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)

Seriously dope 1991 release on the South Africa's famous Tusk Records. At the time this label was outputting some of the country's finest music with countless kwaito and bubblegum synth pop bangers to be found!

A unique record as latin vocals and rhythms are infused into the bubblegum synth pop and kwaito sounds. Producing a one of kind killer album. 'La Luna' and 'Working Man' are both huge tunes also!

There was a section in the middle of this that I really wasn't a fan of, the edit aims to maintain the energy a little more, and using the already killer baeline, construct an intro that should be very straightforwards to mix. 

Hopefully does the job! As ever thanks for checking this stuff out... I hope you enjoy it!

El Pedro - Carnaval (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

This ones a biggie! Introducing a new edit from DT residents JOSH FB and Sunni D... Poutchi by Gustave Lefaivre! 

Enjoy!

Mampong Dwa - KIX Edit

ℝ𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕙𝕒𝕞 𝕃𝕖 𝔾𝕣𝕠𝕠𝕧𝕖 Red alert 🚨 Watch out for this truly ridiculous zouk banger! 100% dance-floor heat sure to light up any crowd, this is without doubt one of our favourite ever uploads on the channel. Everything that's magical about zouk is present here, an example of some of the best things this genre has to offer! 

Joyous, yet beautifully bittersweet vocals accompany mind blowing horn sections, with a killer baseline holding the groove. The track refers to 'divine sunshine' which is apt as thats exactly the feeling and imagery this wonderful song elicits

Big credit to monsieur Rackham Le Groove for the all important dig and tweaks to maximise the utility of this DJ tool. The snares in particular are a wonderful addition. We really can't claim too much credit here at DT, we instantly fell in love with RCKHM's first edit, but upon repeat plays decided to loop some horn sections and remove several breaks that we felt didn't maximise the energy and dance-floor effect this wicked track can offer! Plus you can still checkout the initial edit on RCKHM's soundcloud.

Edits Vol 01

Dampness

PREMIERE: Daichi - Dampness

Sunday Night Stroll (Demo)

Classonix are back with another red-hot delivery of smart edits designed for maximum club impact. 'Lilith' marries deep house beats and dreamy roads with exotic international vocals that lend it plenty of spice. 'Coute' is a UK street soul and Afro disco collision with 80s pads that shine bright. 'Hala Hala' is another international delight with summer-ready vocals and an old-school bassline that never quits. 'Shabakni El Hawa' classes out with candied disco-pop and hypnotic vocals over some fresh synth work. A colourful package of sure-fire winners.

One Night (Kix Edit) • [Top Cat Exclusive]

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 ❤️
