Hafdis Huld starts recording her new album

Hafdis began the year by taking a bunch of 'A-list' musicians to an isolated studio in North Yorkshire to start recording her new album.  They returned cold and tired but well-fed (by Hafdis's parents who flew over from Iceland for the occasion) and with a bunch of very exciting new tracks.  Previews will be available as soon as we can get them here.  In the meantime, check out Hafdis's new blog at http://hafdishuld.blogspot.com

Broadcaster’s ‘flat-cap house’ gets the club treatment
Broadcaster has had a brilliant few months since the release of Primary Transmission. As well as strong support from Radios 1, 2, 3, and 6 plus regional and internet radio, tracks have been played on radio stations as far away as Canada and Australia. We’ve now got some brand new remixes of ‘England’ by international DJs almost ready to go. Releases will be coming in early 2009…..

fish! are recording a new EP with the legendary Phill Brown
fish! are in the studio at the moment, with our own Calum MacColl and the legendary Island Records mix engineer Phill Brown. They’re recording 4 tracks for their brand new EP 'Chemistry'. This young band has come a very long way from their beginnings in a school talent contest and their combination of energy, talent and great tunes translates smoothly from stage to studio. The new EP will be released in early 2009.
