Amy Douglas should need no introduction, having supplied song-writing and vocal duties for Horse Meat Disco, Roisin Murphy, Luke Soloman and Soul Clap.

Here she teams up with Craig Bratley who dusts off the analogue synths to produce something which clearly wears its influence on its sleeve, taking in elements of Balearic, Street Soul and early Sheffield Bleep.

On the Ashigaru Dub, Craig explores these influences further, the result reminiscent of Mad Professors take on Massive Attack.

Forthcoming with another release is one of Fantastic Voyage’s founding members, Danny Goliger. In early 2021 the music producer, audio engineer, and instrumentalist will present his debut album, “Meaningful Pursuits” on the label. The forthcoming IDM full-length consists of 11 tracks and represents his personal growth as an artist and individual.

Goliger has captured some personal trauma and placed it into melodies, chords, and synths. These melancholy sounds are reflective of his healing from these wounds. When speaking about recording the album at that time in his life, Danny describes feeling like a broken computer simulation – glitchy and fragmented, which comes full circle as you listen to the record. His long-time musical collaborator, Benny Bridges, created generative visualizers for each track that also help convey this notion.

Deeply passionate about electronic music hardware, Goliger recorded this album at his studio in Echo Park using his analog synths, drum machines, and hardware samplers. Featuring a heady blend of experimental IDM/Electronica, the album pays homage to his musical heroes including Aphex Twin, Autechre, Floating Points, Skee Mask and Proem to name a few. His penchant for audio engineering is on display, with this glitchy record showcasing a technical precision that blends seamlessly with his strong musical compositions.

Although this is the first solo LP for the Los Angeles producer, Danny is a prolific collaborator, producing and engineering on many diverse projects that span numerous genres. As a seasoned musician with many years under his belt, he can also be seen playing keys and drums in the Fantastic Voyage band and music-directing for Mija’s live shows.

The long awaited debut release from Melbourne based producer / personality Mousse is here! Until now, Mousse aka Simon Barry has kept his craft close to his chest and we finally hear the result of years of hard studio labour in the bungalow. Barry has been a crucial part of Melbourne's dance community for the past five or so years, co-hosting the legendary disco party 'Misty Nights' with Danny Hotep as well being a fixture at The House De Frost and Animals Dancing parties.

On the A side we have the anthemic 'Sex and Acid' and 'Big Fat Party Popper' two raw house tracks with links to early Chicago classics. Quirky sound effects and catchy vocals simmer on top of hot acid bassline to give you a couple of the summers most memorable bangers! But don't be fooled, Mousse is no one-trick-pony. On the flip we step out of the bungalow and into 'Afternoon Bloom' where jazzy pianos dance around a playful machine rhythm. Rounding out the four tracker 'Bare With Me' delivers an evolving house jam with a conversive synth line and dubbed out chords.

A killer debut release from one of Melbournes rising stars.

Gigi Flag -  Nymphomaniac (Instr.)

My Friend Dario and Hell Yeah label boss Marco Gallerani continue to develop their renewed friendship with another magical coming together. Many years after they used to make music together, they are now older, wiser, and frankly, better at what they do. And so it is here with Dario continuing to explore his unique electronics, all inspired by the Sicilian breeze. 
Dario is very involved with Catania's underground music scene: he has soaked it up and helped to shape it for many years and always with a warm Mediterranean current gently flowing through his work. His last EP, Calamari Fritti in late 2018, was a real gem, and this new one follows up in style. 
Opener “Prime Luci” is for early evening drinks on a coastal terrace as the water glistens and sun turns red, while “Domenica” is for early evening swaying, with deep disco drums and Casio chords enriching your soul. “Danoy” is a cosmic trip with melodic droplets and shimmering lead synths that melts you over and over again, and “Nonna” is an ambient excursion with a suggestion of menace in the creeping bass synths that keep you on edge. Closer "Monti Rossi Sunday Vibes" ends with slow and lumpy drums awash with wispy pads and cosmic suggestions. 
You might not have been to Sicily before, but after listening to this EP you sure will feel like you have.

PREMIERE #561 | My Friend Dario - Monti Rossi Sunday Vibes [Hell Yeah] 2019

Selective plenty of sophisticated grooves by marvelous @djruta

Ruta ~ Complimentary Tunes

My Friend Dario is back on Hell Yeah with an EP of Balearic bliss and bangers that comes before a vinyl EP on NuNorthern Soul later in the year, and a debut full length on this label in Spring 2021. Dario has a mature sound infused with world music and has released a number of EPs on this label before, He has remixed Calm here and also featured on the Buena Onda - Balearic Beats compilation.

He opens up here with lush Mediterranean vibes on 'Montalbano,' which pops and bubbles with trippy synths and bendy bass.

Next is 'In Gola' is Dario's most straight up dance floor oriented tracks... a balearic banger with a rasping bassline and crisp claps that make you move.

Last of all, 'Salamon's Son,' a soothing late night slow dance that brims with soul and is a firm favourite of the Buena Onda parties that will keep Catania's ever growing Dario fan base very happy in the run up to his debut album.'

My Friend Dario - In Gola

Hell Yeah call upon their merry crew of grown up groove makers to revisit key tracks from Quiroga's widely acclaimed Passages album, with Whodamanny, Jazz N Palms, A Vision of Panorama and My Friend Dario all stepping up.

Man of the moment Jazz N Palms, a resident at the cult Ibiza venue Pikes and regular at London's Ronnie Scotts,  has recently started his own self titled label and here offers a mad Latin jazz take on 'Africa Addio' that brims with energy and sunshines. The busy percussion will make you move your ass and the whole thing has a sexy 70s vibe.

Juno Review - 

A few years ago, Tito Velcro, Elena Hikari and Rare Wiri founder Rayko joined forces in the studio and produced a handful of decidedly Balearic tracks. Now, having sat on Rayko's hard drive for "a few years", they're finally getting a deserved release courtesy of Citizens of Vice. 

"You're Not Alone" is suitably special, with swirling and evocative vocals from Hikari rising above lazy, laidback guitar riffs, dreamy chords, bubbly beats and soft-touch synth sounds, while 'Unforgettable' is a chugging, slow-motion treat that wraps sparkling synth lines and echoing guitars around echoing beats and low-slung bass. 

Rayko provides a slightly more club-friendly nu-disco take on 'You're Not Alone', while Ilya Santana re-imagines the same track as a sparse, sunrise-ready chunk of Balearic electrofunk.

You are not alone.
