Hyp 227: Will Ward

On Hyp mix duty this week, Will treats us to a range of club focussed numbers, with a nod to the noisier side of House and Techno. Starting with an intergalactic time stretched version of Donna Summer’s legendary ‘I Feel Love’, we’re then brazenly dropped into the brutal, industrial clattering of ‘Vitriol’ from Romanian Techno figure Cosmin TRG. A number of Ward’s unreleased tracks make their way into the mix alongside dirty House cuts like ‘Feelings’ from charismatic LA producer and L.I.E.S. affiliate Delroy Edwards. Rounding off the mix of influences is a sublime Will Ward edit of 90s Ibiza anthem ‘Your Not Alone’ by Trip-Hop group Olive; the celestial chords of the original are looped and transformed into a strangely disconcerting piece with smatterings of static noise and alarm sounds.
