Hell Yeah's debut Buena Onda compilation proved hugely successful. It also kept people drenched in exotic dance floor sounds while the pandemic has kept everyone apart. Now the Berlin-based party is back and on a mission to redefine what Balearic means with a first-ever vinyl-only sampler featuring exclusive, unreleased tunes and remixes compiled by Marco Gallerani and Gallo from brothers around the world.

The a-side is all about new kids on the block: Australian cyborg disco don Kayroy appeared on the label in 2020 with his Imaginary Expeditions EP and now links with his friend Jaspar Robinson, a dreamer with his head amongst the stars. He provides the vocals which speak of an astronaut lost in space and aching for a missing loved one while sombre chords and downbeat bass make for a beautifully longing groove. It's a blue-eyed Balearic classic. The up-and-coming Italian Feel Fly of labels like Internasjonal then goes widescreen with his 'Esperanto.' The chords shimmer, the baseline percolates and the guitar riffs arc up to the heavens for some late-night intergalactic bliss.

The flip side features more mature and established artists: label regular Max Essa offers a remix of The Vendetta Suite 'Neon Secrets,' which has naive Eastern melodies and rueful 80s chords with a subtle new age feel that dumps you right on the beach at sundown. Last of all come Chris Coco and Micko Roche with true-school Balearic classic complete with cicada-like shakers, mellifluous Spanish guitar licks, flutes and soft, frothy, rolling beats that break like waves on a sun-kissed Mediterranean coastline.

Balearic Beats 2021 Sampler 1 offers something for every hour of the day, making this a perfectly functional 12" for the modern Balearic DJ.

Romain Virgo - Caress Me | We Remember Dennis Brown

Download: smarturl.it/RVCaressMe

February 1st, marked the late reggae and lover's rock icon Dennis Brown's 59th birthday. Hailed by NPR Morning Edition as one of the 50 great voices of all time and by Bob Marley as one of the best reggae singers in the world - the revered Jamaican icon began his recording career at the tender age of 11 and has more than 75 albums to date. Even though he passed away at the early age of 42, his music and legacy lives on.

VP Records, reggae's leading distributor and label, will pay homage this spring with an extensive tribute album We Remember Dennis Brown of his timeless hits covered by some reggae and r&b's most renowned artists today. Each song was re-produced by Jamaican legend Clive Hunt with his all-star team of musicians to give each song an authentic yet fresh feel.

To celebrate the icon during his birthday month, VP Records will reveal one song from the album every Friday for the next five weeks - including "Caress Me Girl" on Feb 5 from one of Jamaica's brightest voices Romain Virgo, "Milk & Honey" on Feb 12 by roots reggae rockers Raging Fyah, "Bloody City" on Feb 19 from the Caribbean's soulful songstress Jah9, "Promised Land" on Feb 26 from Hawaiian reggae band The Green and "Have You Ever" on Mar 4 by R&B powerhouse Marsha Ambrosius.

In addition to these power hitters, We Remember Dennis Brown will feature an array of singers from Brown's native country and across the globe who he influenced. Jamaica's latest crop of stars (including Jah Cure, Gyptian, Chronixx and Jesse Royal) as well as the island's icons who worked with Brown (like reggae vocalists Bushman and Freddie McGregor) all offer their contributions. Freddie's son Chino McGregor and Christopher Ellis, the talented UK-based singer and offspring of Alton Ellis (another one of Brown's musical mentors and confidants), both deliver powerful renditions of Brown's classics. New Zealand rockers also create a breezy rendition of "If I Had The World." The worldly collection proves that his universal sound transcends all boundaries of time, race and creed. Each artist adds their own original flair to Brown's profound soul-stirring sound - touching the hearts of new and old fans alike on this unique multi-disc collection. We Remember Dennis Brown will include deluxe packaging as well as extensive liner notes on the belated legend.

DENNIS BROWN
Dennis Brown was greatly influenced by American balladeers such as Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin as well as Jamaican singers like Delroy Wilson and John Holt. At only 12-years-old, he cut his first hit "No Man Is An Island" at Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's famous Studio One. Within the years, he was a force to be reckoned with musically - dubbed the "Boy Wonder of Jamaica" and "Crown Prince of Reggae." Before he was 16, he had worked with Jamaica's top recording artists (Alton Ellis, Horace Andy) and producers of the time (Prince Buster, Dennis Alcapone, Winston "Niney" Holness and Vincent "Randy" Chin). In the 1970s, he worked closely with producer Joe Gibbs and released multiple albums. One of the album's songs "Money in my Pocket," peaked at #14 on UK Top 40 chart becoming one of the biggest international hits in Jamaica's history. This success landed him the cover of the NME's February 1979 issue. Enthusiastically adapting to the new dancehall era, Brown released a huge amount of work throughout the 1980s recording with genre's major producers like King Jammy on Brown's 1986 album The Exit and Gussie Clarke in 1989 with the Gregory Isaacs duet "Big All Round" and the album Unchallenged. He continued to record prolifically in the 1990s before his passing. His 1994 album Light My Fire and 2001 release Let Me Be the One were both nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.

VII – A barquinha de noé
Reggae-Dub Ijexá
Música do repertório tradicional dos Índios Pankararu rearranjada por DJ Tudo

Os Índios Pankararu são de origem Pernambucana, mas hoje estão espalhados por vários estados do Brasil. O canto que uso aqui foi gravado na Igreja de Santo Antonio, localizada no pequeno povoado do Brejo dos Padres, próximo à cidade pernambucana de Tacaratu. Vou com frequência a esse povoado, tanto para fazer registros quanto para visitar e conviver com as pessoas de lá. Esse tradição junina do “Valseado e roda sapateada” não é mais praticada pelos Pankararu, gravei como registro de repertório histórico e só depois que veio a idéia de criar alguma coisa a partir dele. A ideia dessa música surgiu durante uma jam session durante o festival Brasil NOAR em Barcelona, em novembro de 2008. Acompanhando o canto do Índios Pankararu, eu e Estevan improvisávamos um dub. Ao mesmo tempo, orientei Guga Santos e Sid3 a tocarem um Ijexá de Afoxé. A mistura improvável funcionou muito bem, e a partir disso surgiu esse arranjo. Organizando o arranjo final, surgiram melodias com influências “inconscientes” de John Coltrane e Pharoah Sanders nos arranjos de sopros, criando uma atmosfera de jazz espiritual do final dos anos 60.

Salvador de Bahia.
It’s the home of Afro-Brazilian culture and pride. From the vibrating streets of Pelourinho to the traditional Mercado Modelo Market and beyond, Bahia is full of food, art, and music that can be discovered or rediscovered. It’s also a great place to dig for records!

The musical traditions and heritage is deeply intertwined with Africa and the Orixás – the Afro-Brazilian spirits and deities brought to Brazil by the slaves – and almost all artists on this mixtape call out these spirits and deities – with the most popular being Iemanjá (Fertility) and Xangô (Justice). The Orixás are the centre of religions called Umbanda (South) and Candomblé (North), African diasporic religions shared with many other Caribbean and Latin American countries. But nowhere are these religions as strong, organised or acknowledged as they are in Brazil.

And so in this continuous journey to expose the strong connection between Brazil and Africa through the music of the past, this second Afro Brazil Orixá Mix mixtape is dedicated to Salvador and the Brazilian state of Bahia.
