The Hed Kandi world tour touches down in Tokyo and this mix is full of that eastern charm. First up Hed Kandi resident Dean Rigg gets into the mix with Hardrive and Deep inside mixed up by Harry Choo Choo Romero then straight into the track that is blowing up dancefloors worldwide that is Dennis Ferrer and Hey Hey, this track really has the magic at the moment. Then anthems keep on coming with the new mix of Keep On Rising by Ian Carey, this is pure dynamite and a recognizable track with a new makeover for 2010. Big pianos and vocals are sent straight down the speakers to your ears courtesy of Inaya Day and Nick Jay with the excellent All I’m Saying track the straight over to man of the moment David Guetta and his latest track with Estelle. Dean features his own remix of the massive Kandi track by The One Hundred and Break Me Down, guaranteed to get the floors moving. Other stand out tracks on this mix includes David Penn and Deep Inside as well as the amazing remix by A-Trak of Heads will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and rounding of the mix is Example and Won’t Go Quietly the EPIC remix.

Carl Hanaghan goes straight for the jugular with Laidback Luke & Gregor Salto and Step By Step the Big Room mix and energy and club feel continues with the full mix, next is Mr Seamus Haji and his track with Dino Psaras entitled My Destiny which is mainroom madness at its finest. Riva Starr features twice on this mix first with his remix of Reboot and Enjoy Music; this has to be one of the finest remixes this year and a track that is going to around all the way into and past the summer. Next up is Riva Starr’s own track entitled Black Cat, White Cat which also has an awesome vibe going on with many different FX and quirky noises. One of the big tracks from last summer was of course Michel Cleis and La Mezcla and its featured here in its new Ant Brooks form and it will definitely wipe the floor into a frenzy. Subida by Carl is featured on this mix, a big piano led track with a catchy loop that has been working so well over the last few months for all the Hed Kandi DJs. An excellent use of the Inner City and Good Life sample is used by Kim Fai in his track also called Good Life; this track builds and builds before the dirty electro bass kicks in. Inaya Day crops up again on the second mix with Joy, what a vocal performance she puts in with this track. Prok & Fitch round off the mix with Walk With Me.

This is a slammin two disc mix cd that continues the World Series for Hed Kandi and will do Tokyo proud, this disc will ease you into the summer and give you a small glance into the future on the White Isle. (Antony Angell)
