July 2021: Eclectics release The Outside/Suburbia by James Bright 

James Bright returns to Eclectics with his first original material since February 2020. The world is a different place these days and The Outside/Suburbia is very much an EP for the times.

Bright offers up two new original tracks that marry tension and release, optimism and reminiscence, the past and the present. Opener The Outside makes a dash for the dancefloor with a linear, laser-guided focus. A driving, dark disco throb, it’s a mid-paced monster that delivers kosmiche class, with soaring vocals and strings sitting against metal-machine rhythms and an irresistible bass backdrop.  

Suburbia treads a similar path – dark, brooding, building… Bright gently folds layer on layer, taking us with him every step of the way as he adds subtle acid flourishes and dynamic rhythmic shifts that lead us in to the middle of a progressive dancefloor with no idea of how we got there and no intention of leaving. 

And the fun doesn’t stop there…The EP also comes with two radical reworks that fix a new, and entirely unexpected focus on these originals.  

First up is Woolfy, who rebuilds The Outside from the ground up. It’s a root and branch rebuild that occasionally offers respectful glimpses of the pre-existing structure – exposed beams poking through the new layers of melody that throw open the windows and flood the place with light. The result is a Balearic beat that still hits hard, but with gentler textures softening the blow. 

Sean Johnston meanwhile, here in his Hardway Bros guise, plunders not just the source material, but also the past in his pursuit of perfection. The result is a tableau tapestry brimming with emotion and breaks for days. Using samples and motifs snatched from deep within our collective unconscious, Johnston gives a knowing nod to nostalgia on his rework of Suburbia. This is no rose-tinted recollection, however. Rather than wallowing in how good things were, it’s a celebration of how good things can be again. 

Eyes wide, facing forward. 


The Outside/Suburbia is released on July/Aug 2021

The first release on our own Bandcamp page is a fine edit of an old classic singing about the White Island.

Guitars, flutes, choirs, and mellow voice serenades his love under an enchanted night on a beach in Ibiza. RB added a few spicy 90's beats and breaks to make this classic tune fit the modern playlists.

This edit had massive support and many asked for this track as we posted a short version in a video on our social media.

We decided to make it a Christmas Present and post it as a free download

PREMIERE : The Balek Band - Balek Zouk

Mexico City resident La Guardia De La Luz is back on Hell Yeah with a new three-track EP, The Magnetic Field, a perfect follow-up from his Awakenings EP back in late 2021. 

This Balearic-not-Balearic artist has been crafting his seductive sounds for many years. From lush deep house to stoner dub via psychedelic beats, he can do it all with a majestic sense of storytelling. This time out he has his sights set firmly on the dance floor as he mixes up breakbeat, reggae and disco. 

'Kingston Technologies' has an irresistibly wiggling dub rhythm. Dusty breakbeats and digi-synths dance around one another as warm chords and jah-inspired vocals drift up top. It's a super fresh tune that sounds like nothing else out there. 

The epic ten-minute workout that is 'Planetary' builds on deep-cut house drums with funky bass playing and louche percussion. It's an early evening classic that will see any floor slowly fill up as people shake their booty to the loose rhythm and get lost in the soulful melodies that grow ever more cosmic. 

Finally, the title track is another nearly 10-minute masterpiece with silky star-gazing arps circling up through the mix over lazy breaks. It's an expansive track with a widescreen design that has you gazing off to the distance and lost in a loved-up deep disco reverie. 

These are three inventive tunes that take you to another world.

La Guardia de la Luz - Kingston Technologies

ARTIST: 		Mushrooms Project
TITLE:		Galattica	
REMIX:		Chicago Damn
CAT#:		JJ009

Release date: 	April 2012


Italian production duo, Mushrooms Project, make their debut on Jansen Jardin with the wonderful, ‘Galattica’. Releases for labels like Under The Shade and Is It Balearic? and remixes for the likes of Tirk, Lipservice and Nang have introduced their blissed-out, Mediterranean sound to fans around the world.

Galattica is 11 minutes and 45 seconds of high plains drifting, dream disco for late night drives and sunset sessions. A lush combination of Euro disco arpeggios and West Coast guitars spill out across a landscape of live percussion, bass and dub acrobatics. This is the soundtrack to a Spaghetti Western set in Ibiza. A Fistful of Cervezas.

The remix comes courtesy of the mighty Chicago Damn who has been responsible for some extraordinary music from his debut on Mark E’s Merc label to releases on Claremont 56 and his own eponymous imprint. Here he re-imagines the original track in the image of Model 500, stripping away the music to a raw machine groove. Dark, atmospheric and undeniably aimed at the floor.

Emotional Rescue returns to the music of Takenoko, the Bordeaux based synth-pop project from 1982-1988, to follow their LP collection L'Amour Est Mon Arme (ERC062), with an EP of remixes from Dresden's cult-like producer, Sneaker DJ. 

The meeting of Takenoko and Sneaker offers a perfect marriage of left field cold wave tones, inventive drum programming and pop lyrics, with a master-mixer, programmer and DJ of today. 

Following releases on cult labels like Uncanny Valley, Rat Life and Frigio as Sneaker and numerous labels such as Macadam Mambo, Bordello A Parigi and Bahnsteig 23 under several pseudonyms, Sneaker first contacted the label after his trance-inducing, drum heavy remix of C Cat Trance , with the suggestion to research an idea to create a reissue / remix project out of a band he had discovered, Takenoko.

This was soon expanded to become a stand-alone album and remixes EP after the discovery in the vaults of a cache of unreleased songs. The breadth of styles found on L'Amour Est Mon Arme is matched with these "Mixes", as Sneaker takes 3 of their singles and indelibly puts his marker on them. 

Starting with his retake of their second single, Lee Harvey Oswald, he reworks their pop ode to the Kennedy tragedy and strips it groove back for a near 9 minute vocal-meets-discodub that lets the lyrical structure remain, before stretching it out and letting the instrumental interplay between keys, guitar and rhythm machines glide before bringing it all back for finale. 

Next, their 1988 single Trans Amor Express is given what is becoming a trademark Sneaker treatment. In a similar vain to his remix of C Cat Trance, here he rips the original apart to extend a single vocal refrain with the raw percussion elements for mind-inducing results. 

Finally, his mix of the anthemic John Wayne is almost gentle in comparison, adding 909 overdubs but letting much of the original stay, showing again a modern mastery of mixing desk technique and craft.
