This recording is comprised of 41 contact mic recordings of Hukins Hops 1950's Bruff hop picking machinery processing the 2025 hop harvest. The recordings took place on the 9th of September 2025 on site at Hukins Hops in St Michaels, Tenterden, Kent.

From hooking the bines, threshing and picking hops, separating cones from leaf matter, to conveying to the oast and packing into bales, nearly all parts of the factory processes of picking and separating hops have been captured.

The equipment used was comprised of two Metal Marshmallow Roaster plus Morsel contact mics, blu tac for adhesion to various surfaces on the machinery, with the recording taking place on a SoundDevices MixPre 3 II.

Editing has been performed for balance, employing M/S EQ (reducing side bass, boosting mid bass, and sometimes boosting side highs too), stereo mix adjustment (as all recordings started out as dual mono L + R), and loudness adjustment to BS1770.
