R. Kitt - But I Prefer It

With the success of The Vendetta Suite’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Kempe Stone Portal’ -  Hell Yeah Recordings proudly present the remixes, featuring long-time friends and collaborators David Holmes and Timmy Stewart.

Cinematic, captivating and flirtatious; David Holmes catapults listeners into a feeling of pure euphoria with his take on ‘Purple Haze, Yellow Sunrise’. It’s a journey through a plethora of sounds and moods encapsulating the voyage both David and Gary have made throughout almost three decades of friendship. The track begins with ambient tones and psychedelic electronics, before impeccable drum programming and shimmering synth work combine to create an otherworldly listening experience.

Purple Haze, Yellow Sunrise (David Holmes Remix)

Some words from Shoko about the track : 

"I wrote this song during the confinement of the corona virus. It was a really strange, empty, mournful year for everyone. However, I developed a greater appreciation for the life indoor as well as a love for the place I live in Brussels. I realize how blessed and lucky I am to have a place to live when a lot of people suffers and don’t even have a roof over their heads. I wanted to express this feeling of safety and comfort in the song. 
The beauty of a ray of sun passing through the window, the gratitude to have a warm blanket, watching the clouds slowly moving, the birds landing on the roof, the quiet street outside, the gradual passing of the season. I started to notice the small things in greater details. Some things very small but really precious and lovely. I realized how much I love watering plants, drinking tea, making tracks and eating “senbei” (Japanese snacks), adopting a kitty, reading books and learning new things. These were precious moments in my life that I’ll always cherish."

MSTRBLSTR - DNA

The ocean was quiet, there was little which disturbed the surface of the vast expanse of water but for the occasional raindrop which fell from the grey, overcast sky up above.

The mid afternoon sun had long since vanished, hidden behind a cloak of clouds as the last stragglers left the beach for the day to return to the haven of their apartments before the storm rolled in.

Soon there would be waves, grand ones and wild ones at that. They would batter the shore and the town would soon be awash with sand and grit, the only reminder that the beach had ever even been there at all.

That was life in paradise...

Forgotten Frequencies are remixed by infamous Glasgow party starters We Should Hang out More on the newly launched label In The Event of Capture.

Their remix is perhaps more understated and sombre than we might stereotypically expect but that is what makes it all the more special. This one is a treat...

Fresh off the back of a debut Boiler Room performance at the world renowned AVA Festival, releases on Extended Play, Nocturne & Rudimentary Records and captivating live set performances at Celtronic, Derry’s very own Cartin delivers a two track EP spanning lairy UK electro-breaks and glitch-driven techno that shines a deserved spotlight on exactly why the emerald isle is so excited about him.

Today we premiere ‘Endz’ - an in-your-face bass heavy banger that blends grimey vocal samples and gun-finger energy  in a mutation of electro, breakbeat, grime and punk - a wonderful example of Cartin’s ability to seamlessly blend genre, yet remain so distinctive.

Melbourne-based artist Interface Palm presents “Curated Space” on Broken District, his first mini-LP, with 6 tracks skirting the line between broken beat, house, cosmic jazz and hip-hop, including collaboration with fellow Melbourne producer and bass player Horatio Luna.Interface Palm is the project from Australian artist Jordan Hankins. Having established himself as a producer and DJ in Brisbane, he journeyed south seeking a change of scene. A right move for him, as relocating to Melbourne led him signing an EP with local label +Romantics, quickly followed with another release on Beats Of No Nation.

Jordan opens the release with 3 tracks mixed together and served as one continuous production. First track is “Check In”, a cosmic, multi-layered jazz-infused piece, serving as an introduction for the whole release, but also paving the way to the first single of the record: “Readymade”.

More than a track, this is a true journey breaking barriers between styles, mixing elements of disco, G-funk, jazz and broken beat. Kicking-off slowly with a moody piano, Jordan then brings-in a catchy bassline, blending it with uplifting keys and strong broken beat elements, turning it into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

That moment when you were in the cinema,the lights went out and the screen went dark.... An 
angelic voice slowly penetrates you inside. Romantic,melancholic melodies of inspiration full of 
feeling strings fill the spaces and become important,often with the presence of a repetitive piano..... 
a journey full of atmosphere and changes accompanied by a heavenly voice ... angelic.
