After the success of the first, there always had to be a second Buena Onda compilation. Before that arrives later this year comes a second delicious sampler featuring a remix from Calm, some 303 Balearic action from Iceland, Italian house newcomer Relative and a fresh Gallo rework.

Buena Onda is of course the cult Berlin-based party that constantly redefines Balearic music. It is run by Hell Yeah label boss Marco with resident DJ and co-founder Gallo and is a party that is both eclectic and euphoric, whether serving up slow acid or dreamy downtempo.

This sampler opens up with Buena Onda favourite Calm and his epic Mellow Mellow Acid remix of Gallo's 'Abysso,' which is long-legged, fulsome and laced with life-affirming piano chords. Then comes Icelandic artist Tonarunur who used to record as B.G. Baarregaard and has landed on the likes of Eskimo Recordings and Citizens of Vice. He layers deep acid lines into a smooth house groove that is sprinkled with cosmic dust. Italian house newcomer Relative then brings tumbling percussion, smeared chords and plenty of drama Italo vibes to his tune 'The Healing Place' and Gallo's Tropical Hinterhof Remix of Kayroy's 'Imagine' is five minutes of post-rave comedown bliss with gorgeous ambient design and celestial chord work that soothes the soul.

This is another perfect snapshot of the mature musical thrills you get at Buena Onda.

After crossing the country from mountain to sea, Pierre Prière dedicated his latest trips to India to a sluggish and studious quest to unearth the subcontinents’ holy Bollywood grails, rediscovering it through its musical heritage. 
Weeks spent roaming the streets and suburbs of Delhi, Mumbai, its Kandivali neighborhood. A patient exploration of hidden gems in their dusty caves and warehouses, sometimes sleeveless and roughly piled up, warped by heat and time, in mint condition; litres of chaï. 
A few synths, drum machine and scissor cuts later, Kandivali Edits takes shape and offers a selection of his fav tracks, properly edited to his own sauce. 
Like a Proust idli, Kandivali Edits unveils an intimate and personal trip to the heart of India’s melodic 80s/90s cherished by Pierre Prière, rocked by the compositions of legendary Bappi Lahiri, A.R. Rahman and Kalyanji Anandji brothers.

Avanti & Love Bites - Mango Pickle (Local Kaffee)

"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)
