Free Mix - Hexadecimal - Acid Licks - Production Mix

Starting things off on this early Friday morning we have last night's guest mix from The Shoe Skool Sessions on NSB Radio. Hexadecimal was kind enough to provide us with his "Acid Licks" Ableton Production Mix.

Scott Reeder AKA Hexadecimal has been realeasing tracks since 2002. His first two remixes were picked up by James Zabiela and The Plumps. That's one way to get things moving in the right direction! He is also about to release a 14 track album and he won "Best Breakthrough Dj" at the 2007 International Breakspoll Awards.  Hexadecimal is a seriously determined fellow who owns in the studio as well as behind the decks. His Acid Licks mix we have here gives an excellent display of his capabilities rippin through 28 tracks in just under an hour. It's a well crafted mix that keeps a solid groove and builds steadily.

"When it comes to breaking the scene, Hexadecimal has proved his worth and then some, but with his unwavering determination at the helm, there’s no sitting back and basking in the glory. He sees this as still just the launch pad to a career doing what he loves best, and while the ‘to do’ list is always growing, the drive and passionate dedication of Hexadecimal tick all the boxes for success."

Hexadecimal's album Base 16 comes out on Distinctive Records on 10th May :)

Hexadecimal - Serious Action Feat Percydread + Dub Menace Mix [DISN188]
Release date - 22nd March 2010.

After the well received debut EP from the fast rising beat-meister Scott Reeder (AKA Hexadecimal) here comes single number 2, 'Serious Action'. Taken from his soon come debut album Base 16.

Not sure if there is a genre yet called Reggae Breaks or Dub Beats but if there was then this track would be there. The track features the sound-system styled vocals from the Nottingham-based troubadour Percy Dread. Possibly best known for fronting one of the UKs best loved roots reggae combos the Natural-Ites, Percy doesn’t stray far from his Rasta sensibilities and his poetic lyric melds with electronic beats with surprising aplomb.

On the flip Bristol newcomers 'Dub Menace' blur the lines between dubstep and UK Funky, dropping heavy basslines and low slung beats. Great things ahead surely for this west country pairing.
