So here we are five years down the road and we are celebrating Heideton’s anniversary on this planet. In that time Donald Trump has risen (and fallen), France have won a World Cup, the last white male rhinoceros died, the UK left the EU and little Heideton Records released a whole slew of certified club bangers.

To celebrate their five years on the planet, we have a trio of releases lined up. That’s three, as in a troika, trifecta, threesome, triumvirate, trilogy or even a hat-trick (or should that actually be a hat-track? Geddit?). Three releases, each containing three tracks. Three times three is nine. It’s a veritable prime number fiesta.

Release one, includes resident maestros Joe Metzenmacher and Borka (and, of course, his Gang) with a solo effort from Joe (the sub-bass boom of ‘Montano’), a joint effort between the two, remixed by Switzerland’s ace Luciano and Heideton newcomer, Claudio Ricci, the Austro-Chilean producer now based in Ibiza, whose track is an homage to ‘Catalonia’.
