Sax infused house is something Hed Kandi know a thing or two about. With The Lovely Laura among their residents, you can be sure to hear plenty of classic sax numbers and jazz reworks at their glamorous Saturday night affairs at Es Paradis. So who better then to hand pick some of these dance floor anthems for your listening pleasure? Hed Kandi presents their new compilation Summer of Sax.
Without a doubt the saxophone has been the in vogue instrument of the year, with the charts full of jazz infused solos and classical twists. From Oliver $ to Claptone, it seems artists can't get enough of this big band favourite, and neither can we. The album kicks off with last year's smash from Faul & Wad Ad Vs. Pnau, Changes; and with its infectious melody and summer beats, it sets the tone perfectly for what is without a doubt the perfect soundtrack to round off your summer.
It transports you to those magical moments only an Ibiza sunset can capture, with tracks like Mr. Probz's Waves (Robin Schulz Remix) conjuring up images of the crystal clear waters and idyllic views of the island's sunset strip, with its infectious melodies and summer-time lyrics. Things then hot up as the evening cools down, the hedonistic sounds of MÖWE's joyous remix of Charlie Boulala's Sonnenkind building up to the atmospheric tones of Anna Naklab's magical vocals in Parra for Cuva's True Thoughts.
The mix then moves onto the sounds of sunrise, and those priceless moments shared among friends watching the sun creep over the horizon. The sax-driven house comes from Claptone's intense offering No Eyes, is followed by the warm tones of FCL's It's You.
Better still, the album is out now, so you don't have to wait to get your hands on this slice of summer, and to celebrate the release Hed Kandi are heading to the ultimate summer destination, San Antonio's sunset strip, where on Saturday 20th September they're inviting you to Cafe Del Mar for the album launch. With views of the Balearic waters, there'll be cocktails flowing and Hed Kandi residents Ben Santiago and The Lovely Laura, (whose collaboration with Ridney Sound Your Code features on the compilation), will be treating us to a selection of tunes off the album. There'll also be handing out 25 copies of the album to some lucky customers, as well as the chance of some free tickets to Hed Kandi at Es Paradis afterwards.
