A series of cassette variations in the turmoil of the days is opened by a collective improvement of high-class Russian craftsmen — VA Spazio Invasore Vol. 1.
The tape custom is fully equipped with collective images in the spirit of its time. Two sides come together: day and night, light and twilight. The rhythmic in-depth intro sets the pace with a touch of space disco, which is periodically warmed up by retrospective Indian chants.

A more dense continuation falls into the rut of modernity with airy synthesizer additives. As soon as the first side crosses the equator, acid projections mixed with Italian classics and a little whimsical freshness of new disco immediately begin to sound with bright inclusions.
The clever alternate combination of the same elements with the addition of high energy switches to the B side, demonstrating a bold modern look at production. Next, a color of intensity appears with a hint of Depeche Mod and Sovietwave, giving way to trance non-trivial indie dance, and then again going into the mysterious haze of acidity.

It's time for everyone to get their hands on a copy — the collection is already on the shelves!

Expect The Unexpected...

Italian legend Walter Del Vecchio aka Quiroga pays tribute to the acid house era on Hell Yeah with a new package that comes with two originals, an ambient mix and a remix from cult hero DMX Krew.

Quiroga released his last sublime album Passages on this label and it came as the latest entry into a discography filled with beauty and detail. He is a talented musician from Naples who has his own left-of-centre take on the Mediterranean sounds of the city, as he shows "once again" here with a house-leaning outing.

Quiroga has teamed up with cult musician Dario Bassolino and called upon Whodamanny's mixing skills for these new tracks.

First is 'Once Again', a punchy and chunky house cut with skewed bass spraying about the mix. Its rough analogue edges are lit up by searing acid lines that never quit and will turn any party into a cauldron of intensity.

The Ambient Version is a full-flavour downtempo workout that keeps the wild acid lines, adds in some FX, old-school piano chords and a yelping female vocal next to a blissful breakdown.

'Once Again' (DMX Krew Remix) is then a bumping acid-electro monster with fat drums and the manic 303 offset by serene chord work to make for a perfectly emotional dance floor delight.

'Freak The Funk' is a second original cut and not at rides of crisp snares and snapping drums breaks with a warm bassline and smeared cosmic chords up top. It's a classy peak-time house cut with magical pixelated synth melodies.

Alongside superb artwork from PlanetLuke, this is another essential package from Hell Yeah.

PREMIERE : Jude Natural - I Think Its Good

Laura Hairdressa is a rising star from Vilnius, not only a professional hairdresser but also a producer and singer with a low, deep voice that easily reminds listeners of early Madonna. Her passion for music culminated in the release of 4 debut songs, where pop structures and melodies blend seamlessly with the authentic sound of 90’s club music genres like house, breakbeat, and UK groove.

However, despite the easy-to-dance-to club music base, don't be fooled - Hairdressa's lyrics delve much deeper. Her songs touch on themes such as painful breakups, the blinding euphoria of substance use, fear of intimacy, and a zest for life. The result is a collection of beautiful and sophisticated songs that can find a place both on the radio and the dance floor.

NEW HIT: Hairdressa - Palms In The Snow [Electric Shapes]

This release by Amsterdam-based artist Déandrah (@deandrahmusic) is a significant hybrid, combining elements of Industrial, Intelligent Dance Music, and a dark yet unexplored hyper-pop vibe. It features a world of mystic sounds, enchanting melodies, and captivating drum patterns. Heavy, distorted drums seamlessly merge with angelic yet uncanny, pulsating strings and pads. Déandrah's soundcraft is grounded in spontaneous jams and intricately honed sound design, effortlessly blending with the ever-evolving essence of a hopeful moment. Spookily elated.

🔊 https://youtu.be/opEapaybicY

Amongst nature, Cross Pollination occurs when pollen from one plant is transferred to another, resulting in new varieties. Here the Pollination is between like minded artists, sharing a love of aesthetics found in video games and science fiction culture.

This is the first in a series of compilation releases from Mat Carter’s Varial Records. Taking the listener to futuristic other worldly environments whilst maintaining a warm, human, and nostalgic feel throughout, signalling adventure and exploration.

Driving atmospheric rhythms, straight up dancefloor electro, heavy drones, restrained techno and dubbed out soundscapes combine and flow, embracing visions of a distant future, whilst giving a knowing wink to the past, these artists simply can’t deny their influences.

Available on ltd edition cassette (for retro goodness) and digitally.

Following the recent collab between Mat and Radioactiveman on Varial comes a digital ep from Ninechecker which aligns with his recent release on Orson Records. Rumbling bass dwell under tight electro percussion and foreboding synth chords just perfect for cyber punk escapism.

Then comes another vinyl and digital re-release:
Populus EP by Mat Carter- Out 6th Oct. Originally released on the TheWorldKrakCartel’s Sprüngcartellwachs label it has become a rare find, so now Varial re-releases it with the support of Rub’a’Dub records.

This will be followed by a User Only EP, a collaboration between Mat Carter and Stu Dunn who also had a recent release on TOHT.

Then the Varial back catalogue will arrive on digital platforms. All available from Rub’A’Dub records, Bandcamp and other quality record stores.

PREMIERE: Norris Raider - Sky Dive [Varial Records]

Funk The System! The recipe is simple: Dig deep, listen to your heart, record everything you got on a dusty old desktop computer, leave it to simmer for the time of a pandemic, and if it’s still fresh, serve it up on the finest plate of black wax!

This collaboration started in Düsseldorf in the year 2018. Locked up for a week in the Flanger Studios, Wolf Müller and Credit 00 recorded everything: from the jaw harp to smartphone apps, chopping up GDR Jazz breaks and squeezing the Funk out of every synthesizer and drum machine at hand.

You will hear the open mindedness towards all sorts of musical influences from the first note. Each of the five tracks showcases a wild mix of flavours: Disco Reggae, B-Girl Breakbeats, Protest Folk, Subway Funk, Tabla Rhythms, you name it... they’ll take it and shake it! It is obvious these two got sonically socialized and educated by the multiculturalism of Hip-Hop in their early days.

After the first Recording Session, the tracks fermented for some time until they were cracked open again. This time in Leipzig at Credit 00’s Westend Workshop. That’s also where Rizmi from Birmingham joined the team and lent her voice to the title track. She reinterpreted the lyrics of the obscure German 1980s Workers’ Rock Song, that Wolf digged out for the Intro Skit of „Funk The System“.

A long time in the making, Rat Life is very happy to finally publish this EP!

Irawadi (I'm Leaving) (Dj Trong Lai Remix)

"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.
