DISCOTHÈQUE TROPICALE W/ SPECIAL GUESTS: SOULDADE & BRUCE LA DANSE - 11 NOV 22

To kick off our brand new mix series it's a pleasure to welcome one of Holland's finest selectors 'Tache' aka Bart Eichholtz. 

An avid collector of tropical grooves from all over the world, his record collection spans from soulful 70's music, to club orientated 90's grooves from the Caribbean, Africa, South America and beyond. 

Playing across estbalished venues such as MONO, BIRD, Keilecafe and more - Tache was one of the minds behind the late L'Afrique Discotheque parties and has always euphorically lit up dancefloors across Rotterdam!

It's truly a pleasure to welcome him on for a one hour journey through digs found in Paris featuring various soundscapes with music from the French Antilles, Cabe Verde and Angola to name a few. 

Sit back and float away to the tropics xx

DISCOTHÈQUE TROPICALE - 9 DEC 22

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

Jean Philippe Marthély - Touloulou (JOSH FB's 2-U Lulu Edit)

A reworking of this amazing track from Equatorial Guinea to enjoy during this cold December month!

Enjoy x

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!

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

A continent-spanning mix of everything I've been digging at the moment.
