CALM - BY YOUR SIDE REMIXES PT. 3

I:Cube - Oblivion (Dixon Edit)

Skatebård - The Bells Of Mist

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.

Calm - Mellow Mellow Sadness (Calm "Mellow Mellow Acid" Remix)

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.

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.

PREMIERE #805 | Calm - Before Landing (Lucas Croon Remix) [Hell Yeah] 2020

Completing a red hot trio of remix EPs of Calm’s By Your Side album is this final part with Lucas Croon, Cantoma and Gallo and Yuri Shulgin all serving up expansive and mind altering new versions.

He doesn’t release often but when he does you need to listen to Lucas Croon. His unique take on ‘Before Landing’ is a proper dance floor heater to get you on your toes. Once you're there, a gentle rush of rave euphoria tases over you and sends shivers down your spine as old school breakbeats and glowing pads complete the trip.

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.

M. Quake
'Fall In Love With Yourself'
Vocal/dub double A side 7" & digital
Mastered by Rupert Clervaux
Out on Valentine's Day 2020
----
Following Locks On Our Doors, Not On Our Hearts, a long form confessional for Blackest Ever Black, M. Quake returns to redirect relationship lament into alternate, shifting worlds for 'Fall in Love With Yourself' via Purely Physical.

Intentionally released on Valentines Day, we are treated first to an off the cuff philosophy on “how to love”. Side A uses a sample from an interview with Eartha Kitt, her voice sitting atop Quake’s stripped back, sticks ‘n’ stones production style which utilises background noise elements in the interview - birds chirping, dogs barking - with Eartha’s powerful attitude emphasised by an almost gospel-like dubbed out organ.

Side B, in classic instrumental dub style, acts almost as a demonstration or exhibition of this new found self love, giving us the fully fleshed out version that unveils all the sounds present in the A side and plays to all of the producer's strengths. What’s left of the vocal is echoed to smithereens, the sub bass line and resonant chords all harmoniously combining to create a surreal, Disneyland-like utopian setting.

Having previously held court in several secret circles including F ingers, Th Duo, Tarcar and - possibly - Kallista Kult, Quake’s influences are audible and there for the taking. With 'Fall in Love With Yourself' and its BEB predecessor, a significant solo narrative is beginning to take shape, shimmying out of the dark.

Indie electronic duo @hokimusic have set about making 2020 their own. Following the release of the captivating "King Of Hearts" EP, Varti Deuchoghlian and Brent McCormick have no intention of slowing down. Their soothing sounds present a desired affront to the challenges of recent times.

"Memories Of Love" is a stirring moment of music, that touches on fleeting recollections and their empowering capabilities. McCormick’s hypnotizing vocals float on a ravishingly beautiful ensemble of melody and atmosphere.

Its pairing is the uplifting yet minimal "Limerence", which soothes with delicate synth lines and raises the listener up with the powerful vocals of McCormick.

Greek artist DSF and Dutch talent Helsloot feature on remix duty. All Day I Dream and XYZ stalwart DSF delivers a sleek sun-drenched melodic remix with a Balearic feel. Anjunabeats and Armada Music artist Helsoot brings a power twist to the original in an invigorating dance floor groover.

Hot on the heels of their proud new charity project and first ever compilation ‘Freeride Millenium presents Queer Base’, this agenda setting label returns with an evocative new EP from Brazilian artist @Rotciv, also appearing on vinyl in collaboration with Pauls Musique.

DJing since 1996 and Berlin based since 2010, Rotciv has been playing places like the acclaimed Panorama Bar, Frankfurt’s legendary Robert Johnson club and the Cocktail D’Amore parties for many years. He runs Mister Mistery, a label focused on house music, while also releasing himself on Luv Shack, Unterton (Ostgut Ton) Skylax and many more. All this comes alongside his The Rimshooters project with Massimiliano Pagliara.

He kicks off this fresh EP with 'Number of Names', a rugged roller on the border between house and techno with a phased bassline and rolling chords that get you in a meditative state. The more upbeat 'Glutamate Transmission' gets you shifting shapes with its daubs of acid, crisp percussive flashes and busy bassline, then 'True Colour' has an old school Chicago feel with its chatty claps and acid lines. The moods continue to evolve with style on 'Bubbles The Chimp', a tense cut of broken techno, futuristic machine sounds and lively synths.

Beautiful ambient closer 'Soundwaves' is a lush comedown amongst the stars.
This is a fully formed and journeying EP of fantastic underground sounds with artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

PREMIERE: Armen Miran — The Beauty Of Silence (Original Mix) [Forestrip]

"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.
