Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet - Bongo Barns Edit

A PALMA ROCK

Edit by @nicolaskotowicz

About one year after our Vol. 2, clubs and dancing bars were closed again in France. This sad news made us decide to launch again our Edits series, slightly renaming it “Paradise edits”. Fortunately, the good contacts we made through the last year helped us pulling together this new compilation quite fast. First, we had the Brooklyn duo Fundido, part of Earth Beat crew, with whom we had been chatting for quite a while and talked many times about having an edit from then. Then, we asked Sputnik, a DJ from Moscow to join, as we were enchanted by his work for That’s A Steal and his release on Gop Tun records earlier this year. A few days later, Nicolas Kotowicz, another Russian artist, contacted us to share his edit and we thought he would be a perfect addition to the comp. Finally, Latane introduced us to Lloyd with a bunch of edits and we were very keen to include him too.
Here’s the result of their works and a few questions we asked them about their stories and their approach to edits.

Lena D'Água - Tudo Bem (Nicolas Kotowicz Edit)

Karamel - Sensation (Midnight Cheesy Senza Rap Edit)

Hombre - Epifan S

🇮🇹 Italy - 1989

A lesser-known track released in 1989 by the spicy signora, Epifan S. From what we know, this is the only track released by this mysterious but abundantly talented artist! 

An absolutely fire track!

Main track on our Long Hot Summer mini edits compilation...

Time to move (Marcello Giordani Boogie Down Edit)

I built “You’re Gonna Like It, Not a Lot” like a wink you can dance to—deadpan verses, a chanty hook, and a pocket groove that keeps its cool. Think indie dance
 leaning into house
: tight kick, rubbery bass, and dry, talk-sung lines that answer back in a crowd-friendly call-and-response (call and response
). The humour’s straight-faced—“You’re gonna like it / not a lot / but you might like it”—so the production stays minimal and cheeky: clipped claps, slapback bits, a filtered riff that nudges without shouting. It lands for night drives, kitchen raves, or that moment when the party needs a smirk more than a big drop. If you like low-key bops with a side of deadpan humour
, this one’s your sip, not a chug.

You're Gonna Like It, Not a Lot

Surface glows like love
But nothing survives
Venus burns

Mirror skies, no breath to take
Face of light, a heart awake
Close to the flame, I rise again

Venus burns, don’t fall for me
Golden mist, an acid sea
I shine, I blind, I take you whole
Closer than love, deeper control

Mars calls war, I offer fire
Silk on skin, still I remain

Venus burns, don’t fall for me
Golden mist, an acid sea
I shine, I blind, I take you whole
Closer than love, deeper control
Venus burns
Venus burns

I spin the wrong way, I never forget
Pressure crushes but I stay perfect

Venus burns, don’t fall for me
Golden mist, an acid sea
Venus burns
Venus burns

Surface glows like love
But nothing survives
Venus burns
