A Major Afternoon Delight

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.

🎶 Freestyle session – no playlist, just memory.

A raw, unfiltered journey back to 1988–1991. These are the records that shaped me. No plan, no edits. Just UK breakbeat energy, recorded in one take.

🌀 Featuring: A Guy Called Gerald, 808 State, Shut Up & Dance, The Hypnotist, and more...
💾 RE//SIGNAL PROJECT ARCHIVE – restoring rave memory through transmission.

📍 Originally played live 35+ years ago. This is not a tribute. This is a recall.


Here’s a curated selection of classic UK breakbeat tracks from 1988–1991, that I originally played back in 88-91 myself,  focusing on foundational tunes that shaped the sound between acid house, rave, and early jungle/hardcore:

🇬🇧 UK BREAKBEAT CLASSICS (1988–1991)

1988
A Guy Called Gerald – Voodoo Ray
Haunting acid line meets broken house rhythm — iconic Manchester track.

808 State – Pacific State
Laid-back breakbeat groove with a jazz-like sax melody; became a rave anthem.

1989
Unique 3 – The Theme
Yorkshire bass and breakbeats; one of the earliest proto-breakbeat rave tracks.

Shut Up and Dance
Raw social commentary over looped breaks — pure pirate radio energy.

Baby Ford – Oochy Koochy (F.U. Baby Yeh Yeh)
Quirky and stripped-down acid breakbeat hybrid.

Bang the Party – Release Your Body
Deep groove meets early UK rave soul.

1990
Shut Up and Dance – Derek Went Mad
Breakbeats collide with ragga samples — laying groundwork for jungle.

LFO – LFO (Leeds Warehouse Mix)
Not strictly breakbeat, but defined the UK bass & warehouse sound.

Nightmares on Wax – Dextrous
Bleep meets break — legendary Warp Records release.

Mantronix – King of the Beats (UK Rave Circulation)
US roots, but massive UK influence in early rave circuit.

1991
2 Bad Mice – Bombscare
Hardcore staple — filtered breakbeat patterns with rave stabs.

Acen – Trip II the Moon (Part 1)
Cut-up samples, euphoric breaks, and pads — cornerstone of the hardcore sound.

The Scientist – The Exorcist
Early jungle vibe, combining dub FX, breaks, and eerie samples.

Sonz of a Loop Da Loop Era – Far Out
Ragga samples + fast breaks + rave stabs = blueprint for hardcore/jungle.

Nebula II – Atheama
Dark, spacious breaks with early jungle undertones.

T-BASS // RE//SIGNAL – TRIPPIN ON (UK Breakbeat 1988–1991 Freestyle Session)

Many lesser obvious mid 80s cuts, and many underground classics running quickly through the BPMs Recorded live in one take with no edits and no sync button

80s Hip Hop & Electro is a huge part of my collection that I very rarely get the chance to play out so this was really satisfying to put together. Pic taken of me in 1985 with my mobile disco.

Pete Bromley - Mid 80s Hip Hop & Electro recorded live 25-6-25

Pete Bromley has been Stoke On Trent's top House DJ since 1989 and it has been an interesting and varied journey for him! Resident DJ at Stoke's first successful Underground Dance night 'Introspective' back in 1989 he went on to play at the infamous Shelleys Laserdome as well as other influential clubnights across the UK. Pete's next residency was to be at the Freetown in Hanley which would see him play alongside DJ's like Sasha & Dave Seaman. This would become the stepping stone to his next residency, the legendary Golden. Pete was the main resident DJ at Golden for an amazing 11 years which saw him play with the worlds biggest DJ's bar none. During this time he played many guest appearances at places such as Cream, Renaissance, Ministry Of Sound and DJ magazine listed him as one of the most popular resident DJ's in the world, resulting in his Essential Mix live on Radio 1 alongside Pete Tong at Sankeys in 1996. Quite an accolade seeing as he has never bolstered his career with international gigs, remixes or a recording career as 99% of producer/DJ's do these days. After Golden's demise In 2003, Pete then went on to become one of the resident DJ's at Satchmo's which has now become part of Stoke clubbing folkelore and his position has been cemented over the last years as resident DJ for the Move and their parties at The Sugarmill, Spode Warehouse & The Underground  playing alongside Jamie Jones, Patrick Topping, Solardo, Skream, Annie Mac, Derrick Carter, Pete Tong, MK, Todd Terry, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Steve Lawler, Hot Since 82, Eats Everything, Darius Syrossian,Micheal Bibi, Alan Fitzpatrick, wAFF,  Dimitri From Paris, Kenny Dope, Low Steppa, Dan Shake amongst dozens of House musics elite. You can catch Pete at Back In The Day, Blue Collar Disco & Move events @ The Underground/Sugarmill Hanley, Stoke On Trent to see for yourself why he's been at the top of his game for all these years and still going strong!

"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.
