about

Hell Yeah's special Record Store Day release for June 12th 2021 finds instrumental duo Cacao serving up unique cover versions of classic tracks by Robert Miles and Kaoma.

Cacao is an instrumental duo (as well as being part of ActionMen, a cult Italian punk rock band formed in 2000) who play electric guitar and bass on their native North-East coast of Italy. They make sounds usually produced on drum machines with their instruments and so build a bridge between the synthetic and more human sides of electronic music, with added emotional edge and extra personal connections. The pair put out a fine full length Astral in 2016 on the Brutture Moderne label and always mix up kraut and techno, bluesy guitar twangs, dub and afro flavours and 808s pop and prog structures in their own unique style.

These magical tunes came about when Cacao met with Marco on the beach in Marina di Ravenna and revealed they were working on a cover of Lambada, a huge 90s hit by the celebrated Kaoma band. From this came the idea to put out a special 7" with two covers was born. It was decided that Robert Miles's dream-trance classic 'Children' was a great fit because it is part of the dance heritage of the 90s and was a staple of the party scene on the local Riviera. "Marina di Ravenna was our Ibiza and we are happy that it was so," says the pair, adding that the coming together of Cacao and the Balearic flavour of Hell Yeah is a perfect match made on a sun kissed, blissed out beach in high summer.

Their excellent take on 'Lambada' slowly awakens through echoing guitar riffs that ring out to the skies. Brighter acoustic riffs bring worldly vibes and as the whole thing washes over you its gorgeously emotional and uplifting. The magical 'Children' is another perfect slow burner, where the iconic main riff is warped under a hot sun and pulsing bass drives it along below. Both are fantastic reinterpretations of bonafide classics.

This is a dynamite 7" packed with invention and grown up good times.

about

Cacao Ravenna, Italy

Cacao is an instrumental duo ,electric guitar and bass, from Ravenna taly.
The sound of Cacao is a weird mix between the obsessiveness of the kraut and techno beat ,the bluesy and twang guitars , dub and afro colors , the glitter of the the 80's pop and prog, that like streams converge in a big delta where the classical music structures are deconstructed , infected , distorted. ... more
