An edit pays tribute to the original by trimming and rearranging the song in a way that it works for today's dancefloor or listening habits. 

Delfonic and Mendel are two outspoken specialists in this and understand the edit craft like no one else. For almost twenty years, Delfonic has been running Oye Records, a record store known far beyond the city limits of Berlin, and therefore knows very well which records and tracks go down best with whom and how. 

Always on the look out for that heartfelt connection, Mendel doesn’t cater to the fist pumpers, but rather the loving, open-minded and upbeat. His sets are peppered with diverse influences, from Chicago’s (ware)house pioneers to Amsterdam’s soulful school of DJs. He carefully orchestrates dance floor experiences by selecting tunes based on the emotion they evoke. A steady flow of mixtapes and Mendel’s Melodies, his regular show on Red Light Radio, provide a platform for Mendel to share his mellower side, capturing hearts by interweaving soulful classics with silky rarities from all corners of the musical landscape.

Notes On A Journey has therefore decided to make use of the services of the two DJs and to take two songs from their own, meanwhile extensive catalog under the magnifying glass, respectively the scalpel.

On the one hand there are two new editions of Germannu's «Fale De Mim» and one edit each for «Marcação» and «Pé na Estrada» by Valéria. Four times the very finest in soulful Brazilian pop music as one is now almost used to from Notes On A Journey. 

«Fale De Mim» by Germannu, by the way, originally appeared in 1984 on the EP «Germannu» and was released in September 2020 by NOAJ as a lavish reissue. 

The 4-track 7inch «Pé na Estrada» by Valéria originally came out in 1983 on the Brazilian label PPA (Paladar Produções Artisticas) and was re-released by NOAJ in November 2020.

With «NOAJ Edits 01», a first absolute must-have edits package was put together. And as the title suggests, the series will continue in the following months with more highlights from the NOAJ catalog.

PREMIERE: Prime Time Band - Fall In Love In Outer Space (Chuggin Edits Rework) [Too Slow To Disco]

The eclectic nu-disco vibes of Double F.O.G. aka Chris Armstrong have been pricking up many an ear the past few years with some superb appearances on Hot Digits and Bandolier records to name but a few. This debut 3 track Ep on Hot Digits Music (an ode to his love for his missus I might add) showcases this rising talent with the Lyn Collins sampling opener “Lose My Mind” which is all mid tempo analogue funk of the highest order. “Baby Don’t Change” ramps up the wobble for another speaker busting slice of slo-mo house before we take things real deep with closing track “Wanna Be Your lover” featuring some cracking vocoder vibes reminiscent of some of Daft Punk’s ballad work. Disco Daze Stephen Richards returns to the label for his cracking remix of “Baby Don’t Change” where the Waterford producer cranks up energy with some slo-mo hip-house textures. A highly original 3 tracker for the more discerning dance floor and terrace.

Play Loud!

HOTDIGIT108 Double F.O.G. - Baby Don't Change (Stephen Richards Remix) (Preview)

Excited to announce the debut album from Wille, with brand new single 

‘Bilancia Nero’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Wille is a Danish electronic artist, a true househead who describes his style as a ‘futuristic nostalgia,’ an experiment in taking up various styles and genres (disco, italo, acid, jazz, deep house) and imagining their alternative evolutions and cross-pollinations.
 
’Bilancia Nero’ is his latest alternative take on the glitz and analog glamour of 1980’s Italo disco, with an acid twist. 
 
He says: "I'm somewhat obsessed with reimagining the past, and the idea of tracing back the steps of how music evolves with technology, and how it might have evolved differently. Nothing new in combining styles, but the art of it, I think, is making it seem like the marriage between genres is obvious, as if Italian electro was always supposed to have acid synthesizer leads".
 
The b-side ’Bilancia Vero - Dance Mix’ is not so much a remix as it's own track, building a new structure around the percussive elements of the former, swapping out his 80’s penchant for a more polished digital sheen, leading us towards the dance music and piano house anthems of the 90s.

DRUP - Disco House Mix

„Discovering and rediscovering music“ is NOAJ's slogan and by this credo productions and recordings (records, cassettes, never before released master tapes) from days gone by shall and will find its audience. NOAJ tells the tale of mis-launched careers, failed dreams, gutted hopes, criminally overlooked masterpieces and of music that has been probably way too ahead of its time.
