Yolanda Be Cool are the latest craze to come from Down Under! Made up of Sylverster Martinez and Johnson Peterson, they teamed up with fellow Aussie DCUP (Duncan MacLennan) to create the overnight international success, “We No Speak Americano”. Released on a small independent Australian label run by house legend Ajax, it uses a sample from an old Italian song penned in 1956 by Renato Carosone and Nicola Salemo entitled ‘Tu Vio Fa L’americano’.
Yolanda Be Cool’s first releases were two tracks in 2009 called “Afro Nuts” and “Holy Cow”. Soon after remixing “Afro Nuts”, DCUP joined the pair and three began collaborating. They would describe their style as a cross between serious techno and fun afro-beat party music and state “Heater” by Samim and “The Whistler” by Claude von Stroke as the two tracks that blew them away, “the perfect blend of party and techno”. Having knuckled down and found the sound they wanted, they moved on to creating their hit “We No Speak Americano”. However you want to describe them, whether it be “party-tech”, “tropical-tech” or even “midget house”, you can’t deny that their style does what it says on the tin, and the world seems to agree! “We No Speak Americano” has gone to number one in most European countries, including Belgium, Finland, German, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Romania, and the UK. It has also conquered a few South American countries as well, including Argentina and Brazil, and reached platinum in Denmark. These days, the boys are finishing off an EP as well as continuing their overly successful collaboration with DCUP to create their follow up to “We No Speak Americano”! Stay locked people, you never know what these two Aussies are going to come up with next!
