Hope you enjoyed the last two synth pop edits. Back at the usual stuff here with a Zouk adjacent Kizomba / Cape Verde Bomb from a dope 1996 compilation.

An ultra romantic infectious beat, beautiful synths, vocals and chord progressions. Nice for opening or closing... Similar to Antillean zouk but the beautiful Portuguese derived vocals work magic here, encompassing the track with a lovely vibe

As always thanks for checking these out. Drop a comment if you liked it pls! Peace and love, JOSH FB x

I would like to acknowledge that I dig, play and broadcast on stolen land. I'd like to give thanks to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation for allowing me to do so, and acknowledge all elders past, present and emerging across this beautiful country.

Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

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 ❤️
