Miles Showell’s hakf speed-cut Djabe albums have been hugely successful at HiFi shows and are among the audiophile community’s favourite records. Their 2023 album Art In Tone was recorded at the Artone studio in the Netherlands using only analogue techniques, cutting directly from the output of the sound mixer to disc and recorded to tape.
