We have a exclusive 30 minute mix recorded just for SWU by Hackman this month. Were well hyped to get this mix series started of with such a sick producer!

MTD originally played this on SWU Radio on his last show, but you can grab it right here by its self.

Like the best of funky, it seems to zig zag between polar opposites rather than choosing one extreme to pursue. Hackman's sound is characterised by warm analog sub bass and asymmetric percussion layered over a 4x4 base. But there?s an abundance of interesting groove and warm bass in the 130ish/funky spectrum: what makes Hackman's sound stand out from the crowd is a great propensity for saccharine sweet melodies that contrast with the dark sub and scattered drums. These melodies seem to echo MJ Cole's turn of the millennium 2step productions, with lush touches despite a tuff club exoskeleton

At the start of the year he was featured in fact magazines 10 producers to watch in 2010, since then he's had a release on the brilliant fabric elevators mix cd with pistol in your pocket, along side artists including Martyn, Julio Bashmore, Caspa and Rusko, Starkey and Untold.

He has 3 more releases in the pipeline coming on well Rounded, Shifting Peaks and PTN (RAMP) His tunes have been getting massive support from Dusk and Blackdown, Giles Peterson, Geiom, Brackles to name a few!
