aurasafari.bandcamp.com/album/island-dreams-remixe… Aura Safari's richly immersive Island Dreams album has been remixed by a selection of artists close to Hell Yeah. Ahead of them releasing their own originals on the label in 2025, SIRS, Calm, Dawn Again, Secret Soul Society and Aura Safari themselves all contribute to the collection which is out on 14 March. First up, Japanese downtempo hero Calm offers up a signature Mellow Mellow Acid remix and dub version of 'Sur Mon Balconnet' that is smooth and zoned out as cosmic synths and gentle acid loops ripple next to whimsical reeds. New Balearic beat boss My Friend Dario's take on 'Riserva Naturale' is a percussive tropical jumble with lots of open space for deep thinking. Sirsounds Records label head SIRS returns to the label after his Woman EP earlier this year. He flips 'Wave Riding' into a loose-limbed and funky sound with 80s pads and well-treated vocal hooks. He also adds his own snappy drums and ass-wiggling basslines to 'Disco Mantra'. Dawn Again dropped his widely acclaimed 'pubwave' album last year and has already backed it up with more escapist originals in 2025. His version of 'Wave Riding' casts you free from land and floats you out to sea on a raft of rubbery bass and widescreen synths. Secret Soul Society aka Cal Gibson, one-half of Nottingham's deep house and downtempo outfit Neon Heights back in the 2000s, steps up to rework 'Dancing in the Moonlight'. It's a dubbed out Afro disco number with playful horns and wobbly rhythms. Elsewhere Aura Safari rework several of their own originals with new dub versions that bliss them out for ever deeper dance floor trips. This collection brings an array of new yet sympathetic perspectives to the still magical originals.
