There & Back

Blog

There & Back 001: January, Rolling Drum & Bass 1994-1996

Having been long-time admirers of one another from afar, Hell Yeah and Michele Mininni finally come together for Pop Archetypes. It is a multifaceted debut album that collides broken beats, worldly rhythms, jazz, eastern melodies, live drums and much more into one thrilling 15-track opus that arrives on May 31st.

Italian artist Mininni has always had a leftfield take on electronic music and imbued it with rhythms, melodies and instruments from around the globe. He has released it on cult labels like R&S, Optimo Trax, Internasjonal and Curle Recordings but has saved his magnificent debut album for Hell Yeah. It is much more than a collection of sounds he has already explored and instead finds him heading off into all new territory without losing his signature sense of inventive and beguiling rhythm and melody. It is a multicultural journey that takes in heterogeneous styles and diverse influences but distills them all into one cohesive album with its own unique storyline.

Says Mininni of the record, "I wanted each track to be like pieces of a unique, multifaceted picture, like walking through train cars or progressing through the levels of a video game, all filtered through my own vision and concentrated into 36 minutes. I wanted a pop album rooted in the extraordinary richness of popular music and projected into the future, a continuum where pieces communicate with each other and are received by the ears in symbiotic balance."

Despite that concept, the album is a spontaneous listen full of surprises, left turns and original ideas that all hold together in thrilling fashion. It kicks off with the tumbling jazz drums and swirling synths of 'Spinning Around Cotton Candy', takes in mellifluous melodic layers and broken beats on 'Golden Room' and 'Slipped Air' casts you adrift amongst gorgeous piano keys and refracted vocals on the suspensory 'Vertigo'. There are jungle interludes with Eastern string melodies like 'Bangkok Tempo', lavish fusions of organic and synthetic sounds on 'Kundalini' and more charming Far Eastern rhythms on 'Muting Cat'. 'Congoflash' brings electrifying cosmic rays to busy hand drum patterns, 'The Magic Of Synesthesia' combines dark amen breaks and bright and uplifting flutes while 'Carousel Of Tears' douses you in watery melodies and celestial pads that awaken the soul.

Pop Archetypes is an adventurous work packed with meticulous and infinite details but all with an overarching narrative that makes it far more than the sum of its parts.

Really nice album!!

SEAN JOHNSTON/ A LOVE FROM OUTER SPACE
Absolutely love this.

JAYE WARD/ RINSE FM
Ahhh wicked big fan of his R&S output… the lp sounds totally epic, really into vertigo, urban voodoo, Congo flash & wet market. But the whole LP is definitely going to get rinsed. Propels left field and beautiful!

MAX ESSA
What an astonishing collection of music! An incredible release.

FRANCOIS K/ BODY & SOUL
Love this.

My guest on Line Noise this week is Kirk Degiorgio, a British producer perhaps better known as As One, who has been in electronic music for more than 30 years, occupying a territory somewhere between Detroit techno, home listening, funk, soul and jazz. We spoke about his classic As One album Reflections, which Barcelona label Lapsus is reissuing, about giving up DJing, arguments with Warp, Detroit, Mo Wax and more.

From The Box Vol. 11

Radiocuts - From The Box (Vol. 11)

This year's crate-digging project continues with this fun tribute to stuff that happens below 130 bpm. I've never really been a house head, but I do have some bits and pieces, so I really enjoyed putting together this mix. It's a pretty serious crate-digging project, connecting the dots between modern lo-fi house, weird electro, acid house, late 90's London tech-house, old skool deep house, and all kinds of other stuff. Lots of fun!

Blog post coming soon.

Soulful jazzy jungle dnb mix 5 (Autumn Leaves C) 166 BPM

Part 3 of the tribute mix series delving into the music of Photek, Source Direct & Hidden Agenda who were a huge musical influence on me growing up.

Rounding off the Photek & Source Direct selection with some more classics, remixes and rarer bits thrown in not included on the previous volumes.

The next instalment will finish up the series with Hidden Agenda taking centre stage before I return to hopefully upload some mixes that were lost in time.

Going into the new year, I will try to have a more regular uploading schedule so, keep it locked into the Soundcloud & YouTube....

Thank you for all your support in 2024. I hope anyone who's stopped by has enjoyed the mixes, selection or even just the intros/artwork choices. May your 2025 and beyond be blessed and healthy.

From nothing.. comes everything

A little space to show off my music collection from time to time. 

Most mixes will focus on drum and bass/jungle music which I grew up with and was heavily influenced by in the early to mid 90's. There will be a whole host of other genres that cover a wide spectrum of influences that come deep rooted from my upbringing and curiosity. Hopefully you'll enjoy the channel via similar tastes or perhaps discover something new, even if old, and that's the beauty of music, it's timeless.

When the mood takes these uploads are done for the love of the music and appreciation of the artists/labels.

Proposing a balance between electronic textures and organic sounds, adding strong elements of hip-hop, abstract beats and the refined and cultured sound of jazz, Radiocuts quickly drew attention for his first album 'Abstract Message'.

"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)


Hell Yeah Recordings, a descendent of leading Italian dance label Mantra Vibes is an Italian-based electronic music label active since 2006. Releasing from Ferrara, Bologna, and Amsterdam and led by Marco Gallerani “peeDoo” (A&R), the label bases its philosophy on a diversity of artists and recording experiences tied together by a common vision of what defines quality progressive recording. 

With a sound as diverse as the artists it represents, Hell Yeah does not limit itself to the constraints of genre but packs a complex palette of sounds ranging from techno to minimal-nu-rave to electro-funk and tech house.  Artists as varied as Radio Slave, Santos, Umek, Oliver Koletzki, Congorock, 3iO, Crimea X and the mighty Balearic Gabba Sound System have helped establish Hell Yeah’s eclectic sound, a distinct take on party music loaded with a sonic Balearic feel good vibe that has made press around the world hail Hell Yeah as a label to watch, always

Hell Yeah aims to build upon its current reputation as a leading Italian Electronic Music play, overseeing the release of a series of progressive productions that straddle genres, defy conventions and blur barriers between listening and dance music. Stemming from Hell Yeah’s initial graphic identity formed by Neverending’s Rocco “the Boghe” Pezzella, new mind-bending web and label artworks from Italian artist Andrea Amaducci and the Berlin-based Ice Cream For Free collective promises complete visual as well as aural stimulation.
