Field Trip 76: Yolanda Be Cool
"In a world of inflated egos and outrageous demands, Yolanda Be Cool, aka Bondi boys Andy and Matt, have kept their feet on the ground and let their music do the talking.
The unavoidable worldwide No. 1 breakthrough track, 'We No Speak Americano' sold more than 5 million copies and amassed more than 200 million YouTube views. Their critically-acclaimed album 'Ladies and Mentalmen' released on DIM MAK in 2013 featured indigenous Australian icon Gurrumul, house royalty Crystal Waters and Barbara Tucker, soul legend Betty Wright and up-n-coming rap star Nola Darling. They even co-own/A&R for the seminal Australian record label Sweat It Out, home to artists such as RÜFÜS, What So Not, and Motez.
They make sample heavy party music that's fun for the clubs but equally at home on the radio. They cross-over, but they don't sell out. And while they are down with playing in front of 90,000 people in Morocco as a guest of the king, they are equally at home in a small basement. Underground cool. Pop sensibility. It's a rare combination that the guys have mastered and is why they constantly surprise with their eclectic, housed up dj sets worldwide.
