monday mixtape: balearic gabba sound system

monday is the new sunday

January 24 2016 by Stefan

You’ve probably heard or read the name more than once, but you have absolutely no idea who and what the Balearic Gabba Sound System is? Here’s a list of their influences to help you out:

Kiss, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Preben Larsen Elkjaer, Enzo Baruffaldi, Dave Dorrell, Tim Simenon, John Belushi, Isola Posse All Stars, Kalapodis, DJ Ricci, Dinosaur JR, NOFX, Gianni Parrini, Mauro Boris Borella, Blur/Oasis, Mark Jones, Sante Pucello, Earvin Magic Johnson, Chuck Person, Chuck Norris, Chuck Castoro, Ciao Fellini, Jumbo, Michael Cretu, Tex Winter, the Zuckers, MoWax, John Landis, Tayo, Skiantos, Derek Dahlarge, Atlas Records Shop, Moonboots, Lorenzo Mangani, Vincenzo Esposito, Osvaldo Bagnoli, Club UK, Oliver Koletzki, Bjorn Torske, Kenji Takimi, Ivan Smagghe, Cleveland Brown, ...

Add the fact that it’s a nonsense dream team consisting of Hell Yeah Recordings’ label boss Marco „PeeDoo“ Gallerani, Enzo Elia, Everest Parisi, E-the-Hot, DJ Ca$h, Gallo and Bjorn Torske, a bunch of DJs and producers with a common love for sonically weird, feel good, bona fide recordings with a twist you’ll have an even more diffuse picture now. But that’s absolutely going into the right direction as the Balearic Gabba Sound System is exactly like that: a genre-free nebula filled with laughing gas giants and solid rocks somewhere in the tasty area of the music universe. No more, no less.

After a good bunch of mouthwatering edits and sets the first BGSS output of original music, simply named EP is out now of Golf Channel Recordings... more to follow apparently.

BGSS very own edit master Enzo Elia has just approved a new 12" of balearic dancefloorness to be released on Hell Yeah (BGSS Spring Edits EP), while a remix for Steve Cobby - Clamour on Secret Life Music is also due soon too.

Also out now is a collab between Balearic Gabba Sound System/ Enzo Elia and Terrible - our long time buddy and lifetime member of the Lodown posse - by the name of Acid Neukölln
