Red hot Italian DJ and production collective Aura Safari is back with a second full-length album, Island Dreams. It lands on Hell Yeah Recordings on September 15th and is another live and sun-kissed odyssey through balmy Mediterranean evenings, gorgeous sundown sessions and funky analogue grooves.  

Andrea Moretti, Lorenzo Lavoratori, Daniele Melloni, Nicholas Iammatteo, Lorenzo Francioli, Ruggero Bonucci and Nicola Pitassio are Aura Safari, and between them, they play drums, percussion, bass, keys, and guitar. They contributed to the first volume of the Buena Onda compilation in 2020 on this label, a year after serving up a debut album on London's Church Records. Since then they have become ever more entrenched in their local scene in Perugia. They are skilled musicians and instrumentalists with an effortlessly charming sound inspired by having grown up attending the Umbria Jazz Festival and spending winters keeping warm at the legendary Red Zone Club, while these days and host their own Tropical Climax parties each month in the town centre.

Aura Safari are also deep-digging music collectors who have extensive and far-reaching tastes. When cooking up their sounds they draw on everything from Afro to Italo, house to disco, 80s boogie to world music, jazz and Balearic beats. This new album shows that once more across four sides of vinyl that sweep you up and transport you to somewhere idyllic.

The title track kicks off with steamy Mediterranean grooves embellished with lush Rhodes chords and sprinkles of cosmic magic. 'Sur Mon Balconnet' then slips into dubbed-out disco territory with 80s synths and leggy drums while 'Riserva Naturale' is a new-age jazz house sound with majestic lead synths and heart-melting chords that speak of a sunset dance on the beach. 'Onda' has squelchy boogie bass with hip-swinging drums, 'Wave Riding' is a lo-fi funk excursion with hints of West Coast Californian swagger and 'Magic Malbe' is loose-limbed Balearica with clear blue skies and blissed-out chords.

'Dancing in the Moonlight' featuring legendary Zeke Manyika has all the vibrant feelings of bubblegum pop with Afro vocals and steel drum sounds next to rich xylophone sounds. There is plenty of heat and exotic charm to the proto-Afro house of 'Tropical Climax' and as well as dub versions of 'Sur Mon Balconnet' and 'Dancing in the Moonlight' come the scuffed-up Dam-Funk style beats and boogie of 'Disco Mantra' before closer 'Patagonia' shuts down with elastic drums and bass and playful synth leads that send you home wanting more.

Island Dreams is a tropical escape to a rich world of fusion sounds that look back to go forwards. It's a feel-good record to accompany hot nights and lazy afternoons, cocktails at dusk and dancing till dawn.

Aura Safari - Wave Riding

tony orlando - don't let go (chris luck edit)

(Verse 1)
Sous le soleil des ruelles anciennes,
Les voix s’entrelacent comme des prières,
Je courais pieds nus sur la poussière dorée,
Le parfum du jasmin guidait mes secrets.

 (Chorus)
Ô Liban de mon enfance,
Écho tendre, douce danse,
Tes couleurs brillent dans ma mémoire,
Même brûlées par le soir.

 (Verse 2)
Rires d’école, fenêtres ouvertes,
Les rivières chantaient aux collines désertes,
Mon père parlait de liberté,
Ma mère lisait des vers cachés.

 (Chorus)
Ô Liban de mon enfance,
Écho tendre, douce danse,
Tes couleurs brillent dans ma mémoire,
Même brûlées par le soir.

Verse 1
Under the sun of the old streets,
Voices intertwined like prayers,
I ran barefoot on golden dust,
The scent of jasmine guided my secrets.

Chorus
Oh Lebanon of my childhood,
Tender echo, gentle dance,
Your colors shine in my memory,
Even when burned by the night.

Verse 2
Schoolyard laughter, open windows,
Rivers sang to the empty hills,
My father spoke of liberty,
My mother read hidden verses.

Chorus
Oh Lebanon of my childhood,
Tender echo, gentle dance,
Your colors shine in my memory,
Even when burned by the night.

PREMIERE: Igor Gonya - Cotton Candy Knockout [Free Download]

Who doesn’t love free stuff, especially when it’s the first official free download release from Sundries & Lisztomania head honcho Igor Gonya. So, if you like your disco house cuts funky and fresh with plenty of soul, you’ve come to the right place!
In at the top spot is the eponymous Kitchen Ninja, a beautiful slice of funk laced with exquisite horns and captivating electric piano riffs throughout. With a beat that screams “get up and dance!” Kitchen Ninja is the perfect opener to this unique EP.
Up next is Cotton Candy Knockout, a floating, soulful disco house jam with a groove that starts as it means to go on. Infused with luscious strings and a catchy bass line from the onset, this is a must have for any DJ with a penchant for memorable disco re-edits!
The interestingly named Smiling Sturgeon is the third track on the EP, with a pulsating beat, groovy bass line and saucy organ riff marking the signature sound of this infectious, funk laden floor filler. Topped off with a laid-back EP riff, this tune is a big fish!
Lastly, with a funky disco groove straight out of Studio 54, the EP is rounded off with the magnificent Swinging Hammock. A succulent vocal hook, iconic disco synth refrains, an irresistible beat and a bass line to match, Swinging Hammock is the perfect jam to round off the Kitchen Ninja EP, so grab yourself a copy today!

Release Date Worldwide: 01/06/2020
