Edit by @enterthelloyd

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.

Brian Davis - Everybodys Got to Learn Sometime (Lloyds Eyes Wide Rework)

Just a mashup between two of the tracks off this album to get rid of the god awful singing, if anyone wants it

Late 80s Acid House from Beat Kick edited by Tucan Discos. Enjoy;)

Becket - Celebration (Merchant Dance Edit)

Edit of 'Makosmurf' by Jimmy & Fredo from their 1985 release. Cameroonian musicians Jimmy Mvondo Mvele and Fredo Tete combine to produce a record filled with afro zouk crossovers. With this digi makossa heater being the standout of the album for me. The soukous break is reduced and the intro extended for maximum dancefloor effect!! Hope you enjoy x

Jimmy & Fredo - Makosmurf (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

A shortened, retweaked version of Megatonk's 1992 prog banger 'Belgium'! Megatonk was an alias of prolific UK dance music producer, Charles Webster. 

Tree Tree Tree OK

Megatonk - Belgium (Good Block Edit)

Nanda Rossi - Mil Corações (Max Hammur Edit)

Projection - Heart & Soul (1989) 🇬🇧

A sultry, proto-house number with lyrics reminiscent of early 80s boogie, and a rhythm section conjuring that golden 90s aesthetic.

This is the lead track from a small compilation of edits of tracks we discovered over the summer. 

When the recent conflict broke out between Israel & Gaza, we felt uncomfortable promoting some random edits we made from the safety of our bedrooms when so many people are suffering.

All proceeds from the sale of these edits will go to Save the Children Gaza and to Save the Children Ukraine, who are operating to help those most at need during these tough times.

Please enjoy...
