Swiss imprint Hive Audio has been on a prolific run of form recently, with their 7 Years of Hive Audio compilation earning rave reviews across the board. Their latest endeavour is no less compelling, with Swiss native Kellerkind marking his return to the imprint via the dexterous hues and sultry strands that characterise the Tristesse EP. Sweltering vibes and sporadic keys usher in the title track, before a heavy-slung bassline adds a sure fire dose of energy to the already potent equation. The quieter, more pitched-back moments come armed with a heightened range of suspense too, making this one an apt weapon to draw on when the dance floor requires something special. As its title alludes to, the B-side, Le Voyage, brings the listener on a proverbial journey, with its summery, Balearic synths and groove-drenched capabilities ensuring it signs off the package with gusto. In all, the Tristesse EP its an intricate insight into the mind of a most reputable producer.

"Tristesse EP" (Le Voyage & Tristesse)

Started my love of music back when I went clubbing in London and Ibiza, went to the USA and as much as I loved it in the USA the clubbing just wasn’t like it was back in the uk. The British are some of the best music lovers and DJs.
My love of all sorts of music keeps me going now that I live back in England down in sunny Brighton. 
If I didn’t have my music I honestly don’t know what sort of a life I would have lived.  
I’ve never heard so much amazing music over the years. 
Thanks to all the DJs for sharing there music and sound cloud, I love it
