Neon Talk Official Playlist - Part 1


As ever with the Hell Yeah crew, there is an interesting back-story to the label’s next release, the ambitiously titled Coast to Coast EP. Firstly, the title refers to the fact that Justin VanDerVolgen hails from the east and Doc Martin the west coast of America, but that’s not all…

The label boss first heard Alexander Robotnick’s Undicidisco*track in a set by Golf Channel associate *Justin Vandervolgen. He went to ask what it was and turns out the track had only been released digitally. Keen to give it the full release it deserved on wax, he fully licensed it and got a remix from the man who first played it, as presented here. So far it’s done well, with Running Back boss Gerd Janson playing it recently at P-Bar – of, course it went down a storm... and Beats In Space's Tim Sweeney shouting "This is the Jam"... wow

The track itself is seven minutes of playfully droning bass synths and boom-bap percussion. It’s alive with darting synth tweaks and twitches and races through outer space at an inviting pace, radiating good time vibes from start to finish.

It’s a similar story with the flip – Hell Yeah’s Marco heard one of his (and dance music in general) heroes, Doc Martin, playing the Florian Meindl's bass driven original mix and immediately wanted to give it a full release, but not before asking Doc for a remix.

That remix is released here and is a heavyweight, shuffling bit of house funk with a tight, knotted and tumbling bass refrain propping up soaring diva vocals and grainy, infectious claps. It’s a wavy and hugely inviting groove that has plenty of lip-curling attitude to it.

A fine release with a great backstory that comes complete with great vinyl artwork designed by Andrea Amaducci, this Coast to Coast EP is yet another fine weapon in the Hell Yeah cannon.

NEWS : Our song Cccan't you See is in the 2nd series of Halt and Catch Fire. It is featured in Episode 8, which was aired in the USA on the 19th of July 2015. For those of you who are not familiar with the series here is a brief description..

From AMC Studios, Halt and Catch Fire captures the rise of the PC era in the early 1980s, during which an unlikely trio — a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy — take personal and professional risks in the race to build a computer that will change the world as they know it. While charting the changing culture of Texas' Silicon Prairie, tensions build within the group as they attempt to navigate the thin line between visionary and fraud, genius and delusion, and as their drive to do something that matters runs up against their ability to truly innovate. The 10-episode series is created by Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers and executive produced by showrunner Jonathan Lisco (Southland) and Gran Via Productions’ Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Rectify, Diner, Rain Man) and Melissa Bernstein (Breaking Bad, Rectify). The series stars Lee Pace (Lincoln, Pushing Daisies) as Joe McMillan, Scoot McNairy (Argo) as Gordon Clark, Mackenzie Davis (Smashed) as Cameron Howe, Kerry Bishé (Argo, Red State) as Donna Clark, and Toby Huss (Cowboys & Aliens) as John Bosworth.

“Kings of the Mountains 1.0″ recorded in 2011. This version of the track is an instrumental, based on the racing ascent and descent by road bicycles of a mountain that has featured in the Tour De France. This was developed from Brian’s experience of cycling some of the mountains that feature in the Grand Tour, Mont Ventoux in Provence, being, especially awe inspiring to him.

Lots of the sounds used are recorded from bikes, mapped out onto samplers, then played on keyboards. The first version of the track was uploaded to Youtube july 2012, to coincide with the start of that Years Tour De France. 

A new mix was made especially for the Tour De France Grand Depart from Leeds UK in 2014. It was recorded in September 2013, featuring Claudio Kron on bike percussion, (no samples). “Kings of the Mountains 2.X” is an extended version with vocals and tempo changes relative to ascent, descent and racing finish. “Kings of the Mountains 2.X” has now been uploaded to Soundcloud.
