Streets

Hell Yeah's lovingly curated Buena Onda series is back with a new edition that focuses on Adriatic Beats & Beyond. It has been assembled by label head Marco Gallerani and features four exclusive new tunes that reflect his summer residences at a cosy beach bar on Italy's Eastern and Adriatic coast.

Marco moved back to his hometown of Ferrara after the pandemic and began spending more time at the local seaside, the famous Lidi Ferraresi. It's there, at Lido di Spina, that a friend runs Kai Beach Bar, a small spot where, every Thursday throughout August for the last three years, he has soundtracked afternoons and sunsets under the Buena Onda banner, more than a decade after the party first started in Berlin.

"The beat has become less Balearic, more Adriatic," he explains of the sounds that can be heard up and down the coastline. "There’s no sunset culture yet, but they like a groove for aperitivo. This selection reflects the music I propose there, a kinda sunrise to sunset trip."

The 13-track selection includes four exclusives: the first is Blende's 'Amor,' which is forthcoming on the label. Johan Blende is a Swedish producer, songwriter and DJ who weaves together modern dance with retro sounds of the 70s and 80s and debuts on the label this summer with his Recess EP. 'Amor' is a bubbly groove with a New Age wash and lo-fi pads full of charm.

Hell Yeah regular and Italian magic man Walter Del Vecchio aka Quiroga also offers a new Baia Club Ambient Version of 'French Kiss' which has a lazy acid line worming its way through dubby kicks and tabla drums, and his dreamy electro soother 'Cala Ventosa' also features. Secret Soul Society, aka South Wales's Cal Gibson, also tests a new EP with his 'Orange Surprise' blending off-balance rhythmic shuffles with starry cosmic melodies. The final exclusive is from Balearic Gabba Sound System, who flip The Vendetta Suite aka the legendary Gary Irwin's 'Della Notte' into a quietly epic cinematic closer with icy analogue beats and a warped bassline for dubbed out late night escape. His 'Island Hill Microdot' also offers some warped cosmic ambient house introspection.

Elsewhere, Michele Mininni features twice - once with Gallo's Tropical Hinterhof Remix of the suspensory ambient lushness pop 'Carousel of Tears' and once with the original percussive pressure and hip-house fusion of 'Urban Voodoo' from his Pop Archetypes LP. Buena Onda veteran Feel Fly 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 vocals that glow as warm as a setting sun.

Add in further groovy gems such as Bonnie and Klein's synth and vibes laced 'Horizon Avenue,' dreamy, breaks-driven downtempo brilliance from pub wave innovator Dawn Again, hints of Ibiza cool from Willie Graff's remix of Aura Safari & Jimi Tenor and some upbeat synth-laced house from label stalwart Luminodisco and you have a faultless collection of grooves for grown up dance floors.

After a long summer of many experiences and inspirations, I finally found some time to pour my thoughts into a new podcast. It is somewhat of a answer or reflection to contemporary developments in the slowhouse genre in and around germany which I really appreciate. I hope you enjoy!

Witchtape #68 | Guest Wizz : Rammö

(Story continued from Witchtape #58)

On that April evening, the little witch had nimbly climbed into the tallest tree of the forest to get a better view of the glorious sunset.  After the last rays of sunlight had faded away, an even more amazing celestial constellation unfolded in the western sky, with a tiny crescent of the new moon following the sun down to the horizon, followed by planet Venus.  Actually, the girl had never seen Venus shine so brightly, and the soft green glow of the planet really got under her skin, raising her feminine energy to a level she had never felt before.  High up in the tree, she felt so intensely connected with mother earth and with planet Venus at the same time… and also with the baby witch who was sleeping peacefully in the safety of her womb.  At that moment, she realized she was not a little girl anymore, but a fully-fledged witch.
A few minutes later, the little witch sensed a presence at the foot of the tree.  And when she looked down, her heart skipped a beat.  In the soft moonlight and greenish Venus glow, she saw her wizard standing below her… he had finally returned from his ancestral grounds in Africa.  The little witch swiftly descended to the lowest branch of the tree, from where the giant (2m40 tall) wizard gently picked up the petite (1m58) girl and he held her tightly in his arms while they exchanged a passionate welcome kiss.  Of course, the wizard had many stories to tell from his home village in the African rain forest, but first they simply enjoyed each other’s company, while snuggling close to one another on the soft moss.  Soon the moon would disappear behind the horizon, followed by planet Venus.  But by then, witch and wizard were already in their own world of love and joy on their soft bed of dry moss, only having eye for each other, even when it started to rain well after midnight, ending a dry weather spell of 6 weeks.  And at daybreak, all animals were surprised to see the forest all of a sudden covered with a colorful flower carpet… spring was in the air…

Witchtape #68 | Guest Wizz : Rammö

For many people in the world, today is the day where we gather with our loved ones, enjoy a good meal together, give each other presents, sing and dance together 😉 

Due to the current situation, a lot of people are not able to be with their loved ones today and the same goes for our Berlin Lover Caio aka @ezio-aguiar. For that reason, he recorded 90 Minutes of beautiful music for all his loved ones, so that they can in some way be with him and also for you, so you can feel a bit of his Christmas love today.

We wish that you all feel the love today, no matter where you are and with whom and we hope to be able to hug and love each other in real life soon again.

Solsticio 016 - Tejedor

After Lisa Luka and Adriano from Milan, we now welcome another new, exciting artist who has recently started DJing. Welcome Nora. 

She has told us: 

"Music has always been an important part of my life. In my youth I started playing the piano and some years later I added singing. But those forms of expression I usually did just for myself. So getting the opportunity to learn mixing from a friend in 2020 and thus becoming a djane is a very special experience for me, because performing in front of people showed me, how much I enjoy seeing them dancing and having fun to the music I am playing. I'm lucky to have a lot of friends I'm able to make music with and who are giving me constant feedback. As sad and frustrating the last year was, it also gave me a new way to live my creativity and express myself through music"
