Released 15^th January 2007

It can be confidently said that Hed Kandi know their dancefloor. The current success of "Boogie 2Nite" by Booty Luv, which is destined for the top ten this week, is proof of that as if it were required.

With a staggering number of events around the world, their musical barometer is second to none. As the original and most trusted purveyors of sexy house music, they are the fresh-faced Queen of the scene. Continuing their dancefloor domination they bring ardent followers their latest house weapon with this devastatingly uplifting anthem "Every Word".

The track comes from the creative Swedish house hotpot of talent, this time from Tyken, a name taken from a Swedish West Coast slang phrase meaning cheeky. Hailing from the mythical-sounding Gothenburg the duo consist of London-based Carl Ryden ("Poker Pets", "Third Member" and "High Life") and one of Sweeden’s most prolific mixers Fredrick ‘DJ Nibc’ Nyberg, whose super club The Eye has put the city firmly on the techy-electro map, with guests such as, Moodyman, M.A.N.D.Y, Sebastian Ingrosso and Áme to name a few. Tyken are mainstay residents for respected SWE-label Trunkfunk Records, and a leading light in the Sweedish house movement.

Vocals are provided by the gorgeous and super talented soul/R&B singer Awa Manne, who has been in and out of studios since she was 13, both writing and recording. She has joined none other than Wyclef Jean on the mic, twice and performed on MTV’s The Lick. Here, she provides the effortlessly sublime vocal arrangement.

This package is a veritable feast of diversity offering something for everyone. Electro lovers will love the Axwell style Swedish house sound of the vocal club mix whilst the funky-aficionados should head straight for the Salthomen remix for the ultimate piano house hooks. Ben Macklin, who is currently setting dancflloors alight with his track "Together" on Free2Air, delivers a mix that is an altogether darker journey, bleeped and tweaked to placate the 5am hedonists.

Yet another anthem-in-the-making from the Kandi stable, "Every Word" has the key ingredients to kick start 2007’s dancefloor: energy, sex appeal, and a contagious vocal that will have you hanging on every word…
