Description

Hell Yeah call upon their merry crew of grown up groove makers to revisit key tracks from Quiroga’s widely acclaimed Passages album, with Whodamanny, Jazz N Palms, A Vision of Panorama and My Friend Dario all stepping up.

The original album was noted as Piccadilly Records’ Best Balearic Album of 2019 and a year on is still providing solace for us in these strange times. First to add his own spin to it is Periodica associate Whodamanny from Naples, whose magical take on ‘Martinica Feelings’ made it onto the excellent recent Buena Onda compilation, which is out now. It is a big hearted vocal reinterpretation filled with stomping kicks and twisted synths that bring the funk next to withering sci-fi effects and happy piano chords.

Then, up steps man of the moment Jazz N Palms, a resident at the cult Ibiza venue Pikes and regular at London’s Ronnie Scotts. He has recently started his own self titled label and here offers a mad Latin jazz take on ‘Africa Addio’ that brims with energy and sunshines. The busy percussion will make you move your ass and the whole thing has a sexy 70s vibe.

Saint Petersbourg’s very own balearic legend A Vision of Panorama is hailed as the king of the modern balearic sound thanks to EPs on labels like Omena. He takes care of ‘The Zoist’ with sentimental melodies and sunset grooves to die for. His arching pads speak to the soul and melt the heart.

Last of all, Hell Yeah’s very own discovery My Friend Dario (who soon has an EP coming on NuNorthern Soul, recently remixed Calm and Gallo) tackles ‘Chiaia Sunset’. The result is a laidback and cathartic track that slowly unfolds on tumbling drums and wooden hits as synths leave vapour trails high up in the clear blue sky above.

Tracklist:
A1 – Martinica Feelings (Whodamanny Reinterpretation) (5:16)
A2 – Africa Addio (Jazz N Palms Remix) (6:42)
B1 – The Zoist (A Vision Of Panorama Remix) (5:17)
B2 – Chiaia Sunset (My Friend Dario Remix) (7:31)
