Awakenings EP by La Guardia De La Luz
Mexican DJ and producer La Guardia De la Luz is to serve up the final Hell Yeah release of the year. Awakenings is a digital collection of long and lazy, stoned and psychedelic Balearic beats for the headz.
La Guardia De la Luz can do everything from timeless house to introspective grooves and has been doing so for years on labels like Paper Recordings and Sum Over Histories. Here he serves up some sumptuous desert island sounds, starting with the slow house beats and heavy dub styles of ‘Awakenings.’
‘A Starfish Named Acid’ then bathes you in more cuddly drum rotations while dropping in cosmic synths and mellow 303s.
‘Amatista’ (Playa Sudamericana Mix) features Chris Koehn on guitar and picks up the pace with a fat and funky bassline and tropical percussion, while the LGDLL ESP Yacht Mix is built on loose broken beats with sunny, airy chords that take you to paradise.
Lastly, ‘Cuarzo Humo’ (El Ambiente Mix) is a steamy and humid jungle soundtrack with exotic percussion and the sound of gently breaking waves.
This is pure escapist heaven.

"If you didn't know, Hell Yeah is the Italian label hell-bent on releasing the best modern disco(ish) you can find. Sometimes it's blissed out and Balearic, sometimes it's squelchy and down-right weird and sometimes it's the sort of elongated, tribal stuff that works dancefloors into a salacious frenzy" DJ MAG
