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)

Rush Hour Pre Order

Cabo Verde Show - Bem Danca (The Square Sun Edit)

Edit of Manix's Voyager by Under Radaar 

Amazing story about this banger, I dug it in my town, I listened to it and I thought that a version a little more mine would be nice. Then I sent it to Josh and few months later : Antal, Barbara Boeing, Dar Disku, Palms Trax, Hunee (special moment because I was secretly behind him), DiscoFrenchy, Josh FB, Fabzeu, and many others played this everywhere on this planet. 
Very special edit because it represents the fact that music unites and reunites people around the world

The project is not finished : we're working hard to license the track with Manix and to get it soon on Discothèque Tropicale.

Manix - Voyager (Under Radaar 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!

Cuba Trinidad - Bailar La Soca En La Playa (Eder Croket long edit)

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 ❤️
