Yolanda Be Cool

Yolanda Be Cool is an Australian electronic duo consisting of Andrew Stanley and Matthew Handley, who emerged from the vibrant Sydney club scene in 2009. They achieved massive international success with the 2010 single 'We No Speak Americano', a collaboration with DCUP that sampled Renato Carosone.

This track became a cornerstone of the 'electro swing' movement, though the duo has since evolved into a more versatile house act. Their sound identity is built on a foundation of 'creative and groovy' house, frequently incorporating world music influences, particularly Afro-house rhythms and Latin percussion. Critically, they are respected for maintaining a sense of playfulness and kitsch without sacrificing high-quality production standards. They are closely associated with the Sweat It Out! label, which they helped bring to prominence. Their career arc shows a transition from novelty-adjacent sample hits to a more sustainable, respected position in the global house and tech-house circuit, frequently appearing on festival lineups worldwide. Their influence is felt in the way modern producers approach 'vintage' sampling within a contemporary 4/4 club context.
