  Hooj Description

It goes without saying that all dance music, by definition, contains an obvious, functional element within it - the need to make people dance. As a label, Hooj has grappled with this simple imperative for over a decade now, trying to keep everything working on today's dancefloors, but at the same time, like everyone else, looking out for tomorrow's sounds, trying to work out the new form in which the function will be contained.

Showcasing tracks and styles that are synonymous with the mellower side of Hooj's output as well as that of Airtight, the summery subterranean grooves and lazily twisted tech house sound of Form + Function (a two CD exploration into the deep house sound compiled and mixed by label head Red Jerry), mines a smooth, and at times hypnotic vein. Providing a fresh take on the already heavily saturated chillout album market, Form + Function eases the coffee-table trance and flogged-to-death downtempo sounds to one side, letting the subtle four to the floor rhythms take centre-stage.

Featuring such artists / remixers from Hooj's roster as Charles Webster, Nathan Larsen, Kenneth Graham and Nova Scotia, disc one is the warmer and jazzier of the two letting the sun-drenched chords and percussive rhythms rise to the fore. Disc two displays the more stripped-down, minimal sounds of Norken, Chris Brann, Pure Science and features the latest Hooj single release, the captivating Turquoise from Circulation amongst others.
