Hell Yeah, this time in collaboration with DJ Ralf's Laterra Recordings, is a label you can always rely on to come up with some interesting musical projects, and that is exactly the case here: the Italian outlet's next releases are two balearic tinged remixes of a popular Italian chant, Bella Ciao, by Brooklyn troupe Underground System released on a 12" and a 10" vinyl, remixes come from Leo Mas & Fabrice, and stunning artwork by Andrea Amducci inspired by Guttuso's Funerale di Togliatti.
This new project came about after Leo Mas played the afro-beat original cover on his Boiler Room set in Ibiza and made it a bonafide balearic nu-classic, legend Alfredo loved it so much he requested a copy, which lead the label to get official rights for its release.
Originally, Bella Ciao is actually a partisan Italian song created during the cicvil war that is a hymn of freedom and resistance.
Here it is flipped into two tantalisingly feel good disco anthems by Leo Mas & Fabrice, one with vocals and one all dubbed out.
Leo Mas is a true legend, who was there at the start of the Ibiza revolution in the 80s.
He played at Amnesia with Alfredo and since has pioneered a house and balearic sound on many different labels.
Fabrice is another Italian with long standing disco roots who, along with Leo and Andrea Gemolotto, was part of La Magica Triade and now releases/remixes on labels like Is It Balearic?, Golf Channel, Music For Dreams
The vocal version is full of gentle tumbling toms, cute guitar riffs and rolling bass.
The exquisite vocal chants up top add plenty of joyous vibes to the already summery beats and then it just rolls and rolls, making you shake your behind and swing your hips as it goes.
The dub version is deeper and more low slung, with more emphasis on the drums and the elastic, lazy grooves.
