Heya,
Summer tends to be the most quiet of the seasons for record labels. The same goes for Heya Hifi. Right now we are planning for a very exciting fall with new dirty disco releases by Sumo, deep and minimal releases by Bangana, quirky and jazzy releases by Clarisse Muvemba, and a brand new signing: deep house don Florian Kruse!
In the meantime, if you have the chance, we recommend that you try to catch Sumo/Bangana spinning records, or playing live.
You can find their confirmed dates, as well as their latest chart at: myspace.com/sumoandbangana
Speak soon. /Heya Crew
LATEST RELEASE JUNE 4:
• Clarisse Muvemba - Roses (Rmx by Bangana) HEYA1212
EARLY DJ RESPONSE:
Osunlade:
Fucking amazing this song!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna rip it apart at my gigs...GRACIAS
Franck Roger:
Really nice mix, drum is rollin with kind of nice arpegio, quite deep atmosphear !! Will play it for sure.
Paul Woolford:
Thanks so much for sending me this. Sounds great. I’m into Bangana. Nice work gentlemen!
Opolopo:
Lovely! It’s all about the Roses for me. Haunting, dark, cinematic and beautiful. Love the bubbly synths, reversed pads, panned claps and powerful vocals. Rather than early mornings I’d save the remix for a rainy night driving my imaginary Lamborghini Diablo on a deserted Nordic highway...
Rodamaal:
Fantastic Production !! I love all mixes. Bangana turned it in really Groovy Floor Track !! Congratualtion on this release 9/10
HEYA HIFIÂ NEWS MAY
So many roses to Clarisse Muvemba
The debut solo EP from Clarisse Muvemba is getting overwhelming dj-support from the whole camp incl. Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Loco Dice, Franck Roger etc. The release contains the original version of Roses – a futuristic 6/8 jazz take – and a bubblin' minimal remix by Bangana. The flip side holds the mid-tempo Time is Now which reminds us of a
walking mourning ceremony, dark and beautiful at the same time.
So far Clarisse has appeared on various productions, both as backing vocalist, and as lead singer, together with bands like Solution, Thunder Express, Hellacopters, Linn, Sumo and Jazz Experience. Her first solo EP clearly displays the sound of her voice, which takes you back to the Swinging twenties and its dark and smokey jazz clubs. Put against a moreÂ
futuristic back drop it gives you the perfect clash between now and then, organic and artificial, sweet and salty, which glues her voice to your mind.
Check it yourself! Out in the shops 4th of June.

Heya Nights' new summer venue
Since the beginning of the year we've been doing our Heya Nights every second Saturday in Stockholm @ Berns' sophisticated basement 2.35. Our residentsCombo and Alf Tumble (Sumo/Bangana) have created a warm musicallyeclectic atmosphere alongside inivited top scoring dj-friends as Phil Darimont,Rainer Trüby, Señor Lobo, Domu and Karen P. Without pushing it too much our aim with these events are to bring you good music from the very best djs around (not the most famous producers). The following summer months we will continue our mission in the venue next door called China Teatern. This place (also run by Berns) will be hosted by several good club nights during June, July and August, so you'd better pack your bags and reserve a spot today!
Sumo don't sleep – Sumo Disco
Latest news from fellows Sumo are that they are diggin even' deeper into their disco cave, finding pieces of pop and rock. But hey, don't be afraid. We also know they started collaborations with shiny vocalist Juvelen (yes, his latest single was remixed by Sumo). However, since they also spend a lot of time dj-ing, it doesn't come as a surprice that they have formed a new semi-live-perfromance called Sumo Disco. The premier gig features Ayesha and Aaron Phiri with mics in their hands and takes place this friday at Re:publik Festival in Stockholm.
