The complete collection of remixes of Calm’s album is now presented on a special CD/digital release that, rather pleasingly, repackages the remixes in the same order as the original tracks. The likes of Mark Barrott, Yuri Shulgin, Gallo, Calm himself, Lucas Croon, Cantoma and more all feature.

First up is the Mark Barrott mix of 'Space Is My Place'. It’s an exotic feeling track with a watery current, and then comes J-Walk, who has just put out a fantastic album of leftfield downtempo on Wonderfulsound. His remix of ‘Afterglow and First Star’ has astral synths and leads that will have you gazing skyward, before Yuri Shulgin then steps up with the gorgeous ambient awakening that is his take on ‘Ending Summer Beginning Autumn.’

Label homie Gallo gets long legged on his deep-cut remix of ‘Sky Color Passing’ and after the twinkling melodies and scattered drums of My Friend Dario’s remix of ‘Shadows and Lights’ is Calm’s own acid laced interpretation of ‘Mellow Mellow Sadness'.

Alex Vincent is in reflective mood as he drowns you in lush pads and sustained chords on his remix of ’Shade of Tree’ and the always masterful Lucas Croon’s take on ‘Before Landing’ is a gentle rush of rave euphoria with its old school breakbeats and glowing pads.

Mind Fair’s remix sinks you into a slow motion house gem before balearic bossman Phil Mison becomes Cantoma for a version of ‘You Can See The Sunrise Again’ that has bright blue skies and jaunty chords making you move.

This is a varied and vital packages of remixes that not only provides plenty of heat for DJs, but also works as a fantastic standalone album.

Calm - By Your Side (Mellow Mellow Acid Versons & Remixes)

Following on from Calm’s stunning By Your Side album on Hell Yeah late last year, it is now revisited with a series of special remixes & Mellow Mellow Acid Versions. Part 1 finds the Japanese artist himself revisit one track, while Mind Fair also step up with fresh new versions. 

 First up, Calm reworks his own ‘Mellow Mellow Sadness’ into Mellow Mellow Acid.  It's a super slow burning and soothing remix with a gentle acid line drawn out of tumbling drums. Blissful chords ripple out to the horizon and you can really feel the sun on your face with this one. 

 Golf Channel and International Feel disco duo Mind Fair step up to flip ‘My Home Town’ into a long legged and gorgeously hazy downtempo disco bomb. The chords shimmer and shine and will have people swaying with their eyes shut and is sure to become a huge track this summer.

Shadows and Lights

Calm - Shadows And Lights (My Friend Dario's Etna Breeze Remix)

The first set of remixes of Calm’s By Your Side got plenty of props for sound quality as well as their ability to get people grooving. Now the label serves up some more remixes, this time from legendary figures Mark Barrott (international Feel) and My Friend Dario. 

Up first is Barrott, the long time slow motion master whose downtempo, ambient, new age and electronic fusions very much set out the Balearic template way back in the nineties. ‘Space Is My Place’ (Mark’s Re<>Imagination to the Sacred Heart Center) is an enchanting and tropical reworking with exotic percussion and liquid drums that gentle sway to and fro like a raft at sea. It’s another escapist, transportive track from Barrott that takes you to the other side of the world.

Elsewhere, long time Balearic pin up, scene hero and all round blissed out boss man Phil Mison has a new album corn gin the spring. Before that, he becomes Cantoma for a timeless version of ‘You Can See The Sunrise Again’ that has bright blue skies and jaunty chords making you move.

Regular label artist homie Gallo is in the form of his life right now - he's resident DJ at Hell Yeah's weekly Balearic night Buena Onda in Berlin, has a growing reputation for being one of the best eclectic selectors in the game and is currently working on compiling the forthcoming BUENA ONDA comp with label head Marco. He gets long legged on his deep cut remix of ‘Sky Color Passing’ which is another killer that slowly but surely works you in a slow motion acid trance.  

Completing this most exquisite outing is Yuri Shulgin,  a multi-instrumentalist music producer from Tajikistan with credits on Cocktail d'Amore Music. His spellbinding take on 'Ending of Summer, Beginning of Autumn' is a fusion of jazz, leftfield and electronica will have you in a spin and your head lost in the clouds amongst the twinkling stars and cosmic pads.

Calm - Ending Of Summer, Beginning Of Autumn(Yuri Shulgin Remix)

"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)
