Haul 10: Hacienda
June 22, 2010
Melbourne based Haul Music’s latest outing hit the digital shelves earlier this month. The housey Hacienda Ep – care of Andy Hart & Mike Buhl is available now from Beatport.
Melbourne’s underground house music scene has produced some rather pretty boys over the years, but only rarely has it produced such beautiful music. In this latest release we bring you both! Put your hands together, prick up your ears, and be still your beating hearts as we welcome the incredible talents of Mike Buhl and Andy Hart, with their debut collaboration, Hacienda. Each of these respective young slashies (that’s deejay-slash-producer for those who didn’t know) has already attracted solid support for their solo work over the last twelve months, but this combined outing is truly something special.
Hacienda is old school house with a modern approach to production that is both smooth AND sharp. Think about that! Equally exciting for us at Haul Music is the addition of Lewie Day to our growing list of remixers-extraordinaire. Lewie is arguably one of the hottest names in house music right now, with his music sitting comfortably at the front of Steve Bug’s crate, amongst many others. And, for the first time we have extended our long, loving arms all the way across to Berlin, to instigate a global group hug with Kai Preussner, aka CityCobra. An old mate of Mike Buhl has become a new mate of ours, and it feels goooooood. Oh, and Craig McWhinney knocked out a remix too, just in case you thought we’d forgotten about the techno thing. Never!
