[PP-UTI-12] HYSTERIC "LOMBARDONI TOOL" (snippets)

By legendary Guedeloupe zouk artist Edith Lefel from her 1988 record 'La Klé' - first of a series of edits me and the Discothèque Tropicale crew are working on, hope you enjoy it x

Edith Lefel - Etiw Doudou (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

Taken from the iconic Hibiscus Records' 1990 release of zouk/reggae fusion band 'Shango'. The Bamboo Beat album is a straight up killer record with 'Irie' being one of my all-time favourite tracks ever put out.

I changed the intro, cut out some parts and rearranged bits to make the breakdown you can hear at 0:31 for example. Hope you enjoy the edit, more to come... :)

Shoutout to my good pal and fellow zouk digging nerd Bedoui for turning me onto the record. It's sadly very rare, I'd love to be able to reissue it on my label 'Discotheque Tropicale' one day so more people could listen to this wonderful work of music x

Shango - Filinn' (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

Taken from the 1992 release on the legendary label 'Debs' from zouk duo Guy Houllier & Yves Honoré. Dug out in Paris from one of the most impressive private collections of Caribbean music I've ever seen - was great to see the record lived up to its impressive artwork... these guys clearly had some style!!

Intro is adjusted to be more club ready with several other tweaks here and there. As always big thanks to anyone who checks this out - I hope you enjoy!

Guyves & Co - Danje (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

Discovered courtesy of our good friend Under Radaar / Arthur - aka the zouk wizard I aspire to be! 

Taken from a truly wonderful 1988 zouk record from Barbados released on the iconic Hibiscus Records. En Nou Alle Zouké is also glorious, but this slower and more emotive track also deserves some serious attention!

Amazing horns, vocals, guitar riffs and melodies - what a Jam. Catch the OG on our Discotheque Tropicale youtube channel - It is amazing! his one has an altered intro, an interlude removed, more horns and is just a but more dancefloor/DJ ready. 

Thanks for checking it out, hope you enjoy x

Fil Pak - Moin Ké Diw (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

A real legend of the game! Jean Philippe Marthély has a huge discography, and since 1981 has been part of the legendary zouk band Kassav'!

The influence of this super-group on music not only in the Caribbean, but also across West Africa and beyond cannot be overstated. The pioneering collective of incredible Antillean musicians basically founded the zouk genre, and Jean Philippe has been a choice vocalist for decades.

This edit I dedicate to my grandmother Lulu. With the title and vocals to me sounding like "To Lulu" especially in the call response chorus, this was immediately the first thought that came to mind. Just like this track she had incredible positive energy and was a force to be reckoned with, may she rest in peace. Thank you to Hunee for the continued inspiration!

I hope you like it - as always if you're reading this and listening to the track.. a huge thank you to you all x

Jean Philippe Marthély - Touloulou (JOSH FB's 2-U Lulu Edit)

Matteo Mussoni and Nicola Zucchi were raised on the disco romance of the 1970s and early 80s. Channelling their shared love of music machines and mirrorballs, the duo founded Sparkling Attitude. Their debut EP draws on the magic of italo disco, the synthesizer soundtracks of the silverscreen and the open stretches of the Italian coastline. “Dov’eri Sabato Sera” recounts the tale of unrequited love; youth, possibility and dashed hopes play out to a crisp rhythm and wistful melodies. Those heart-strained notes then take the limelight for the instrumental version, analogue strings soaring to impassioned heights. The flames keep burning on the flip with “Melodico Romantico”. Disco infused, bold and brazen beats are made-up in dark rouges and effervescent greens as breathy vocals whisper. Mussoni and Zucchi dive deep into their machines for the curtain close. Inspired by Japanese culture, made in Italy, daring key stabs and astral echoes are draped in a late-night groove for this glittering finale. Joyous sounds from a Sparkling Attitude.

Off the back of a deeply inspiring trip immersed in the beauty of Lanzarote, Christophe Salin returns with his latest LP - a softly spoken yet emphatic record that speaks of landscape, sun, sea and the finer things in the rich tapestry of life….

Ever since his first exposure to House music in the 90s, Salin has thrown himself into producing, DJing and all facets of hardware discovery. His initial work on white labels and edits blossomed into the formation of Salin Records, which he has used as an outlet for his recent creative expressions. His sound is firmly established in house traditions, with expert groove lines and melodic sequences being utilized to full effect, but it is his love of equipment which has continued to fuel his desire to explore his sound to the fullest. His tunes are fun, fresh and emotive, bringing together the very best of the genre, with his own personal twist on things riding front and centre throughout his enriching discography.

Whilst Salin draws deeply from house music, his new record ‘Ocean & Cliffs’ draws as deeply from a new source of inspiration - the island of Lanzarote. Following walks through the island’s captivating and dynamic landscapes, Salin was drawn almost to the ‘nothingness’ of space, its quiet and peaceful charm, and as a result, he began work on the bones of ‘Ocean & Cliffs’. When moving through the record there is a sense of Lanzarote’s influence being discovered everywhere - as if turning over rocks on the ground, sifting through sand on the beach, hearing the breeze in the palm trees. There is a soothing energy that can, in many ways, only really be found in nature, where someone is to fully embrace this state of mind and create music based upon these feelings. His new LP has a very natural energy to it, filled with rhythms that echo footsteps through the hills and the notion of being in a space much bigger than a human sense of scale - and that is the beauty of it all, isn’t it?

Record loving selector DJ based in London (and formerly Edinburgh). I love sticking my head in crates and learning more about the amazing music that can be found across the world. 

I'm a bit of retro zouk specialist (checkout my zouk show on My Analog Journal for more) but also have a great interest in soca, highlife, makossa, PALOP music, bubblegum, kwaito, latin freestyle and beyond - I enjoy celebrating globally sourced groovy records to fill dancefloors, and deliver an experience that makes club goers smile while they move

My mission is to spread this wonderful music and the talented artists that contributed to its creation with as many as people as possible! 

I run a clubnight and reissue / edits label along with a few friends called “Discothèque Tropicale”. Music to bring the boogie, fill the floors and put smiles on faces! 

I do the programming for London based radio station LOOSE FM where I also run the radio shows ‘The Listening Bar’ & 'Musical Backpacking' focussing each show and the record digging on a specific genre, theme or area. 

Pls ask for IDs I’ll always give them! Don't be a stranger, drop me a DM on Instagram anytime I always love to connect with fellow music lovers from around the world. Send me music pls 🙌

Music is a universal language with the power to break barriers and bring people together ❤️
