Mentalist Italian-Disco-House duo Fare Soldi had a coffee a few weeks ago, the results are like when Popeye has spinach except instead of beating some fat guy with a beard they make remixes. This is a very fun and creative ‘remix’ of that Duck Sauce track which hasn’t been released yet. So it’s a bootleg of something which doesn’t exist!! Means it very exclusive no? Is it controversial? Will A-Trak shout at me via Twitter? Will anybody actually notice or care? Who knows, so stay tuned! Will you dance and have a happy face whilst listening to this? YES!

Seen these days as the elder statesman of Hed Kandi, DJ Andy Norman is originally part of the founding line-up of one the UK’s biggest dance compilation record labels. He started working with label founder Doyle back in 1989; it was around that time when they held small local club events namely, ‘Freestyle’, ‘Colours’ and the now very well known ‘Back To Love’ for a number of years. During these years Hed Kandi was born.

Andy went on to team up with Doyle at Hed Kandi after the label’s first year to work on the label’s growth. In that period he assisted in the compilation of a number of quality album releases for Hed Kandi and the more soulful sister label, Jazz Fm records.

Currently one of the main resident DJs of ‘Team Kandi’ Andy continues to grace some of the world’s greatest nightclubs across the globe; Australia, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, Russia & North America are just a few of the destinations where Andy has brought the sound of Hed Kandi. He’s still a part of the Kandi Radio team, presenting radio shows on Ministry of Sound Radio, 4-6pm every Sunday afternoon.
