Edit Service 31 - by Alvaro Cabana

This is a little intro to my new album which should be ready by end of november. Just a mellow introduction... for meditation. ;-)

Andak Al - Salaam (the spy from Cairo)

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.

Aura Safari & Jimi Tenor - Bodily Synesthesia

I've always loved this song, and made this rework of it over a decade ago, but seeing that it's point is still valid today, I felt it necessary to share it with my people. Keep that bird's eye perspective folks. Blessyall

The Hotel Costes Presents... Studio HC series delivers its fifth long player, coming courtesy of A-Delta with their ‘Port De L’Arsenal’ album. A-Delta is the collaborative guise of Studio HC’s driving force Adrien De Maublanc and jazz guitarist David Mechali, a sonic synergy which sees the pair skilfully fuse intricate electronics with soul-infused guitar work. The result is a dynamic twist on a classic downtempo aesthetic

Throughout the project De Maublanc and Mechali meld together glitched out percussion, expansive delayed guitar licks and warm low-end tones. From the ever-unfolding, freeform jazz feel of tracks like opener ‘On A Rencontré’, ‘L’Autre Soir’ and title-cut ‘Port De L’Arsenal’ through to more subtly nuanced contributions like ‘Charmant’, ‘Un Musicien’, ‘A Paris’ and ‘Une Chance’, the pair deliver a touch of class and sophistication with a nod to classic jazz composition.

Une Chance

The combination of The Scumfrog with The Oddness need we say more. This Out of Reach remix brings the heat and gives off an overdose of grooves that will make your legs and body shake with excitement.

Track Info: 

The Scumfrog on his new song Tiny Little Human: “"Sure, my quarantine is very comfortable and spacious, but it does evoke thoughts and emotions that I see resonate around me. It addresses how much I have taken for granted the value of basic touch in my daily life. I sense that many people around me are struggling with the sudden absence of human touch. I hope we can remember this frustration when it is once again ok to mingle, and to appreciate the value of a basic hug. We, as humans, made it to the top of the food chain. We essentially 'won earth', but what is that worth if we cannot touch each other?"

The remixes on this stellar package come from Australian production outfit The Oddness (delivering two funky downtempo mixes), U.S. producer Pezzner with a stripped-down haunting mix, and the emerging art collective Voodoo Porn Space Disco delivering a chugging feel-good House anthem.

The video of the song is currently in post-production, and consist of a fan-sourced collection of ‘Legotography’, where the assignment was to photograph a single Lego minifigure in a real-world setting depicting isolation and quarantine. The video is edited together by legendary film and video editor Bob Jenkis (Michael Jackson, Madonna, Chris Isaak)

PREMIERE: The Scumfrog - Tiny Little Human (The Oddness Out Of Reach Remix) [EtherealSubterranean]

« Hôtel Costes presents... » is a collection of exclusive music recorded at STUDIO HC, the hotel’s studio, and here we see the series deliver its second album from Midiminuit, the outfit made up of pianist Julien Quentin, bass player Yonatan Levi and electronic musicians Cesar Merveille & Adrien de Maublanc (Masomenos).

Following on from the ‘Round The Clock’ LP back in September 2019, Midiminuit return with more of their atmospheric electronic twist on modern classical and contemporary jazz. Across the project they deliver hazy jazz jams like the bass noodle, wandering keys and metallic percussion fuelled ‘Kitchen Table’, the baroquely unfolding improvised feel of ‘Loop’ and the snaking dynamic groove of ‘Why Is The Bass So Low’.

The collective also veers into more abstract realms with contributions like ‘Welcome’, which features the ethereal stylings of vocalist Hani, the psychedelic opening piece ‘Do This Thing’ and the minimal modulating feel of ‘Barrio Acido’.

The album also presents some more new age aesthetics via the slowly blooming synthesis of ‘Deep In’ and the cinematic soundscapes of ‘Kindness’ which flutter amidst an intricately crafted rhythmic pulse.

Hotel Costes presents...The Key Boost

B3 - Theme

Born in Berlin, raised in Paris @hotelcostes, and now expanding beyond borders.
STUDIO HC ORCHESTRA is a hybrid entity -part studio, part label, part ever-evolving ensemble founded by Joan Costes and 
Adrien de Maublanc (Masomenos)...A living orchestra without fixed form, shaped by collaborations, textures, light, and places.
It started in Berlin, then disappeared behind the construction dust of Hôtel Costes, where everything  grew quietly, in the in-between.
A studio carved into a building in transformation.
Music composed among unfinished walls, flickering bulbs, and dichroic filtered shadows. Private sessions in a space not yet meant to be seen — or heard. That’s where the orchestra found its voice.
Where silence, texture, and light became instruments in their own right layered not only with sound and silence, but with voices:
Terence McKenna, Aldous Huxley, Graham Hancock thinkers who challenge perception, decode the dream, the orchestra doesn’t just play.It listens, samples, reinterprets, and invites.
In the future: live conversations, unscripted dialogues with minds that bend the frame. This is not a genre. It’s a frequency. An invitation to tune in. Every contributor - sonic, visual, intellectual- part of the composition.
