There was a deep rumble - the sound of machines. It was what inspired him - the loud noises and the reverberating echo of progress as the noise grew and grew in a great harmonious cacophony.

Some said that one day machines would rule us all, little did they know about the wild ambition of mad scientists and anarchists who would use them to unleash unruly madness.

However, the machines could be just as peaceful if they were allowed to be. Just because something roars does not mean that it has to bite.

Forthcoming on Compost Records, a compilation which spotlights and showcases the best of a newish generation of krautrock featuring producers and musicians such as I:Cube, Fred und Luna, Abrão and many more. This track from Halwa takes our pick of the bunch.

One of Oslo´s most curious and forwardthinking house producers, Ivaylo, releases his new dubby deep house track ´Chill Bill´ on legendary Full Pupp, a label he himself is curating in collaboration with Prins Thomas. And Bill certainly have made a good friend in Thomas, as his remix of the track takes new directions in comfort house. Sonic landscapes, like a whale swimming south looking for someone to share a drink. The Prins Thomas acclaimed percussive and dubby disco touch, allthough without getting too dirty. Pure late summer bliss!

We are proud to present the first EP from Maracuja, a trio composed of Stephane Lefrancois, Sarkis Ricci and Elle Holgate who together have created an infectious and joyful blend of afro - beat, funk and jazz.
Stephane's blend of live percussion and electronic grooves are the perfect playground for Sarkis' bouncy bass lines, catchy hooks, and soloing escapades on the keys, finished off by Elle's intriguing and ethereal vocal poems. A musical tapestry of cinematic story-telling, Balearic lullabies, and sunshine-soaked jazzy landscapes.
Maracuja open the dance with Re-Percussions, a groovy instrumental with an uplifting vibe, the ideal appetizer for the following courses, a little warmup, if you will.
The title track, Portrait of a Soul on Fire, is a mesmerizing piece of lyricism. Afro drums, a growly bass line, and hauntingly sparse chords leave plenty of space for Elle to paint a picture of the archetypal artist’s journey; a combination of inspiration, bliss, blood sweat and tears, where colour, intertextuality and passion collide. Between spoken word and singing, she weaves her beguiling spell paying homage to the greats that came before.
With Chanel Blues, Maracuja pick up the pace and energy. The drums are frantic, jumpy, ever - driving. Sarkis' guitars, keyboards and bass provide an inspiring backdrop for an age-old tale of material possession at the expense of depth.
Bassoon goes back to a chilled out afro beat groove with a meandering bass line, rhodes and layers of floaty synths, punctuated by Sarkis' wurlitzer outbursts woven into melodic vocal hooks and a lighthearted ocean-view worthy poolside soundtrack.
The closing track, Goddess, is an ode to femininity in its all-encompassing creative and fertile energy. The decidedly afro-beat tinged drums and bass offer a solid foundation for Sarkis' beautiful theme and mischievous jazzy solos. Elle's tribute to feminine energy is heavily flavoured with inspiration for one of her favourite female artists; the unparalleled poetry of Ursula Rucker.
Maracuja are also lucky enough to be surrounded by many inspiring musicians, who offered their talents for remixing.
Rhythms of Prescott's rework of Bassoon is a floor filling, groovy, chunky monster of a track. The triplet, shuffle drum groove relentlessly drives the energy, while swirling pads, vocal cuts and chords turn this piece into a memorable party starter.
Rise Ashen's rub of Chanel Blues is a masterpiece of deconstructed revisiting. With his signature, driving grooves and arrangement, Rise completely flips the original version around, playfully highlighting Elle's and Sarkis' vocals, creating a captivating journey through some of the original's more hidden elements.
Finally, Gregorio's interpretation of Portrait of a Soul on Fire offers a balmy, ambient infused closure to the EP, jazzy hooks lulling the listener into an introspective, emotional finish. Floaty piano lines, upright bass and soft, surging pads create the ideal backdrop to showcase Elle's lyrics. There was no better way to close the curtain, for now, on this Maracuja feast.

PREMIERE | Maracuja -  Portrait of a Soul on Fire (Gregorio Soave's Remix) [Secret Music] 2023

File Under Balearic Gabba EP is the first in a new series of serious DJ tools that will encompass remixes, edits, originals and licenses, all with artwork that is a twist on the original Balearic Gabba logo by PlanetLuke.
Up first is a new selection of music from core Hell Yeah artists that is unruly, impossible to define, and sure to twist dance floors inside out.

First up is Daniel Klein better known as SIRS, a Berlin-based mainstay with releases on the likes of Live At Robert Johnson.  His cut of  Caramel 3000's 'Super Rapido' is a dubbed-out blend of kosmiche chug and tropical percussion. Tumbling synth sequences bring extra colour as the groove builds over nine irresistible minutes. 

Then comes Japanese downtempo master Calm with his Mellow Mellow Acid Dub of Sergio Messina & The Four Twenties's 'Sometimes Remember' which is a nostalgic acid daydream and the perfect sunset soundtrack. Melancholic moods and lazy drums sink you in deep as the gentle acoustic guitars keep you afloat.  

Label regular and Internasjonal and International Feel associate Feel Fly then comes through with an Estatico Danzante Remix of Pedro Bertho's 'Tornei' feat Mariana Gehring and takes us to the stars on twinkling keys, dusty breakbeats and steamy, worldly vocals that glow as warm as a setting sun. 

Last of all is New York maestro and Loose Control Band member DJ Spun with his It's Rong Remix of My Friend Dario's 'Acid Mosquito in a Summer Night'. It finds him serving up a nine-minute excursion into jungle humidity with tribal percussion and jumbled bongos all run through with a spooky and primeval lead synth over lurching drum breaks.

The File Under Balearic Gabba EP brings a whole new dimension to wonky dance floor workouts.

Support by Sean Johnston (ALFOS), Chris Duckenfield, Fabrizio Mammarella, Talking Drums, Alexis Le Tan, Max Essa, Kristian (Ame), Tangram DJs.

"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)
