Hessle Audio

Hessle Audio is a UK-based dance music record label that has been making waves in the industry since its inception. Founded by Pearson Sound, Ben Ufo, and Pangaea, the label has quickly established itself as a powerhouse in the electronic music scene.

With an impressive roster of talented artists and performers, Hessle Audio consistently delivers cutting-edge releases that push boundaries and defy genres. Their commitment to quality and innovation has earned them a loyal following of fans who eagerly anticipate each new release.

Known for their distinctive sound and meticulous attention to detail, Hessle Audio continues to be at the forefront of underground dance music. Whether you're a seasoned raver or just discovering electronic music, this label is sure to have something that will captivate your ears and move your feet.

Hessle Audio welcomes Toumba to the label with the four track EP 'Petals'. Based in Amman, Jordan, Toumba explores Levantine microtonality, rhythms, play styles and timbres across the record. Lead track 'Istibtan' is a twist on a typical Jordanian wedding song with deep subs providing the foundations, while 'Petals' rides on the heavy swing which is unique to music from the south of Jordan. On the flip side, 'Hazzeh' deconstructs Dabkeh, while the EP is rounded off with 'Identity Crisis' which is four minutes of lilting melodies all in Maqam Rast but played in an untraditional way.

Toumba is a producer, DJ and sound designer and is a curator at MNFA, a club and arts space in Jordan's capital Amman. A nationally respected artist, Toumba also holds a residency at the MMAG Foundation. The foundation works with a selection of the most gifted artists in the Levant, providing a space for artistic research, production and critical discourse.
