Shika Shika is very happy and proud to share with you "QUERENCIA" our 2021 compilation introducing 14 tracks by artists from 14 different countries.

The theme of this compilation was migration in the broadest sense - how music, people and culture expands and goes beyond borders - and each artist approached that in their own way, in their own context. You can find out more about the inspiration on the individual tracks on Bandcamp.

Querencia: 'a place where you are your most authentic self; a place from which your strength of character is drawn, where you feel safe, where you feel at home'.

For the artwork, we invited Argentinean visual artist Gala Berger to collaborate with us with one of her pieces. She is co-founder of La Ene (New Energy Museum of Contemporary Art), an experimental museum based in Buenos Aires, and the Paraguay Printed Art Fair, a fair born with the aim of creating alternative platforms of exchange and circulation of independent publications without the traditional restrictions and regulations faced by the mainstream press.

SidiRum - Sendero

Hell Yeah has enlisted two superb artists to remix a favourite cut from Calm's wonderful Before album and they are label friends Willie Graff and Gallo.

Graff is a proper DJ who has been a resident at Cielo in NYC and Pacha’s Funky Room in Ibiza for the last 15 years while also releasing on plenty of esteemed labels. His Calm remix has already become a beachside classic this summer with plenty of magical sunset plays. And for good reason - it's a soothing sound with pillow bass, gentle synth arps and aching piano keys all unfurling to beautifully mesmeric effect.

Balearic Gabba Sound System member and Buena Onda resident Gallo has long been associated with this label and has a new single coming here soon. This remix is a great taster of it with its wide open sense of space and heavenly saxophone lines which drift and flat above the gentle patter of organic percussion and starry-eyed keys. 
A downtempo masterclass that offers sheer musical escapism.

Reflection

A jpurney, a show of strength and taste by newcomer Quixosis. 
Andean vibe, deep and delightful on the ears.

Quixosis - Cuchara de Palo

Sitar&Harmonium Live, Juni 2011

Nurse With Wound - Yagga Blues (Herhangi/Edit)

Actresses on the stage, atrocious ones on the streets, voices in choir, protagonists in repossession of their bodies and the face of the stage ready to scream! “Ato” (Act) second EP by Cigarra, registers part of her experiences with soundtracks and recent partnerships with Brasilian actresses. They are three tracks composed after studio and stage registers, besides her research of sound collage and samples from the most diverse references.

After his deep nature, consciously inspired contribution to our first release on Earthly Tapes 01, Janax Pacha returns with that jungly vibe again bringing you ‘El Caracol’. Translating to ‘The Snail’, the 4-track EP comprises two tempo shifting interpretations of a journey through vibrating mystical woodlands plus two re-works by Andi Otto and Carrot Green.

Raising the tempo whilst still retaining the obscurity of the EP opener, ’Sin Fin’ endlessly pushes the title track into dancier regions. With added momentum, it manages to strike the perfect balance between introspection and a more hedonistic, party-driven focus.

Janax Pacha - Sin Fin (Original Mix)

"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.
