Kauf - Relocate (Psychemagik Remix ft Henrietta Tiefenthaler) 96kbps


As ever with the Hell Yeah crew, there is an interesting back-story to the label’s next release, the ambitiously titled Coast to Coast EP. Firstly, the title refers to the fact that Justin VanDerVolgen hails from the east and Doc Martin the west coast of America, but that’s not all…

The label boss first heard Alexander Robotnick’s Undicidisco*track in a set by Golf Channel associate *Justin Vandervolgen. He went to ask what it was and turns out the track had only been released digitally. Keen to give it the full release it deserved on wax, he fully licensed it and got a remix from the man who first played it, as presented here. So far it’s done well, with Running Back boss Gerd Janson playing it recently at P-Bar – of, course it went down a storm... and Beats In Space's Tim Sweeney shouting "This is the Jam"... wow

The track itself is seven minutes of playfully droning bass synths and boom-bap percussion. It’s alive with darting synth tweaks and twitches and races through outer space at an inviting pace, radiating good time vibes from start to finish.

It’s a similar story with the flip – Hell Yeah’s Marco heard one of his (and dance music in general) heroes, Doc Martin, playing the Florian Meindl's bass driven original mix and immediately wanted to give it a full release, but not before asking Doc for a remix.

That remix is released here and is a heavyweight, shuffling bit of house funk with a tight, knotted and tumbling bass refrain propping up soaring diva vocals and grainy, infectious claps. It’s a wavy and hugely inviting groove that has plenty of lip-curling attitude to it.

A fine release with a great backstory that comes complete with great vinyl artwork designed by Andrea Amaducci, this Coast to Coast EP is yet another fine weapon in the Hell Yeah cannon.

*sssshhhhhh, don't tell anyone, but it might just be the hidden Bonus track on the latest EP.

Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody Project Tempo Re-edit

Four years after their debut full length on Distraction records, close Hell Yeah family members Templehof are back on the label with a brand new album, Frozen Dancers.

Italian’s Luciano Ermondi and Paolo Mazzacani are known for their hugely musical electronica; stuff that is rich with plenty of instruments and alive with shoe-gaze texture as evidence by previous EPs on this label like City Airport earlier in 2013 and You K back in 2012. The new nine-track album one again proves the duo to be in a league of their own when it comes to crafting spacious and emotive sound spaces.

Things start with the trilling synths and intricate electronics of Drake, which swells from golden ambiance into a bustling brew of organic and analogue texture. From there things get dark and sad, with the heavy minor chords of ‘Monday is Black’. ‘Change’ then sees the duo play with broken beat patterns and urban moods of the sort you might find in a Burial of Four Tet set. Metal drums clatter a spare pattern as heavyweight bass props the whole thing up and its involving stuff from start to finish.

From there the mood and rhythm of the album continuesto ebb and flow in a way that makes it essential to be listened to in one full sitting. There are anxious and fractious vocals on ‘She Can’t Forgive ‘ that get paired off with torturous synth lines and unsettled arpeggiated melodies. It’s truly heart wrenching stuff but there is also more club-orientated fare like ‘The Dusk’, which sounds like deconstructed Chicago house rebuilt as ethereal, synth heavy electronica. Closer ‘Running Dog’ is another almost churchy and hymnal bit of ambiance littered with skittish percussion and skipping drums that soothes and moves you in equal measure.

You wont hear a familiar pattern of recognisable sample anywhere throughout this album, it is a truly unique and beguiling melange of many different sound sources, genre influences and human emotions and is one that confirms Tempelhof to be one of the finest duo’s in their realm.

Crazy P - Clouds

Still riding high on the success of their second artist album, Another, Crimea X offer up two more singles from it in the form of A Present and Haunted Love. Ensuring the package is even more essential are remixes from Lauer and non-stop Dutchman Legowelt, and of course it’s worth mentioning again that the originals were both co-produced and mixed by Norwegian legend Bjorn Torske.

Haunted Love is awash with seas of liquid synths and floaty-light vocals. It’s a brightly coloured track that chugs un-evenly on vast kick drums and echoes to the sound of distant glassy melodies. It’s rousing and uplifting thanks to the piano stabs and subtle cosmic energy that pervades throughout.

