Description:

Celebrating the timeless art of musical reworks, Hell Yeah Recordings proudly launches The Art of Remix series — a curated collection of some of the best remixes from their roster of label favourites. Kicking off this series is Calm, the Japanese downtempo maestro, offering exclusive, never-before-on-vinyl versions of originals by artists including Cantoma, Aura Safari, DJ Sofa’s Dream Baby Dream, Seahawks, Gallo, Yuichiro Kato, and more.

This release features rich liner notes penned by the esteemed Dr Rob from Ban Ban Ton Ton, with a follow-up volume from Coyote, a Balearic legend, coming soon. Remixing has always been a core element of Hell Yeah’s identity, transforming classic sounds into new contexts and allowing artists to experiment beyond their usual styles. Calm’s laidback approach to Balearic, house, dub, and acid music has made him a revered figure, and this first volume showcases eight reimagined gems that blend euphoria with introspection.

Highlights include his dreamy take on Cantoma's "Way to The Sun" infused with acid drones and chimes, the shimmering "Sur Mon Balconnet" with Spanish guitar and sax, and the energetic "Banana Trance" with breakbeats and Balearic hedonism. Other tracks drift through dubwise atmospheres, dark acid riffs, orchestral strings, jazz elements, and romantic serenades, creating a diverse sonic journey.

The Art of Remix sets a high standard for this series, which will soon feature works from Coyote and Bjorn Torske, a Scandinavian house legend. This collection is perfect for fans of Balearic chill, downtempo grooves, and innovative electronic reworks.
