  • Berlin-based artist Kevin McHugh, AKA Ambivalent, will release a mix CD called _ground next month on Minus12, a new sub-label of Minus. McHugh is a latter day staple of Richie Hawtin's label: he's appeared on it exclusively since 2007, with the exception of one EP on its long-running sister label, Plus 8 Recordings. On _ground, his first mix CD, he highlights 13 producers he's particularly fond of, from never-released artists like Casah to Camea of Clink Recordings and Analog Solutions boss Eduardo De La Calle. "In English we have an expression 'to keep your ear to the ground,' which means to stay aware of what's happening, and what's coming next," he explains. "All of these artists are producers whose music I've been following and playing the past few years. I feel like this is a statement of the musical terrain at the moment." All of the songs on the mix are previously unreleased. They will be available separately through Minus12. Tracklist 01. Casah - Lost in Shape 02. Alexx Wolfe - Why Would I 03.