The remix comes from Running Back and Beats In Space associate Philip Lauer (who also works as Arto Mwambe with Christian Beisswenger and Tuff City Kids with Gerd Janson) and is a deeper, moodier affair. A mysterious kick drum lead groove sets the tone as the original’s pianos get vamped up into a more 80s leaning motif. It’s hugely engaging despite being relatively slo-mo and is the sort of end-of the night anthem that really sticks in you brain.

The other original is A Present, an ever-building and tumultuous brew of insistent drums and zithering synth lines. With vulnerable vocals floating up top and sweet, glistening analogue lines it’s a truly heartfelt indie-disco jam.

One of the most prolific producers around is Legowelt, an associate of Clone, Crème Organisation and Rush Hour that is also a celebrated hardware nut. His remix of A Present transform it into a foresty bit of deep house complete with impish synth lines, magical and mysterious melodies and a devastatingly snaking bassline.

Complete with two such fantastic remixes, these Crimea X singles are sure to prove as popular as previous efforts like Yev and recent Prins Thomas Diskomiks selection.

Robotnick's Archives:
Active on the music scene for about 30 years, Alexander
Robotnick has produced an impressive amount of music.
Starting with ¿Avida¿ the first band he put together
,whose early 80s unreleased tracks have been recently
published by Creme Organization) to the latest digital
releases by his label ¿Hot Elphant Music¿.
Being a musicaholic , Robotnick has been stacking a
huge amount of supports: tapes, floppy disks, dats,
CD-roms, hard-disks . Last year, as he turned 60, he
decided to put some order into his archives , getting rid of
much of them but saving some projects that hadn¿t got
to the stage of being released but contained some
interesting ideas that he deemed worth developing and
completing. This is how the idea of Robotnick¿s Archives
came about.
Starting from December 2011, every mont h Elephant
Muisc is releasing a digital EP containing from 3 to 5
tracks , under the title ¿Robotnick¿s Archives¿. It¿s a
production that embraces different styles, from disco to
techno, as the author never identified with a given
genre for good. In some cases these tracks are actually
re-works, in other cases they are true remixes. With a
better equipped and more professional home-studio
(A.R. recently moved from his countryside hideout to an
urban bunker..) and thanks to the collaboration of
Tommaso Bianchi , an extremely talented
sound-engineer, who¿s been recently mastering A.R,¿s
tracks , Robotnick is convinced that , lost in the darkest
corners of his studio, there are indeed some forgotten
gems worh rescueing and publishing.
Robotnick's Archives n.1 features 2 tracks; ¿Morning
Theme¿ ,
- something that could be described as
¿disco/progressive¿ although it comes in 120BPM - and
¿Undicidisco¿, the second one, in two different
versions, both echoing the Electro-house mood (123
bpm)

"If you didn't know, Hell Yeah is the Italian label hell-bent on releasing the best modern disco(ish) you can find. Sometimes it's blissed out and Balearic, sometimes it's squelchy and down-right weird and sometimes it's the sort of elongated, tribal stuff that works dancefloors into a salacious frenzy" (Kristan J Caryl - DJ MAG January 2014)


Hell Yeah Recordings, a descendent of leading Italian dance label Mantra Vibes is an Italian-based electronic music label active since 2006. Releasing from Ferrara, Bologna, and Amsterdam and led by Marco Gallerani “peeDoo” (A&R), the label bases its philosophy on a diversity of artists and recording experiences tied together by a common vision of what defines quality progressive recording. 

With a sound as diverse as the artists it represents, Hell Yeah does not limit itself to the constraints of genre but packs a complex palette of sounds ranging from techno to minimal-nu-rave to electro-funk and tech house.  Artists as varied as Radio Slave, Santos, Umek, Oliver Koletzki, Congorock, 3iO, Crimea X and the mighty Balearic Gabba Sound System have helped establish Hell Yeah’s eclectic sound, a distinct take on party music loaded with a sonic Balearic feel good vibe that has made press around the world hail Hell Yeah as a label to watch, always

Hell Yeah aims to build upon its current reputation as a leading Italian Electronic Music play, overseeing the release of a series of progressive productions that straddle genres, defy conventions and blur barriers between listening and dance music. Stemming from Hell Yeah’s initial graphic identity formed by Neverending’s Rocco “the Boghe” Pezzella, new mind-bending web and label artworks from Italian artist Andrea Amaducci and the Berlin-based Ice Cream For Free collective promises complete visual as well as aural stimulation.
