Following the acclaimed Kouté jazz, we are glad to announce our new project compilation with parisian label Heavenly Sweetness in collaboration with afro/antilles record expert Nicolas Skliris. This project, that we introduced in mid February as Digital Zandoli with a limited mixtape, aimed to gather a wide spectrum of tracks from pre zouk era in the french West Indies. We picked 12 slept on tracks amongst piles of obscure caribbean records to show a broader spectrum to the Zouk music style that is poorly defined.  These tracks reveal the merger between traditional and other rhythmic genres (funk, disco, afro-beat, Latin Brazilian …), with the addition of synthesizers and drums machine to the creative process. Original, magnetic and highly danceable.



DIGITAL ZANDOLI - Zouk & Synthetic Funk from the French West Indies - The Official Compilation

Half disco 7 inch and half caffe' corretto, when it comes to leftfield disco sets , golden era deep house and killer programming Andy knows his onions.  A child hood spent listening to Talking Heads, proper 80s UK Indy-pop blended somewhat chaotically with a healthy dose of  Mediterranean sunshine via the sounds of  Adriano Celentano and Pino Daniele, Andy’s formative years covered wide musical bases. 

Misspent teen years in the early 90s, and an insatiable vinyl addiction for underground hip hop, NY house and UK rave records over this period matured into a love of underground disco funk in the late 90s and a vast collection of disco records, leading to present day dj sets which are , without fail, an eclectic selection of  quality underground dance music and wildly varying tempos.  Andy has shared billing with Todd Terje, Greg Wilson, Andy Smith, Phil Mison, The Revenge, Mark E and Balearic Mike and Djed many times at long running disco night Melting Pot in his current home Glasgow.  He has held residencies in Glasgow and London and in these locked-down times can be found on his own show on Radio Magnetic ‘run4cover’ (www.mixcloud.com/radio-magnetic).
