La Violetera (Veilchenverkäuferin) wurde 1914 von José Padilla Sánchez komponiert. Der Text stammt von Eduardo Montesinos. Die bekannteste und umstrittenste aber gleichzeitig eine der schönsten Interpretationen hört man als Soundtrack für Charly Chaplins City Lights (1931). José Padilla gewann eine Klage gegen Chaplin, der ihn nicht gebührend als Urheber der Melodie ausgab.

La Violetera  wurde als Auftragskomposition für das Orchester des Casino de Paris als Couplet komponiert und als Habanera aufgeführt, zuallererst von Consuelo Portela (La Chelito). Weitere bekannte Interpreten sind Monserrat Caballé, Nana Mouskuri (Weiße Rosen aus Athen), Connie Francis (Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero), Barbra Streisand, Gene Hackman, Jean-Claude Tramont und viele andere.

Tribute To José - Volumen Dos

Hell Yeah is delighted to be releasing a new album from South Wales' Secret Soul Society. Keep The Mystique is a 15-track collection of brand new curveball cuts built from lovingly sourced samples that arrives digitally and on a limited edition cassette that will follow in autumn.

The Secret Soul Society is Cal Gibson, who was one-half of Nottingham's deep house and downtempo outfit Neon Heights back in the 2000s. They served up plenty of low-key but classic sounds which Hell Yeah founder Marco has always had a real love. Since then, Gibson has released on Paper Wave Recordings and dropped an album on Slightly Transformed Recordings and co-founded Scruffy Soul Recordings while continuing to collect and play anything from the worlds of jazz, funk, Afro, beats, dub, soul and reggae. The Secret Soul Society digs into these same sound worlds and reworks them into new musical collages with a psychedelic edge, as proven by this new collection.

Bella Balearica Vol XLV

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.

"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.

PLASTIC FANTASTIC is the alias of Oslo/Norway-based DJ and producer John Clements. Originally formed as a duo with Eirik Wulff-Engh in 2012, Eirik decided to step away from the partnership in 2020 leaving John to continue Plastic Fantastic as a solo project.

Plastic Fantastic’s first record ‘Here Comes The Sun' was released on Spanish label Our Nights Recordings in November 2014. The digital bundle included remixes from Dynamicron, Ilya Santana and Beatfanatic. Response to their debut was favorable with music blog Como Las Grecas offering a particularly warm review of the record. Remix-wise, the Ilya Santana remix faired particularly well, making it into the Top Ten on the Traxsource Essential 
Nu Disco/Indie Dance Chart just two weeks after release. Plastic Fantastic agreed to license the Beatfanatic remix of​ 'Here Comes The Sun' ​for an exclusive 12" vinyl release on Aficionado Recordings. Released in July 2015, the record reached the Number Two spot on Juno Records Vinyl Singles Chart,​ a​s well as Number Five in the Balearic/Downtempo Chart. It was Bestseller Of The Week and Piccadilly Records Genre Pick Of The Week. 
The record enjoyed heavy rotation and strong support, particularly from Coyote,​ Kenneth Bager (Music For Dreams) and Faze Action.

In 2017 Plastic Fantastic was invited to work with Sally Rodgers (A Man Called Adam) for a vinyl-only release on Balearic Social Records. The collaboration resulted in the Sola EP, a split release with Coyote and Calle Gravina. The record received great reviews, and Piccadilly Records Genre Pick Of The Week for the second time.

The boys signed with Ibiza-based label NuNorthern Soul in 2019 and released 'Reflections Of The Sun', a two-track EP which had taken almost five years to complete. The record was released under the duo's new Mirage-alias. Shortly after, Endless Ocean' followed, appearing on the LP Summer Selections One, featuring brand new tracks from Nick J Smith and Bonnie & Klein. The LP received strong support, particularly from Chris Coco, DJ Nova, S/A/M, Steve KIW and David Pickering (One Million Sunsets Radio Show), and the record became something of a sunset staple at La Torre in Ibiza that summer.

Recorded between May 2020 - June 2021 and released one year later on French label Golden Forest Records, 'Dusk' currently stands as the final studio project in which the boys wrote, produced and collaborated on together. The record, which included a remix by Rune Lindbæk, is arguably the duo's finest work, with reviewers drawing parallels to Tangerine Dream and The Future Sound Of London.

Based in Toulouse (France), digger, DJ, dancer... and above all : Groove lover !

One half of the dynamic duo Radio Pauseroni. Techno and Chillout stuff. If it fits the vybe it will be played.
