"It’s A Pleasure To Edit" is a selection from our archive of disco edits we did during the last 10 years, a way to reconnect you all with our roots.
Starting from October 15th, every Friday we’re gonna release one of them for eight weeks in a row.
Every single price for downloads will be upon offer and once the series will end, around Christmas time, we will donate the whole amount collected to Emergency, in honor of Gino Strada, a great activist and Emergency founder who left us last August 2021.

Radar Bazaar - Warm-up Exercises - Live @ Workshop Paris - Feb 21

In the realm of Balearic beat, the vinyl notes waver between the echoes of house and Italo house, embracing the mellow sway of deep house. A languid R&B-infused beat, clocking in below 119bpm, sets the rhythm, composed of the essential trio: bass drum, snare, and hi-hats, often choreographed by the Roland TR-909 drum machine. These beats unfold in a laid-back dance, a rhythmic tapestry woven with the soulful threads of Latin, African, Funk, and Dub influences. Balearic beat borrows production techniques from its dance music contemporaries, an eclectic fusion popular in its heyday.

Vocals, though intermittent, share the stage with instrumental compositions, where acoustic instruments like guitars and pianos occasionally join the melodic conversation. Yet, tethered to a specific percussion pattern that eventually fell out of favor, the once-prominent Balearic beat gracefully bowed out, its repertoire assimilated into the broader realms of "chill out" and "downtempo" genres.

The architects of Balearic beat, in contrast to their UK disciples, define its essence as the DJ's ability to traverse a vast sonic landscape, navigating from the early minimalism of New Beat to the pioneering extended remixes of pop anthems. Balearic DJ sets are a testament to the art of musical divergence, marked by sharp turns in direction. Beyond Ibiza's shores, the general perception labels Balearic beat as a distinct music style. However, within the island's community, it is a rebellion against conformity, an embrace of non-style—a challenge to the norm. It embodies a freestyle expression seamlessly binding sporadic vinyl inspirations through technical finesse on the turntables.

In the present electronic dance music landscape, where stylistic boundaries reign supreme, only a handful of promoters and DJs dare to stretch the spectrum of styles as far as Balearic beat once did, fearing the loss of identity and clientele. DJ Alfredo remains a torchbearer of diversity among Ibiza DJs, but the art of mixing and the terminology that once defined Balearic beat have largely been absorbed by the Chillout scene.

Side A Melhor Assim
Side B Aguibá, Aguibá

Parisian producer and longtime Too Slow To Disco collaborator Vibes4YourSoul returns for his third TSTD Edits volume, this time a 2 track 7 Inch (olive) full of smooth, funky Brazilian vibes! (limited to 400 copies)

Too Slow To Disco regulars will remember his name from several relases so far: his standout remix for L’Impératrice on the “TSTD – En France” compilation, his remix for Poolside from “The Sunset Manifesto”, his edits on all 5 Yacht Disco Edit compilations, and the 2 quickly sold out double 7 inches with Edits we released in 2020 and 2022. He is one of the crème of new reworkers and edit-producers, that have specialized in those soulful, smooth slow jams and midtempo tracks, that Djs all love for their warm up sets. Vibes4YourSoul (aka V4YS) is a Parisian DJ and producer whose musical universe blends together elements of disco, rare groove, afro-latin and soulful indie, with the deeper edge of contemporary house and nudisco sounds.
A member of Yuksek's Partyfine label crew as well as of BPM DJs collective ("Blog des pépites musicales") , he's regularly revisiting old or contemporary tracks through edits and remixes, widely shared and played by numerous DJs. https://soundcloud.com/vibes4yoursoul

It goes without saying we’re big fans of Berlin-based label Toy Tonics and it’s probably of little surprise that we’re quite keen on their star duo COEO (soundcloud) as well. With a resume of an act double their age, Florian Vietz and Andreas Höpfl have been responsible for more than their fair share of underground hits. Native Riddim, Back In The Day, and Mydonna (the alternate cut of course) have them coming in with strong contenders for any top ten list for 2015, 2016, and 2017. While their latest effort, Flesh World may not make as immediate a statement as some of their previous work, you’ll surely be finding all three tracks from the EP in DJ sets around the globe. We have the pleasure of introducing the first track on the EP, a slow burning disco cut that sneaks out of Toy Tonics’ vaults just before the Summer season comes to an end.

[soundcloud url="https://soundcloud.com/boltingbits/"/]

Clocking in at a chunky 117 beats per minute, the oddly named Flesh World sucks you in with a hypnotic progression and a cheekily added layer of white noise that combine to create an immediate feel good mood. As the song continues, drums build as we’re treated with more and more of the original sample until all the elements come together for the song’s climax just past the 2 minute mark. Things will ebb and flow once more before the song is finished, perhaps leaving us wondering how we just listened to essentially the same loop for over 6 minutes. That just goes to show you the brilliant reputation that COEO have earned themselves as masters of sample selection and arrangement is definitely warranted. It’s no wonder they’ve found a home on Toy Tonics and are regularly touted as some of the labels brightest stars.
