South Yorks volume one mixtape by Kid acne
Another Sheffield compilation you should hear
This blog previously promoted the excellent Noise heat power Destroyed by gods compilation, which aims to give an insight into the ‘freakish science behind the Sheffield sound’.
Well another hand-picked selection of tracks has now come along, this time curated by Sheffield street artist Kid acne:
Kid Acne has been organising quarterly parties in Sheffield with a local theme and rigorously enforced music policy: all tracks must originate, or have a very strong connection with South Yorkshire. Now you can download a piece of the action.
The collection is an eclectic mix, and includes more well-known local artists (Joe Cocker, I monster, Human league, Fat truckers, Pink grease, Jarvis Cocker and ABC) alongside some which you may not immediately associate with this neck of the woods.
