Full review

I'm amazed that no-one has written a review on this CD yet....and as you can probably guess.......I love Hed Kandi it really is music you can listen to anytime and anywhere.

The Twisted Disco series of releases (as I said in my previous Hed Kandi review) are easily my favourites as I prefer my house music to be a little like me........deep, bangin, dirty and rough around the edges!! ha

What you get with this CD is pretty much in the title "Twisted Disco", what they do is take some well known, and some not-so well known dance tracks or vocal remixes, strip them down, take off the shiney edges and drop in a dirty beat.

The track of the CD for me is number 10 on CD 1. It is a remix of the Eric Prydz Vs Pink Floyd hit "Proper Education". The track has been mixed by a guy called Sebastian Ingrosso.

The CD also includes a cool remix of a Royksop track called "What else is there", and the popular Freddie Le Grande Remix of Carmille Jones' "The Creeps".

The artwork on the CD is just awe-inspiring, and I do worry that I feel slightly attracted to a cartoon drawing - i really must get out more. As with all Hed Kandi releases the sleevework is a piece of modern art, with sublime drawings of Ibiza esque angels.

The CD cover itself states the music is : 100% unholy, 0% saintly

A truely twisted journey into the darker side of house.
