Hell Yeah has enlisted two superb artists to remix a favourite cut from Calm's wonderful Before album and they are label friends Willie Graff and Gallo.

Graff is a proper DJ who has been a resident at Cielo in NYC and Pacha’s Funky Room in Ibiza for the last 15 years while also releasing on plenty of esteemed labels. His Calm remix has already become a beachside classic this summer with plenty of magical sunset plays. And for good reason - it's a soothing sound with pillow bass, gentle synth arps and aching piano keys all unfurling to beautifully mesmeric effect.

Balearic Gabba Sound System member and Buena Onda resident Gallo has long been associated with this label and has a new single coming here soon. This remix is a great taster of it with its wide open sense of space and heavenly saxophone lines which drift and flat above the gentle patter of organic percussion and starry-eyed keys. 
A downtempo masterclass that offers sheer musical escapism.

File Under Balearic Gabba EP is the first in a new series of serious DJ tools that will encompass remixes, edits, originals and licenses, all with artwork that is a twist on the original Balearic Gabba logo by PlanetLuke.
Up first is a new selection of music from core Hell Yeah artists that is unruly, impossible to define, and sure to twist dance floors inside out.

First up is Daniel Klein better known as SIRS, a Berlin-based mainstay with releases on the likes of Live At Robert Johnson.  His cut of  Caramel 3000's 'Super Rapido' is a dubbed-out blend of kosmiche chug and tropical percussion. Tumbling synth sequences bring extra colour as the groove builds over nine irresistible minutes. 

Then comes Japanese downtempo master Calm with his Mellow Mellow Acid Dub of Sergio Messina & The Four Twenties's 'Sometimes Remember' which is a nostalgic acid daydream and the perfect sunset soundtrack. Melancholic moods and lazy drums sink you in deep as the gentle acoustic guitars keep you afloat.  

Label regular and Internasjonal and International Feel associate Feel Fly then 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, worldly vocals that glow as warm as a setting sun. 

Last of all is New York maestro and Loose Control Band member DJ Spun with his It's Rong Remix of My Friend Dario's 'Acid Mosquito in a Summer Night'. It finds him serving up a nine-minute excursion into jungle humidity with tribal percussion and jumbled bongos all run through with a spooky and primeval lead synth over lurching drum breaks.

The File Under Balearic Gabba EP brings a whole new dimension to wonky dance floor workouts.

Support by Sean Johnston (ALFOS), Chris Duckenfield, Fabrizio Mammarella, Talking Drums, Alexis Le Tan, Max Essa, Kristian (Ame), Tangram DJs.

"If you didn't know, Hell Yeah is the Italian label hell-bent on releasing the best modern disco(ish) you can find. Sometimes it's blissed out and Balearic, sometimes it's squelchy and down-right weird and sometimes it's the sort of elongated, tribal stuff that works dancefloors into a salacious frenzy" (Kristan J Caryl - DJ MAG January 2014)
