James Blake - The Bells Sketch EP (HES011) Hessle Audio

Buy on iTunes: http://bit.ly/cxvs5l

Released on 8th March 2010 on 12" Vinyl and Digital.
Hessle Audio's eleventh release comes from James Blake, a 21-year-old from London, who has previously released for Hemlock Recordings, as well as having an EP in the pipeline for R&S. This three track EP exclusively features his own warped and manipulated vocals. James also joins Mount Kimbie for their live shows, singing as well as playing keyboard.
James Blake's mongrelised, pitch-bent production style finds kinship with dubsteps Joker and Untold, but his secret weapon is his voice: Blake sings with a sweet, honey-soaked coo that betrays his traditional background in music: one that knew the Family Stone long before itd heard of FWD - Tom Lea, Fact Magazine
Hessle Audio was formed in Leeds in early 2007 by David Kennedy, Ben Thomson and Kevin McAuley. The label has released tunes by TRG, Martyn, Pangaea, Ramadanman / Pearson Sound, Joe and Untold. In addition, Hessle Audio tunes have appeared on compilations by Tempa, Scape, Soul Jazz and Global Underground. Hessle Audio hold a residency at London club Fabric.

@TGunnmusic it's true, and james blake is awfully good at shaping his music with respect to it

in the second track, i like how the upper keys, pitch glide lead and vocals weave in and out of each other. it's so soulful and organic, so melancholic and human. but so much groove too, and produced in such perfect proportions. then of course, the bass is perfect, another perfectly shaped organ swath. james blake is definitely one of my favorite producers right now, no doubt.
