Clarke's 'What Can I Do?' continues the cool nonchalant vocal theme alongside a catchy b-line and acidic synths. House legends Cajmere and Dajae team up again on Say U will. An abstract ragged bass line, old school beats and wonky noises are juxtaposed with the soulful, glossy sass of the vocals making for a pairing that shouldn't work but really does. Following the success of Jose Gonzalez's sublime reworking of The Knife's Heartbeats, CD1 closes with Rez The Dog's very different, jerky, robotic remix which still maintains the song's melancholy beauty.
