Edit by @nicolaskotowicz

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.

Celi Bee - Di Que No Te Vas (DJBoeing Edit)

In April 2022, I spent the whole month in Granada, in the very South of Spain, to prepare for upcoming cycling races in France. It was a memorable and introspective period, climbing up the mountain roads of Sierra Nevada on my own.

One day, I was looking for something to read and ended up in this old second-hand bookseller, who turned out to offer vinyls as well. I took some time to dig there, and on top of a nice copy of Beni Life’s only EP (including « Amor En El Cielo » beauty), I found this unusual maxi featuring remixes of « Asi Me Gusta A Mi » by Mallorcan singer Azuquita, which is itself a cover of Chimo Bayo’s 1991 techno hit, but in a euro house fashion and with a rumba flamenca twist.

When I first gave it a spin, I thought the track had all the elements to become a dance floor burner: housy keys and rhythm, heavy baseline leaning towards acid at some point, balearic guitar eruptions, catchy vocals, break with trancy chords.

It’s finally time to release this edit that was unfairly sleeping on my computer, after adjusting and re-mastering it a bit.

Thandi Mbongwe - The Beat Is Alright

The second Keep on Wankin EP continues Hell Yeah label boss Marco’s on going quest for the perfect remixes. This time out he serves up the most Balearic Gabba influenced material yet and takes you on a trip to the clouds with Bjorn Torske and Fango both stepping up.

First up is Bjorn Torske’s take on everybody’s favourite Luminodisco tune ‘Oh Mary.’ It’s an impossibly adventurous 11 minute epic with buoyant chords dancing over trilling guitars. Lush, multi-layered and brimming with musicality, this is the sort of dubbed out yet percussively lively masterpiece that will mark the high point of any set as it washes over you time and time again.

Then it’s to Fango’s chunky and spaced out take on Somerville & Wilson’s ‘Yantar.’ It’s been the final track of all recent Fango sets around the world for a while now and that won’t change any time on thanks to the slow build to a colourful dub disco peak. It takes you ever higher on wandering lead synths as the fat drums pump away below.

Essential stuff.
