Just under three years ago, three dudes from Leeds join forces and etch their place in bass music history; Hessle Audio unleashed upon the world not only its creators, Ben UFO, Pearson Sound (a.k.a Ramadanman) and Pangea, but the likes of Blawan, James Blake, and Peverelist. May 16 will see the imprint's first compilation titled 116 & Rising, a double-CD/ triple-vinyl project that will no doubt have the same reception as Hyperdub's 5, fixing a well-deserved place for the label on the Mount Olympus of UK dance.
