Xfm’s James Hyman In Recovery

Xfm's very own King of Beats
James Hyman is set to release a compilation album of
little-known, unexpected, bizarre and frequently inspired cover
versions, catchily entitled 'Covered'.

The album is due out on June 16 and is
available as 20 track CD and a 12-track double vinyl package split
into Electro, Lounge, Indie and Rock sections on the
Obsessive label (appropriately enough).

Culled from Hyman’s own collection of
nearly 300,000 albums, the compilation includes numerous unreleased
tracks, rarities, B-sides and exclusive versions of some classic
tunes.

Amongst the highlights are Tiga's
version of Nelly’s 'Hot In Here', Mirwais' take
on the Rolling Stones' 'Miss You' and Flunk's
loungecore cover of New Order 'Blue
Monday'.

Elsewhere, Roots Manuva,
Squarepusher and The Droyds put in appearances not to
mention Lenny Costanza & The Les Battersby Cubano
Orchestra’s legendary reworking of Kylie’s classic
'Can't Get You Out Of My Bed'.
