Eclectics release 'Let It Pass' by Statues

Essex-based trio Statues return to Eclectics with another four-track EP. There’s no change to the MO – two exceptional OGs rock up to the party, each with a +1 in the form of a killer remix.

Rotunda is all swagger and shoulders. A mid-paced beast that swaps sharp edges for a slow roll, that rocks… but gently. The synthetic bass dives deep, providing balance and ballast while the upper register takes advantage of this free reign. Zither glissandos ebb and flow while guitar lines drift in and out, marshalled into time by a neck-snapping shuffle with a sense of slow, unhurried purpose.

Showing a similar, singular focus, is Gold Suite, AKA Bali’s Joey Fitzgerald. Opening the original up wide enough to drop in a piano, acoustic guitar and lead line licks, he builds a remix that is in equal parts balearic groover and 3am mover. The result is a certified banger that will see arms raised quicker than any armed bank heist.

Lessons, by contrast, sees Statues in repose. A simple cymbal pattern leads the way as organ, strings and bass join in, laying the ground for the mournful vocal refrain “The past is a lesson”. What follows is a blissful slice of horizontal balearica pitched perfectly for these times. With the world opening its arms to us once again, this is the soundtrack for us all to sway into its embrace.

Coyote take the remix reins, their deep dub adding lift to the kick and bounce to the bass. They pare back and stretch out, filling the space with found fragments and soft sonic furnishings. The result is a very different destination, but one that still wraps itself around you like a welcome hug from an old friend. Expansive synths and tightly echoed effects ride the wave of a way-out sound without losing sight of the original.

It’s a lesson to us all.

Statues - Rotunda  (Gold Suite Remix)

Mexico City resident La Guardia De La Luz is back on Hell Yeah with a new three-track EP, The Magnetic Field, a perfect follow-up from his Awakenings EP back in late 2021. 

This Balearic-not-Balearic artist has been crafting his seductive sounds for many years. From lush deep house to stoner dub via psychedelic beats, he can do it all with a majestic sense of storytelling. This time out he has his sights set firmly on the dance floor as he mixes up breakbeat, reggae and disco. 

'Kingston Technologies' has an irresistibly wiggling dub rhythm. Dusty breakbeats and digi-synths dance around one another as warm chords and jah-inspired vocals drift up top. It's a super fresh tune that sounds like nothing else out there. 

The epic ten-minute workout that is 'Planetary' builds on deep-cut house drums with funky bass playing and louche percussion. It's an early evening classic that will see any floor slowly fill up as people shake their booty to the loose rhythm and get lost in the soulful melodies that grow ever more cosmic. 

Finally, the title track is another nearly 10-minute masterpiece with silky star-gazing arps circling up through the mix over lazy breaks. It's an expansive track with a widescreen design that has you gazing off to the distance and lost in a loved-up deep disco reverie. 

These are three inventive tunes that take you to another world.

Cham Dance is a timeless slice of back-to-the-future house music by the São Paulo-based duo Kurc and Chausi. Merging 80’s nostalgia and 90’s rave influences, the EP evokes the past in spirit, when rules weren’t yet written and our romance with transcendental machine sounds was in its early days. You can find freedom within the tracks and unity around the album. Vigorous beats and ethereal pads that bring about the first light of bliss to a packed summer dancefloor. This is a record you sit and listen to as a whole, something that in our current time is rare. A journey into sound.

Hell Yeah has commissioned a series of remixes of Before, the critically acclaimed album Calm dropped on this label in 2022. First up is the Is It Balearic? Recordings founders Coyote with two versions of Liminal Moment.

First up is the Coyote Dream mix, a post-rave soundtrack, a blissed-out comedown with gorgeous melodies and smeared chords over rubbery drums that soothe the soul. Then comes the Coyote Acid Dream Mix, which is a deep, dubbed out and pulsing journey laced up with soft 303 lines and celestial chords. It's the sort of track that takes you to the heart of a steamy 5 am dance floor and locks you into a hypnotic state. 

Following this great start to the remix series, next up are Willie Graff & Gallo with their take on 'I Love You.'

"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)
