Since then, Hessle Audio have been featured regularly in major dance music publications,[6][7] as well as touring across the world.[8] On their 15th anniversary in 2022 a cover feature in Crack magazine stated: "pound for pound, Hessle Audio are surely the most influential British club label of their generation".[9]

Kennedy released his debut self-titled album in 2015 on Hessle Audio.[10] The album was well received critically and scored 8.1 from the website Pitchfork.[11] His single "XLB" was voted as the second best track of 2016 by Resident Advisor.[12]
