For their tenth birthday, Berlin label Highgrade Records gave themselves an amazing gift: With the compilation “Group of Connected Heads” they presented a kind of family meeting – a gift that now continues into its second round. “The Group of Heads Connected Vol 2” once again taps into the extensive and diverse network of the Highgrade family and combines a variety of artists and styles into a coherent whole.

So within the 12 tracks in the second edition we find Highgrade residents like Tom Clark, Todd Bodine, Jens Bond and Daniel Dreier, old hands such as Markus Homm, Mihai Popoviciu and Ludwig Coenen. And the newcomers including Andri, Dachshund, Cab Drivers, Phono and Kemi and Julie Marghilano are also represented.

The result is a cohesive and harmonious album; A glimpse into the innovative Highgrade universe. The common thread of all the artists is their originality: Everyone brings their own voice, their own unmistakable style.

And so, a record is created that presents thoughtful sound images followed moments later by funky rhythms that burst from the speakers, and finally returning to the deep down and dirty. The “Group of Connected Heads “ is however, more than just a compilation series.

For here are not only various artists and their works, but the label is also creating a connection between art and craft – the artwork, which resembles a family tree of the various creative minds, is again presented by the artist Malte Hagen Olbertz. Another creative symbiosis and lasting relationship of like minds.

And there’s still more: the “Group of Connected Heads” is going on tour! More information available soon from Highgrade.
