An edit pays tribute to the original by trimming and rearranging the song in a way that it works for today's dancefloor or listening habits. 

Delfonic and Mendel are two outspoken specialists in this and understand the edit craft like no one else. For almost twenty years, Delfonic has been running Oye Records, a record store known far beyond the city limits of Berlin, and therefore knows very well which records and tracks go down best with whom and how. 

Always on the look out for that heartfelt connection, Mendel doesn’t cater to the fist pumpers, but rather the loving, open-minded and upbeat. His sets are peppered with diverse influences, from Chicago’s (ware)house pioneers to Amsterdam’s soulful school of DJs. He carefully orchestrates dance floor experiences by selecting tunes based on the emotion they evoke. A steady flow of mixtapes and Mendel’s Melodies, his regular show on Red Light Radio, provide a platform for Mendel to share his mellower side, capturing hearts by interweaving soulful classics with silky rarities from all corners of the musical landscape.

Notes On A Journey has therefore decided to make use of the services of the two DJs and to take two songs from their own, meanwhile extensive catalog under the magnifying glass, respectively the scalpel.

On the one hand there are two new editions of Germannu's «Fale De Mim» and one edit each for «Marcação» and «Pé na Estrada» by Valéria. Four times the very finest in soulful Brazilian pop music as one is now almost used to from Notes On A Journey. 

«Fale De Mim» by Germannu, by the way, originally appeared in 1984 on the EP «Germannu» and was released in September 2020 by NOAJ as a lavish reissue. 

The 4-track 7inch «Pé na Estrada» by Valéria originally came out in 1983 on the Brazilian label PPA (Paladar Produções Artisticas) and was re-released by NOAJ in November 2020.

With «NOAJ Edits 01», a first absolute must-have edits package was put together. And as the title suggests, the series will continue in the following months with more highlights from the NOAJ catalog.

We are delighted to announce that July 2023 is the month in which you will finally be able to know the new Apparel Wax product: Apparel Wax Mini. The Mini catalogue (dedicated to 7-inch vinyl) fits into the narrative of our masked hero as a sort of prequel, as the 'Mini' vinyl represents the ‘childhood’ of Apparel Wax, his life before its music started to be heard around the world. Another novelty is that the first release is double. In fact, APLWAXMINI001 and 002 will drop on the same day, both containing two tracks, one on each side. With a physical product of different size, we have also adapted the graphic design of the project, as you’ll notice looking at the record. A new adventure begins in the world of the masked artist who, this time, will tell another musical story created by the now famous anonymous collective of phenomenal artists behind the project. APLWAXMINI001 is composed of two tracks perfect for the summer period, both with a very marked essence of lightness and groovy, both ideal to bring back the carefree and cheerful musical soul at the base of the project since its origins. We’re also back with Wax’s characteristic gift kits, which from now on will be strictly green and recyclable.

Le Commandant Cool ! Fournisseur de Mixtape, de pépites, d'artistes locaux, de #FOXLIST et des soirées du #FOXCLUB. 

Commandant Cool, ou le maître intemporel des fêtes déjantées et de la roublardise.

Commandant Cool est un DJ Nantais, originaire du magnifique département du Morbihan, il s'est fait la main (musicalement parlant) lors de fest-noz ou lors de soirées pluvieuses sur les plages de bretagne.

Maintenant il régale les aficionados lors de soirées très sélectes, connues uniquement des milieux handballistiques et électriques de l'agglomération Nantaise, ou il distille avec harmonie et bon goût des musiques modernes ou anciennes, ou seul compte d'atteindre le summum du Nirvana musical, tout cela au Fox Club, le plus secret des lieux de fête Nantais.

Tel un guerrier de la musique, il ne cessera de se battre toute la nuit durant, pour satisfaire les oreilles des plus récalcitrant des auditeurs les plus sceptiques.
