Taking the helm this November at Fortified will be undoubtedly one of the hottest labels around right now: Hessle Audio. Since the labels inception back in 2007 Hessle has been a Fortified favourite, with classics like TRG's "Put You Down", Untold's "Kingdom" and Panagea's "Coiled" all recieving heavy rotation here. Taking over the controls for the evening will be 3 of the labels head honcho's plus one of it's heaviest hitters: Ramandanman, Ben UFO, Panagea and Untold. Ramadanman should need no introduction to frequent customers of Fortified. Spearheading the hybrid dancefloor sound, he operates where Dubstep, Garage and Funky meet and splicing in Techno and House influences along the way. His "Carla" and "Core"12''s for Soul Jazz and the recent "Humber" for Apple Pips are two perfect examples of Ramadanman's influential sound and his Pearson Sound alias has been shaking asses international with the groove-laden "PLSN/WAD" EP. Untold and Pangaea seem to be at the top of alot of lists at the moment. They both appeared last year on the highly acclaimed Round Black Ghosts compilation on Pole's ~scape label, while Untold's recent Moderat remix has been ripping up dancefloors worldwide, not to mention his appearance at the Moderat afterparty in the Sub Club where he tore the roof off.His latest ep on his magnificent Hemlock imprint has just been awarded the lauded single of the week status on boomkat, and is set to be a staple of forward thinking dancefloors everywhere. Pangaea has also been making big waves of late with his already classic sophomore cut "You & I" and the more recent "Memories", featuring the melted UKG hybrid and swanky production we've come to expect from him. Last but by absoloutely no means least is long time eliminators supporter Ben UFO. Ben has been introducing new sounds of the UK underground and beyond via his Thursday night Ruffage show on SubFM which is for our money the only must check show on the net. Widely regarded as one of the finest DJ's operating in dance music right now along side oneman and brackles, Bens appearance at Fortified has now been gestating for 3 years, so its long overdue! As usual B.A.S.S supply the heavy sonic pressure.
