Hed Kandi is one of the biggest house music instutions in the UK, involving a big history. Especially, the Hed Kandi/Tokyo Project split contains a lot of info.

[edit] It's very commercial.
Hed Kandi doesn't maintain any particular exclusivity anymore though. Hopefully Mark Doyle's Tokyo Project will fare better.
Tokyo Project crashed and burned to to legal action and some financial backing that never materialised.
Luckily a great relatioshhip with AATW has allowed us to servive.
Fierce Angel Is now 6 releases old !!!
[edit] It's sad.
There's no compairson between the old layout and the new one. Jason Brooks covers were far better. Plus, due to the reasons of the departure of M.D. and friends, I decided to break with HK and follow the true spirit of HK...
Well check out the new albums and let me knw what you think....
It's very sad when a family falls apart...But I know I have to be happy to do what I do. And I was becoming less and less interested in the businees and wanted to do it myself
Thats why we have Fierce Angle. I'm not saying we'll get it right all the time but we'll have a bloody good try
[edit] Name meaning
It would be very interesting to know where the name, Hed Kandi, comes from and what it means. Does Kandi relate to candy? If so, what is Hed? To me it sounds Dutch in a way... Anyone knows something? I wasn't able to find anything online.
-> I'm sure it's Dutch but I don't know the meaning. Think's something like Candies...
Here you go from the horses mouth....
When I originally came up with the nane it was going to be a club night ....
But the label came to life and I thought - it looks good (eye candy) it sounds good (ear candy) it might even taste good...
Most of your senses are located in your hed !!! Therefore overall it's Hed Kandi
Slightly cooler spelling and voila one global brand
