    Slumber Sessions: The Hics

    The Hics are a duo that bring a jazzy edge to a minimal sound, with their battle of the sexes harmonising they've gained a place in our hearts if not our future playlists.

    “Everyone in the band decided to pick a tune each, and then a few of us picked extras. As we are six individual musicians and producers, there’s a massively eclectic taste in music – so we wanted to reflect that in the playlist. We hope you enjoy it.”

    Tracklist:
    Eric Lau x Rahel –I’m Fine 
    “This is a straight-up chiller, with beautiful relaxed vocals, and a lazy hazy beat. It’s perfect for those late summer nights.” Geordan.

    Quantic – Time Is The Enemy
    “I chose this track as it’s a regular on my iPod, and reminds me a little of Cut Chemist and Bonobo…” Sam

    Ta-Ku – Colour Her Sunshine
    “I love the groove of the track. Whenever I listen to Ta-Ku, I can’t help but bop my head.” Matt

    Bilal – White Turns To Grey
    “This is perfectly smooth soul: love the bass…” David

    Chris Dave And The Drumhedz – Walk On (Feat. Aaron Camper)
    “This has amazing emotion, production and composition. It’s very clever, the way each section has a push and pull affect, tensing and releasing into the next section.” Jacob

    Blondie x Souls of Mischief – Heart of Glass (93′ Til Infinity Remix)
    “I chose this as it’s a wicked chilled rework of a classic.” Roxane

    Chris James (Feat. Ria Moran) – Song for Her (Audiojack’s Dub For Rah) 
    “I had this on repeat for about a month, and the vocalist is a good friend of mine: her breathy vocals just sit perfectly on top of the skittering rhythms and ambient chords.” Geordan

    William Arcane – Departed
    “I really like William Arcane’s voice, and this is a really simple track that just sounds good.” Matt

    Kendrick Lamar (Feat. Dr Dre) – The Recipe
    “This is one of my favourite tracks produced by Dre. A real head-nodder.” Roxane

    Mala – Changes (James Blake Harmonix Remix)
    “The original of this track is wicked, but James just adds those extra elements to make it a banger.” Sam

    James Blake – I Am Sold
    “I chose I am Sold because I love the emotion in his voice in this song, and secondly I find the tension in the music very moving. ” Jacob
