Description: In this 1992 obscurity George Biron produces a zoukkiller sizzling with emotion and energy. His near falsetto voice is soothing and perfectly accompanied by beautiful trumpets, female backing vocals and baselines. With some difficulty I managed to remove a particularly heinous siren that played throughout the track, completely ruining it in my opinion! My 10th edit - Hope you enjoy :)

rushed off to find the 'loud siren' version - you're right... its an ambulance arriving mid song 🤔🤔🤔

Personally would have taken the entire "accident" part out as well as I feel that still ruins the groove of the song for a bit, but nonetheless great edit!

I dated George Biron in Martinique in 1987. I was there for two months. Wonder what happened to him?

This is sooo good Josh!! 🙌🏼 🔥 😎

NEW ISLANDS 08 - JUAN IZGUERRA

SoCal digger and DJ Juan Izguerra delivers a dope autumn mix for the New Islands series.  Juan is the talent buyer at a Hi-Fi DJ spot and brew pub, Homage Brewing based in LA/Pomona.  He's also making waves in the LA DJ scene with eclectic sets of tasteful jams as well as a monthly radio show on Dublab called Low Profile.   Excited to have him contribute a mix to the series.

From Juan "I put this mix together on a warm Saturday afternoon. I had the weekend off, got comfortable in my apartment, turned on my system and went at it in one go. I started off by playing some fun light hearted tracks then bridged it into a world of italo, synth-pop, and chicago cuts (shout out to @alejandroz for the Thompson Twins tip). I had a lot of fun with this one and stoked to share the various things I've been listening to lately and playing at clubs."

A short while ago, @freedomofgroovement sat down for conversation with Vish and Mazen from @dardisku. The aim was to understand the musical roots of this duo experiencing a meteoric rise. The result? A decade, continent and genre-spanning playlist: hip hop, bollywood, rock n roll, indie, raï, dubstep and disco. Definitively demonstrating that our influences are always all around us, and when you live the globe-trotting life these two have, there’s no borders on any dancefloor.

Nofraje - Alter Disco Podcast 134

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

In this 1992 obscurity George Biron produces a zoukkiller sizzling with emotion and energy. His near falsetto voice is soothing and perfectly accompanied by beautiful trumpets, female backing vocals and baselines. With some difficulty I managed to remove a particularly heinous siren that played throughout the track, completely ruining it in my opinion! My 10th edit - Hope you enjoy :)

DC Promo Tracks: North Satellite "Love Is On The One" (Darshan Jesrani Response)

Although his name hints at a Scandinavian origin story, vrøge's roots are firmly in Utrecht, the Netherlands. His musical journey started with some funk, boogie and soulful disco. But exploring the records closest to his heart at the moment unveils another piece of the global puzzle he admires.
Going from reggae, to zouk, to soca, to mpb, to kwaito, he loves, collects and plays it all. Beside those warmer tropical sounds vrøge tries to find a beautiful blend with deep house, garage and italo-disco to name a few. This mix is carefully assembled to emphasize the music that sets vrøge into dancing mode.

ALALA 025 -  Vrøge 23.09.2023

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 ❤️
