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.

Derek Carter (KapTep) about this release:

Ambient music seems to be fascinated by nature, oceans and the sky. For this KapTep release I wanted to explore the sky and more importantly all we can’t see, the millions of signals and mysteries that it hides.

I wanted to leave room for the songs to breathe and allow plenty of open spaces within them. At times these compositions may seem empty, that is by design. Although the current environment is to pick a track or two add them to your playlist.

I hope you will spend 49 minutes and listen to this as a body of work, as it was recorded to be listened to in one continuous sitting. In addition to the 6 original tracks there are two wonderful remixes added by Arrival In Eden, and Sacred Seeds.

Numbers Station – I’ve always been fascinated with them. The mystery and intrigue.

Naming the Sky – Melancholy drifting and not a care in the world.

LA Scanner – I simply love the voyeur nature of a cheap scanner.

Cold Luck Moon – Blurred images, sounds and emotions. Plus, three words that don’t mean anything together as a title.

I Need Light – In a world of conflict, doom scrolling and fear… I need light. In fact, I think we all do.

One Hundred Miles Until Sunrise – Have you ever driven somewhere and not remembered a second of it? Totally sober, auto-pilot. This is your soundtrack.

Little Birds - Fill The Trees With Leaves (FLTRLBL137)
Release date: November 11th, 2016
Genres: Chill Out, Electronica, Leftfield, Acid
For fans of: Aphex Twin, Orbital, Air, LFO

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Fill The Trees With Leaves is the third artist album by British electronic music producer Little Birds and it is an amazingly ambitious release. It almost seems like he challenged himself to show the world how much his sound has evolved over the years. The opening trio of songs (White Horses, Wriggle Pants and Feathered Friend) are in line with our expectations from his Black Acid series of EPs, but done with a twist. The atmosphere is a bit more relaxed and they include live instrumentation adding to the organic feel that will go on throughout the album. Things continue to unfurl with the lush and innocently beautiful Llyn Dulyn, Polit Elek and the title track which lead to the breaking point of the album - the brilliant Aphex-Twin-meets-Autechre influenced Jazzy Mums. Then, the big surprise hits us. The epic closing trilogy (High Rise, Harlech and Plateau) is the grandiose finale of Fill The Trees With Leaves. These three songs testify of a producer wandering out of his safe zone, growing as big as possible and arriving at an area reserved for the likes of Air and Groove Armada. Welcome to the big league, Little Birds!

A fun game of a linear FM synth I made via Pure Data patched into the filters/gates/etc of my modular. I'd hate this track if the chord tracking wasn't bugging out.

Brand new Italian electronic duo PALLADIAN emerges with their debut original track ‘Carpets’. Based in Barcelona, Spain, the duo draws from downtempo and contemporary electronic influences, and traditional electronic production techniques, offering an exciting and fresh cross-genre aesthetic. With both members having a background in architecture, PALLADIAN tends to create their songs as if they were buildings. From this approach you can expect a solid rhythmic structure decorated with lots of colorful details; this analogy is the real foundation of the project.

PALLADIAN’s debut ‘Carpets’ also includes an alternate edit from lo-fi chillwave veteran producer Sun Glitters, who offers a different flavor of the same composition. The two-track single releases everywhere on October 16, 2020 via Future Archive Recordings, the artist-run indie electronic label also co-founded by Sun Glitters.
