Quite a special one here! Wonderfully deep and emotive compas from one of the leading groups in the genre. Some of the best instrumentation you can find in Antillean music... with sumptuous sax solos, triumphant trumpet sections, sweet keys and beautiful vocals. A real gem that has been working excellently as a powerful closing track recently. 

Not an easy edit given that the track is not quantised, making  looping difficult. Nevertheless I did my best to make a more DJ friendly intro taken from the middle of the track. The original vocal intro is lovely, however the minute or so afterwards as well as the last minute in the original I think loose a bit of the impact and drama that makes it so good on the dancefloor. Therefore as wel as some other rearrangements, they've been cut out from the edit. Feel free to listen to the great original version on Cedric Woo's 'Cookies and Berries' youtube channel (I also bought the record from him, hence this edit is likely made from the same copy!).

Hope you enjoy this one - I think it's special. Shoutout to Dijon's Under Radaar for the tip :)

lets see what we can discover in this world of mass destruction ^603^

My name is Hans and I am a Rotterdam based DJ called All Hans On Deck. 
When i was 16 years old, I had my first job in a record store called Free Record Shop. this is where my love for music has developed. Since then I collect music from all kinds of different genres and especially from different countries around the world. As a dj, I like to glue music together without genre boundaries... as long as it is danceable and accessible to everyone. Good vibe music from Disco to Zouk and from Arabic funk to Afrobeat.

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 ❤️
