Stepping nearly the end of the year, Summer Melody welcomes back the talented Switzerland-based TheJohnsArts on the label with another 2-track EP Where Life Takes Us!

TheJohnsArts debuts in October 2023 with Magnolia, since then he continues his journey on labels such as Emergent Shores, Spring Tube and Soluna Music. Now wrapping the year with this wonderful EP, as both the title track and Bokuba shares the same signature sound and style of this artist. Leading with the pluck synths, organic instruments and atmospheric elements, Where Life Takes Us directs our sense towards the nature. Bokuba blends melodic progressive sounds with afro-inspired sounds, pairs with the heavy bassline and upbeat chord synths, rounding off the release as a double A-side worthy EP.

We hope you enjoy the wonderful return of TheJohnsArts with the 2-track EP Where Life Takes Us!

TheJohnsArts - Where Life Takes Us [SMLD257]

Swedish DJ, producer and songwriter Johan Blende debuts on Hell Yeah with a journey to the heart of a grown-up dancefloor in the Med.

Blende is a master of mixing up retro 70s and 80s sound into modern dancefloor delights. He's been doing it for two decades on a wide range of cultured labels from Studio Barnhus to Eskimo, always with a rare charm and leftfield perceptive. With this EP, he taps into the magic of hazy afternoons turning into euphoric evenings by the sea.

'Off To Mallorca' jangles with taught bass notes and sunburnt vocals. Distant synths glow, the jumbled percussion injects just the right dose of ass-wiggling funk and this playful yet sophisticated cut builds toward a blissful rapture. 'Television' ups the ante with prickly acid panning about the mix over sleazy, low-slung drums. Tension simmers as edgy synth motifs stalk the groove and anticipation builds before the whole thing explodes into a cosmic disco payoff. It's raw, unpredictable, and perfect for when things start to get a little weird.

'Como No Brasil' gazes skyward and basks in a wash of shimmering melodies and breezy, wordless vocals that drift like clouds over layered, sun-drenched rhythms. It’s a dreamy, tropical float until a surprise acid storm rolls in and moves things from tranquil paradise to dancefloor hypnosis. Finally, 'Carousel Bagatelle' is a layered, late-night trip that feels both playful and introspective. Hypnotic synths swirl around screwy acid lines and supple, dubbed-out house drums that spin you into a daze.

Blende’s debut on Hell Yeah lands like a postcard from a perfect party - sun-dazed, acid-kissed and endlessly replayable.

FADE TO GREY - REMIX REC-2025-12-06

The wheels kept turning as the smell of rubber hung thick in the air. Inside the velodrome the riders whizzed in circles, ever closer to the finish line yet caught within the infinite loop. He had been cycling since 1994 and yet the echo of this space still game him the same caustic shivers as the first time he'd entered. The bright fluorescent lights lit up the shiny wooden stretch with a magical glow and the sound of cheers were the only motivation helping to drive him home. He kept pedalling, kept looping, round and round. 

Marlon Hoffstadt is a firm favourite here at Ransom Note, he recently launched his new label titled Midnight Themes and this track features on the first EP.
