about

Released on High Noon early 2011.

Having read somewhere that Detroit soul legend Amp Fiddler was up for working on beats he "was feeling", four or five fresh instrumentals were soon winging their way across the Atlantic for his consideration. Several discussions via Skype followed and in quick order, after some inspired writing, three completed songs, 'Stylin' Free', 'Time' and 'Moodswing', arrived in Hundred Strong's inbox. Having taught the producers producer J Dilla to use the MPC, it was a real highlight to have someone as gifted as Amp lay down some vocals for the LP.

Later in the year Hundred Strong also hooked up with MC Serocee who has been blazing a trail with Roots Manuva and Toddla T. A quick discussion backstage at Glastonbury led to the talented London based MC laying down the 2 tracks 'Odeon' and 'Talkin Not Listenin'. Recorded in a small studio in Croydon there was a real feeling of cross cultural collaboration between the bass heavy Bristol sound and edgy South london attitude.

On a more soulful side Hundred Strong had always admired the rich soul vocals of Sheffield songsmith Pete Simpson. Having met at Hundred Strong's resident club Native, a beat was procured which sounded like it was meant for Simpson. Again in short order the finished and highly emotional track 'You Make Me Feel' was forthcoming. It was through Pete that Hundred Strong also hooked up with Holly Backler. The Australian singer had worked with Pete in the past, and when he forwarded a duet over a Hundred Strong instrumental it seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a couple of other beats over for Backlers consideration. The tracks 'Make You See The Light' and 'One Thing' were chosen which add a slightly more vulnerable air to the completed album.

Finally, long time collaborators J Todd ('How Good It Is' and 'Find A Way') and J Malik ('Gravestone') were brought in to complete the line up of tracks. It is the love of soulful beats and music in general that ties all the collaborators to a common theme and completes what is essentially the sound of Hundred Strong.
