FREE CALL #13 : Cosa Rosa - Toledo Girl (Lau Tropico Edit)

Free Download : https://hypeddit.com/track/vgu730

Laurens Geerts (aka Lau Tropico) is an Antwerp-based producer and music selector with a big heart for the Balearic beat era. What's his sound? Well, think hints of Italo disco, mix some new beat, and then add some electro mixed exotic sounds. Yeah - this guy wants to bring the right grooves to make your boring place more tropical.

about the edit : 
Lau discovered Toledo Girl while looking for some Italo disco gems.
The melody had all the right ingredients to become a dancefloor banger. But it lacked power and a coherent arrangement.
At first, he just wanted to re-arrange the song but in the end, he created a new bass line, melody, and drums:  *Something New*
He edited this track during lockdown with a sweaty dancefloor in mind. So if you are looking for a new banger, this should be the one.

FREE CALL #13 : Cosa Rosa - Toledo Girl (Lau Tropico Edit)

"Travis Henderson suddenly reappears after four years of wandering, a period for which he gives no explanation to his brother who has come to find him. They go to Los Angeles to recover Travis's son, with whom he leaves for Texas in search of Jane, the mother of the child. A quest towards the unknown, a mutual discovery reuniteds Travis and Jane with a tormented past..."

In 1984, Wim Wenders won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival with the film "Paris, Texas"...a magnificent complicated, poetic and tragic film about Love.

Zaratustra drops here a moving and epic edit retracing the booth scene.

Close your eyes, cry but hope !

X-PRESSINGS #008: Heart (Aristo G's Maxed Out Love Mix)

In 1985, the italo disco band Midnight Passion, produced by Ennio Mauel & Euro Ferrari, released the title I Need Your Love on Cruisin' Records (in Italy). This hit with incredible energy will then be released the same year on ZYX Records (in Germany).

Almost 40 years later, the Corsican artist Disco Paese pays homage to them !

The producer who loves Italo, Disco and Funk is anything but a beginner. With several edits behind him already, he drops here a new version even more dancefloor focused, close to high energy mood !

[MRFD010] - Midnight Passion - I Need Your Love (Disco Paese Edit) / FREE DOWNLOAD

Hailing from Paris, DJ and producer Saltimbanq draws inspiration from a captivating blend of enigmatic indie dance with subtle post-punk undertones, dark disco infused with acid sounds, and new wave. 

Despite being classically trained in music from a young age, he really had his musical epiphanic moment while discovering the sparking starkness of Joy Division and the ethereal sound of Alan Parsons Project. A musical heritage inspires him, be it behind the decks or into the studio, to craft emotionally charged soundscapes underpinned by powerful beats and engaged basslines. His first release, “Tenderness Cliffhanger”, is, with that regard, a manifesto attempt, building up a slow melodic progression filled with and fueled by strong emotional intent where fairy synths and heavy basslines seem to engage in a fierce fight.

A homage to the influential Neukolln bar and meeting point for Italo and Cosmic disco heads, Cafe Futuro is a testament to this special place, the soundtrack and its revered legacy. Brimming with Scala's gift for revealing the most finite feelings of nostalgia one searches for on the dance floor, 'Cafe Futuro' dives deeper. 

Rich in Scala's unmistakable tone and charm, 'Cafe Futuro' builds upon a bold and innovative sound, showcasing fellow creators and genre-defining artists, solidifying the Italo Affecianondo's sound, synonymous with the pioneering greats.
