TDR mix of the week: Andy Votel

Andy Votel is the kind of character that is spoken about in hushed tones by record collectors, producers and the music literati. He started off like many beat denizens in the 90’s who shared a love of hip-hop but quickly became more interested as to the source of the samples that were being used by these producers. He cut his teeth in the production circles of Manchester, djing, and making beats that caught the notice of many his contemporaries.
