Max Essa completes a trio of terrific releases on Hell Yeah with The Great Adventure EP. It's packed with more grown up dance floor dynamite and later in the year will be collected together with the
first two parts to make for a full album.

By now you will know that Essa is part of the UK's Balearic mafia.
He's served up big tunes on Is It Balearic?, Aficionado, Music For Dreams, Jansen Jardin and his music always acts as a sonic raft that floats you out to sea and leaves you bobbing up and down in a state of pure bliss.

Opener 'Tombolo' starts as acoustic music and the sound of a muffled
crowd but soon awakens into an uptempo affair littered with toms,
guitar licks and claps that are driven by bumping drums. There are
elements of old school, Italo and classic house but somehow it feels
completely new and fresh as it takes you ever higher.

'The Great Adventure' is masterfully sun kissed disco with crisp 80s
drums, love struck chords and a yacht rock feel that is pure joy,
something like topless dancing with sand between your toes and
umbrellas in your cocktails.

Closer 'Fool in the Pool' sinks into gentle tabla drums and unhurried
chords. It's horizontal and thoughtful - the sound of a lazy afternoon
somewhere on the Mediterranean coast, gazing at glistening seas
through the romantic lens flare in your sunglasses.

This EP is already great feedback from the DJ dons who have been
giving it early plays, so act now to snap up your first summer sounds
of 2020.

Straddling styles and formats like a Balearic Colossus, Eclectics come correct once again. With ‘Ocio de Hoy’ by Canebrake, you get both a digital and vinyl release of a pitch perfect EP that will worm its way into your ears and earn a place in your heart. 
Two searing originals leading the charge while two carefully crafted remixes cover the ground left unchartered is fast becoming the M.O. for the Bournemouth-based Balearic label. 
This EP, from Canebrake - Sam Bruce (AKA Mallorquin), is no exception.  
Eclectics mainstay James Bright throws caution to the wind as he finds a new tributary and sails upstream powered by disco drums and piercing acid lines. Snatches of guitar and cleverly handled melody mutations let us know that it’s the same vessel, but taken in a new, exciting direction.

PREMIERE : Canebrake - Borne Upriver (James Bright Remix)

James Bright has grown into an accomplished merchant of sun-streaked rhythms and uncannily spacious electronics from his beginnings. By the turn of the millennium Bright had laid the foundation to a sundazed body of work spanning from Balearic house to kosmische-indebted synth wave, whether solo or through his collaborative efforts. His latest offering ‘The Zooniverse EP’, reignites this flame with five cuts oozing true polyphonic vibrancy and widescreen open-endedness.

The trip starts with the title track ’The Zooniverse’, sending us into orbit for a lesson in intergalactic boogie. All synths blazing, the tune moves slow at first but that laid-back opening is soon superseded by revving keyboard chords and muscular bass swing that has first-grade Neptunian groover written all over it. The overly sexy, sturdy bass show-off continues with the aptly named ‘Cosmos’. Routing us towards cross-dimensional elation, this track is a finely arranged piece of otherworldly funk hedonism, rife with woozy slap bass moves, mischievous drums and hazy, verbed-out riffs - all set to propel the dancers to a higher sphere of consciousness.

A playful breaksy cut laced with an ambient-ish sound design, ’Time Lapse’ conjures up images of greater quiet and mind-expanding beauty. Submerging the listener in broad shrouds of Sino-flavoured zen, ‘90s-laced nu-age'isms and lavish Ibizan tropes, Bright’s got you covered for extended meditation sessions. Veering off onto more explicitly lysergic grounds, ‘Freq Out’ delves further into new beat dynamics to build a moment of retro raving grace that you can’t help but visualise it being played loud at a jam-packed Boccaccio on a busy Saturday night. Capping it on a fragrantly opiated note, ‘Patchouli’ overwhelms you in slow moving synthy quicksand, head wrapped in heady vapours, soft-touch acid squelch and mesmeric melodic layers, all duly woven to have you zoning out in a jiffy.

[SPA103] ALEX AGUAYO - Nightcall (Original Mix)

Review: There's certainly no shortage of synth-led, Euro/Italo-inspired disco around right now, and here we get four more slices of such to choose from courtesy of Vigi, a producer from Nice, France whose work has previously appeared on  Slightly Transformed and NDYD Records, among others. There are three rubs of 'Unknown Lover' but they don't vary hugely, truth be told: Aleito's mix is a tad darker, James Rod's a touch more psychedelic and druggy, but these are very subtle distinctions. Bonus cut 'Never Forget', meanwhile, couldn't be more Moroder-esque if it changed its name to Giorgio!

Based in the beautiful and vibrant city of Madrid, Spanish DJ and Producer Extraordinaire - Rayko has been a leading light in the clubbing scene around Europe and beyond, since he founded his magnificent Rare Wiri label in 2008 where he has released some of the coolest names out there during all these years like Daniele Baldelli, Man Parrish, Gazeebo, Ilija Rudman, Ichisan, Spirit Catcher, Mushrooms Project, or Eric Duncan among many others

His very unique sound and personality, and incredible work ethic, coupled with  unstoppable creative genius have given Rayko the momentum and consistency to stack up a number of great achievements in his genres, although being such a humble and down to earth guy, he will tell you that he just loves what he does and is perpetually inspired to keep on doing it! 

Deeply rooted in the golden era of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Rayko’s influences are masterfully interpreted and transformed into modern day dancefloor bombs with great vision. His love affair with the evolution of synthesizers and vintage drum machines has gone on to heavily fuel his sound today, in addition to sonic desires of 80s Rock evident in his catalogue, that displays such exquisite musical versatility. 

Rayko is very proud to have featured on over fifty great vinyl releases, spread across labels such as Eskimo, Is it Balearic?, Whisky Disco, Lumberjacks in Hell, and Editorial, including two studio albums on Nang Recordings, in addition to over two hundred digital releases. Many of these titles have been repeatedly featured in Top 10 sales charts, with some releases making it to the coveted number one position on platforms like Juno Download, Beatport, and Traxsource. His talents as a remixer have been in constant high demand, with invitations from coveted Artists like Psychemagik, Sirs, In Flagranti, Roberto Rodriguez, or Dj Rocca, to name a few, calling upon his exceptional skills.

In his capacity as DJ, Rayko is much loved wherever he goes. He has toured extensively, having played in some of the best clubs and festivals all over the world,  from London, Berlin, San Diego, Ibiza, Paris, Milan, San Francisco, Tulum, Barcelona, Manchester, Los Angeles, Medellin, Cairo, Miami, Istanbul, Moscow, Tokyo, Mexico City, Liverpool, Oslo, Rio de Janeiro, Bali, to Lebanon and beyond, he continues to show love to his huge following, who are collectively responsible for  his incredible global streaming numbers of over six million plays on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube.

As his fantastic catalogue continues to expand through the years, Rayko has become one of the most loved names in modern Disco.
