<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/hydrozoa.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" />As part of our 5th birthday celebrations, we’ve been looking back at the history of Hidden Shoal, casting some light on artists and releases that may have been overlooked. This week is the final post, bringing us bang up to date. For one week, a selection of releases covered below will be available from the <a href="http://agora.hiddenshoal.com">Hidden Shoal Store</a> with a 20% discount. Flavoursome!

Back at the start of 2010 we released volume 5 in our free download compilation album series, <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=12&amp;products_id=127" target="_blank"><em>Crushed and Reminded</em></a>, rounding up a selection of tracks from HSR releases in 2009. Over the course of 2010 and the first half of 2011, new releases by My Majestic Star, Stray Ghost, Iretsu, Rich Bennett, Slow Dancing Society, Jumpel, Hotels and Toby Richardson were joined by Hidden Shoal newcomers Boxharp (Scott Solter and Wendy Allen), Markus Mehr, Salli Lunn, Liam Singer, Antonymes and Umpire. And in May 2011, Hotels got through the final of the Billboard Battle of the Bands!

<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=12&amp;products_id=169" target="_blank"><em>Hydrozoa</em></a>, volume 6 in our free download series, has recently been released to celebrate our 5th birthday. And we're only halfway through 2011 - the second half of the year promises new albums from Wes Willenbring, a Salli Lunn remix album, a City of Satellites remix album plus some exciting new signings. Stay tuned!
