Great music is often about chance meetings and impromptu creative sessions and so it is that Hell Yeah proudly serves up Sensory Blending, a new collaborative album from Italian collective Aura Safari and Finnish musician Jimi Tenor. The nine-track record arrives on 26th April 2024 and is a lush and luxurious fusion of jazz-funk styles.

This glorious record came about after Tenor was playing a Hell Yeah party at Tangram in Perugia. Aura Safari were local and, in some free time the day before the gig, everyone jumped in the studio together. They had never met before but soon found plenty of free-flowing common ground and the result of that one-off session is now served up on this vibrant new album that brims with musicality, indelible melodies and subtly uplifting vibrations.

Tenor has toured the world and previously collaborated with the likes of Japanese master Calm. He is a psychedelic space-jazz-funk king, skilled musician, composer and producer who, since the mid-nineties, has released more than 25 albums and 45 EPs. Aura Safari is made up of bass, synth, guitar and keys players Lorenzo Francioli, Ruggero Bonucci, Nicola Pitassio Andrea Moretti, Lorenzo Lavoratori, Daniele Melloni and Nicholas Iammatteo, and they are label regulars who served up their sublime Island Dreams album here last year.

Says Jimi, who enjoyed his time in Perugia and adds that "the studio session was 100% efficient. I showed up and we started to play. Almost all that was made was material that we could use for the album. I love to work fast. Quick brushstrokes. Finish! I was amazed at how intuitively the Aura Safari guys could come up with new parts for songs. I mentioned some feeling or approach and they seemed to find it just like that.”

'Bodily Synesthesia' is the seductive opener with steamy sax notes and gentle grooves that are topped by aloof vocal whispers. 'Lunar Wind' is another slow and steamy mix of jazzy keys and soulful vocal hooks, 'Bewitched By The Sea' is a more tropical and percussive number with majestic melodies and 'My Bluebell' picks up the pace with jazz-funk grooves and hustling chords. 'Last Waltz In Perugia' has freeform sax lines soaring over meticulous drums that ebb and flow and 'Gimlet' brings a playful, samba-tinged rhythm and sunny flute leads straight from South America. There's a laidback, carefree mood to 'It's Too Easy To Love You' while 'Your Magic Touch' is a dancey number that exudes melodic joy, and 'Indigo' closes in dramatic fashion with a conversational sax that sticks long in the memory.  

Sensory Blending is a seamless fusion of collaborative minds from Aura Safari and Jimi Tenor and it could well be performed live at some special select shows later in the year.

Electronic artist Grassskirt makes his comeback with new single ‘Starry Night’, an atmospheric guitar-laden downtempo cruise that perfectly soundtracks the feeling of summer approaching.
 
‘Starry Night’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Grassskirt produces downtempo music with equal parts Balearic warmth and Scandinavian sophistication. Groovy feel-good beats with a penchant for the grand, cinematic motifs, created with a mix of acoustic and electronic elements.
 
Grassskirt, aka Jørn Kristensen, released the critically acclaimed album Hey Music Lover back in 2003 and has since focused on DJ’ing. Returning now to the Music For Dreams label, he is planning a second album, which is set to drop late 2025. ‘Starry Night’ is the first single from the album.

PEPE LINK presents SCENES FROM MY SOUL II →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
Sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the sonic universe of Pepe Link
 
Some music is not just heard; it is felt. These are soundscapes that evoke memories,
awaken emotions, and transport us to places where time dissolves. Scenes from My Soul
II is precisely that: an unhurried journey, a whisper of waves, the warmth of the sun on
your skin. Pepe is a key figure in the Balearic chill-out scene and returns with his second
solo album following the success of his debut for MFD.
 
His music has been the soundtrack to unforgettable sunsets—a dialogue between
evocative electronica and Mediterranean echoes, between nostalgia and celebration. His
first album for Music for Dreams surpassed a million streams on digital platforms, and his
sound has become a sonic refuge for those seeking beauty and authenticity.
 
Pepe Link, DJ, producer, and music curator for the prestigious Cappuccino Grand Café
chain, has subtly defined the sonic identity of these spaces, infusing them with an
immersive and sophisticated atmosphere. Now, with Scenes from My Soul II, he invites us
to discover a new palette of emotions, where the roots of Balearic beat merge with
ethereal atmospheres, electronic textures, and the soft whispers of jazz. (Including a very special Balearic re-interpretation of Orbital’s classic ‘Belfast’ theme.)
 
To create this sonic mosaic, Pepe has surrounded himself with artists who, like him,
understand music as a language of the soul:
 
🎸 Tolo Servera, a renowned Mallorcan producer and guitarist who brings Pepe’s ideas to
life, adding his most organic nuances.
🎺 Alejandro Delgado, a free-spirited Cuban trumpeter whose music breathes with the
intensity of pure jazz.
🎺 Pepe Navarro, a fantastic young trumpetist, and one of the most exciting promises of Ibiza’s jazz-house scene.
🎤 Ella Crevani, an emerging voice of Balearic nu-soul, capable of enveloping listeners
with her sweetness and depth.
🎷 Copenema, a Brazilian saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist who paints melodies with
the warmth of a sunset on the beach.
🎤 Glen Antony, a voice that embraces and moves, with the soul of R&B beating in every
note.
🎸 Santino Surfers, a Danish guitarist with a hypnotic touch that caresses psychedelia.
 
On production, Pepe Link has counted on the collaboration of Kiko Navarro, a friend and
master of sound, who has brought his studio expertise to infuse the mixes with both
freshness and depth.
 
Scenes from My Soul II is an honest album, free from artifices or pretension, created out of love for music and the need to share it. A record to close your eyes and feel, to travel
without moving, to find beauty in every chord. Because, in the end, music is nothing more
than this: an invisible bridge between souls, destined to endure through time

Jackie O. Bar Berlin 133: Cigarettes & Streetlights (Gone But Not Forgotten)

It’s banging time

Una traccia intensa e riflessiva che cattura l'urgenza del tempo che scorre. No Time è un viaggio sonoro costruito su groove pulsanti, synth profondi e un’atmosfera che oscilla tra la tensione emotiva e la libertà del dancefloor. Perfetta per le ore più immersive della notte, questa release segna il debutto ufficiale di Gabbo WAV con una firma stilistica chiara e vibrante.

No Time

Close your eyes. What do you hear?

Powerful, heart-pounding rhythms that make you want to dance. Ethereal synths that lift you to another place. Sometimes, delicate piano keys that tell a story. And a voice that cuts right through, filled with raw emotion.

I’ve woven all of these textures together to create my first real album (not a soundtrack): "An Other Way". It’s a piece of my soul, and now it’s yours to discover.

"An Other Way" lives in that space between euphoria and heartbreak. It’s a blend of high-energy electronic music and atmospheric soundscapes designed to hit you right in the feels.

Singers: Lull Abi, Evelinn

This is the most personal music I've ever made. Ready for the ride?
