Bleep

Hessle Audio's Pangaea finally brings his long-awaited sophomore full-length LP to the storied label he co-founded with Changing Channels. With arguably more eyes on him (and Hessle as a whole) than ever before, Pangaea wonderfully meets the moment here by delivering the goods with steady-handed precision. Building off the momentum of a nearly flawless run of singles much-talked about DJ sets, Changing Channels is simply chock full of bangers that please and perplex in equal measure. Split into two movements, the album toggles vocal-lead and ecstatic blasts of house inflected bounce and headier propulsive swells of heaving rave with just enough room to catch your breath between all the swinging hooks.
