Down 2 Dance

Down 2 Dance (Tech Support Remix)

Edit by @enterthelloyd

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.

Brian Davis - Everybodys Got to Learn Sometime (Lloyds Eyes Wide Rework)

18 months after the release of their 3rd EP, spotlight on leftfield italo, Mister T. records are now back with their first official digital release to light up dancefloors with its load of vintage synths and iconic drum machines.
Fedor aka @SimFossil is a Russian DJ and producer from Moscow, now based in Paris. He started his journey in the electronic scene 10 years ago, producing under his house alias Cossway with many releases on HedZup, Whoyostro, Hatch, Deepolody, Inter records, etc.. Big fan of labels like Mood Hut, Pacific Rhythm or PPU, this new release is a big step for him, making his debut in the 90’s electronic music.
With the Body Contact EP he mixes his influences, coming from the Belgian, Canadian and US underground scenes, to deliver three tracks, complex blends of saturated samples and vintage drum machines. The EP opens with ‘Body Contact’, its most dance-floor friendly track, mixing together the loud and simple rhythms of newbeat jamming with Sim’s distorted house samples. The journey continues with ‘Baseline Traffic’, another powerful tune, diving in the very essence of late 80’s electronic music. Its hypnotic bassline guides us all along, between aerial melodies and filtered synths. Finally, Sim leaves us with ‘Programmed Cruise’, a groovier tribute to proto-house and synth pop, a step back from the newbeat influences of the two first tracks. With its ethnic flutes and percs, Sim managed to provide a lighter twist and a broader range to the EP, showing another dimension of his producing skills.
MTT is proud to release this EP as a tribute to newbeat & as Fedor’s first move with his new alias.
Release date: 02/02/2022

Strike Force - Jack Rollers (Merchant Edit)

Our first contemporary release on Avec Plaisir features a stunning collaboration of Munich-based Ly Nguyen and @supersoundglobal's @nicjalusi. We discovered "Laguna Azur" already years ago through our friend Pia and kept playing it in our sets since then, which caused almost ridiculous amounts of ID-requests from audiences all over Europe. So when Ly and Nic agreed on working together on a physical release, we knew this is gonna be something special. 

While the Original Laguna Azur Mix takes you on a motorcycle trip to  a beach bar sipping cocktails in the early 90s (with denim jackets, cocktail umbrellas and the full program), Jalusi's Acid Dub is already starting the party, when the dubby bass hits like we wanna dance into the sunset, watching smiles on everyones faces, rumpled hair from the early evening breeze. 2AM – was it Hazme Sonar or Sueno Latino or the Balearic Eric & Nic Jalusi Dream House Mix – You’re in a sea of hands up in the air when those piano chords kick in after the break. You just want to dive into the ocean for another night swim and shake your drenched body on the sandy dancefloor. A handful of friends remain at the beach in the very moment when the sun comes up and you’ll hear the hypnotizing leftfield dub "My Heart“, lying on the shore, everyone’s eyes turn into the greenish-blue color of a mystical lagoon hidden in the palm forest. A salty taste remaining on your skin.

We're more than proud and excited to present you the summer record of 2024: Suncream’s Laguna Azur EP.

A2 Suncream - Laguna Azur (Jalusi's Acid Dub)

Berlin‑based producer @Solatic delivers a shimmering new take on Sie berührt mich by Elias Doré & Anni Yu - a remix that transforms the song’s late‑night confession into a radiant yet introspective journey. Originally born in an unexpected moment of attraction, Anni Yu’s lyrics and Elias Doré’s gentle soundscape portrayed longing in soft tones. Solatic - known for his melodic, dreamy tracks that balance playfulness with depth, and for weaving vocals and instrumentation into light‑filled electronic atmospheres reimagines the piece with luminous synths, subtle harmonic swells, and a rhythm that pulses like a heartbeat under moonlit serenity. The remix preserves the vulnerability and honesty of the original voice while bathing it in warmth, offering listeners a new space to feel, reflect, and glow.
