All New Releases V.2

Hint is back with "Driven From Distraction" - his first full album on Tru Thoughts. This killer mix of instrumental and vocal tracks sees Hint exploring the eclectic styles of music that have
excited and inspired him over the years - from hip hop to electronica, fiery soul to straight up dancefloor bombs - whilst pushing boundaries for a new, unique sound. Stunning guest vocals are provided by long-time collaborator Laura Vane; the prodigious teenaged MC Rizzle; and Tru Thoughts and Zebra Traffic label-mates Kinny and Rup. Hint has been rocking dancefloors and releasing music of a stunning quality for the best part of the 21st century (notably, Hint was invited to record a Peel Session at Maida Vale in 2002) and this new long player is set to bring his unique and accomplished skills as a producer and composer into the limelight once and for all. He released his debut album, the cheeky and chilled "Portakabin Fever" on Ninja Tune in 2003 and has since released a handful of EPs on Tru Thoughts, which have attracted excellent reviews and acclaim from the likes of Laurent Garnier and DJ Andy Smith (Portishead) and
many other DJs and tastemakers worldwide. The "Driven From Distraction" album provides a first and long-anticipated CD release for some of the biggest and most sought-after cuts off those 12s such as "I, Silverfish" (with Rups masterful stream-of-consciousness MC?ing), "The Tremmuh" and "At The Dance" - along with a host of amazing new tracks.
