Delano Smith, Patrice Scott, Deepset - Hed Kandi Volume 1 [Upstairs Asylum]

Format: 12" in printed sleeve.

Don't be fooled by the tongue-in-cheek title, there's no handbag house to be found on Hed Kandi Vol. 1. Instead you'll witness proper beatdown vibes from true Detroit underground legends, all curated by scene veteran Norm Talley. The ever-impressive Delano Smith unfurls the signature Mixmode sound with the hypnotic and intimately atmospheric dubs of The Lost Synth parts 1 & 2, which take up the A-side. On the flip, Sistrum Recordings boss Patrice Scott delivers emotive, Motor City-stamped soul in his unmistakable style with Better Days, followed by deep, basement-focused beats on Soltek from Deepset.
