Following a series of vinyl-only 12″s, the label that championed some of the most timeless cuts from the likes of Kahn & Neek, Lurka, Rachael, Dj Sotofett, Commodo and Hodge, now presents us with this exxxclusive cassette compilation featuring their back catalog.
Kicking off with the B-Side of their latest release, the tape-reel works it’s way back through their catalog, beginning with the latest head-turner from Hodge ‘Flashback’ right through to the incendiary ‘Backchat’ by Kahn & Neek.
It’s a great chance to hear these cuts on ferric-grade tape, with tunes such as Rachael’s fuzzy, hardcore residue ‘Okada’ and it’s Jungle remake by the Sex Tags bo$$man, providing just two of the highlights in this listening experience that the cassette provides…
Hotline intends to maintain it’s stance on the physical manifestation of music, and whilst this tape does indeed offer the digital files of previously vinyl-only releases, the only way you can obtain these is by grabbing the tape, and this tape provides a very satisfactory manifestation of their proud back catalogue, all served in a hot-lookin’ Studio Tape-Echo design.
The B-side features a 40ish min, fully exclusive, cassette-only mix by the duo that kickstarted the label’s affairs with Backchat – Kahn & Neek.Side A 1 –Hodge (3) Flashback 2 –Hodge (3) Mind Games 3 –Commodo Good Grief 4 –Commodo F_ck Mountain 5 –Dj Sotofett So-Phat Riddimix Is Junglized 6 –Rachael (6) Okada 7 –Lurka BR Greaze 8 –Lurka Full Clip 9 –Kahn (5) & Neek Dubchat 10 –Kahn (5) & Neek Backchat Side B 11 –Kahn (5) & Neek XXXclusive Hotline Mix
