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.

Razor-N-Tape Reserve presents a very special new package of remixes of the band BaianaSystem, bringing together one of Brazil’s most exciting contemporary sounds with modern dance floor-minded production.

The standout track of their 2018 LP “O Futura Não Demora,” Água is a lyrical poem to the people of their native Bahia, featuring the legendary Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, with orchestral melodies, an incendiary vocal chant, and a traditional organic Brazilian rhythmic approach.

On the A side, Freerange boss Jimpster delivers two exceptional takes on the song, augmenting percussion and adding synth layers to create deep and hypnotic tribal house textures within a sublime sonic soundscape.

On the flip side Brazilian producer Diogo Strausz joins forces with RNT boss JKriv to highlight the symphonic and melodic elements with their vocal mix, and then go into dark and driving percussive electronic territory on their fiery dub. With stunning visual art realized by Costa Rican designer The Myno, this package is as essential and smooth as water!

BaianaSystem feat. Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Água (Jimpster Dub)

Summer is around the corner, and helping us usher it in with pizazz and cheer is @ray-mang. We're overjoyed; we've been close, captivated fans since the early days and have been looking for a project to slide his way since day one at LPH.

This particular journey started with a remix of SAIDÊRA's "Deixa Tudo Fluir," which LPH released earlier in the year. It's a feel-good samba song, magically both sunkissed and touched by a gentle pang of melancholia.

Mr. Mang magnified the presence of the rhythm section and imbued the whole arrangement with a playful patience, crafting a Brazilian-inflected disco jamboree that's tuned for sunset dance circles yet suited for all hands-in-the-air moments. Enjoy it alone or with groups small and large alike.

José José - Tu Melodia (Gledd Edit)

London's longest-running re-edit imprint has founders Dave Jarvis and Diesel at the controls. 
The Moton Records Inc series launched back in 1996, and – alongside edit imprints from the Idjut Boys, Harvey, and others – this label has been instrumental in shaping the leftfield Disco & Balearic re-edit scene. 

With a DJ career going back over 25 years, Marc Roberts’ sound reflects a wide range of influences and his love for all things house, techno, jazz, disco, and afro. Whether it's warming up for some of the biggest names in electronic music, or headlining shows himself, he's earned himself a reputation as a solid selector playing events globally. 
Marc Roberts curates award winning line ups for festivals and clubs worldwide, including a decade with alpine behemoth Snowbombing. Having relocated to South East Asia in 2016, he set up the Pantai People imprint during the pandemic which has released a number of very well received 12”s.

This month Moton Records enlists the expertise of Bali’s best, to take listeners on a global jaunt of musical exploration. From London to Rio via New York, and road tested on the dance floors and beaches of Bali, Marc serves up four Bintang fuelled edits, effortlessly gravitating from low-slung Balearica to hi-octane funk with a dash of Brazilian disco and pop thrown in for good measure. Marc Roberts slices and splices four beautiful cuts that that fit perfectly into the highly collectable and off centre Moton Records universe.

When You're Around

The summer breeze is never far away when the Barefoot Beats posse are in town! The limited edition 10 “ vinyl series continues in some style with two mighty contributions from NYC taste maker JKriv and Rio’s very own rising star Joutro Mundo. 

Razor n Tape head honcho JKriv kicks things off with a seriously loose and funk-heavy groove that hits as hard as a mango caipirinha at dawn. While over on the flip, Joutro Mundo puts stars in our eyes with his deep and hypnotic Brasilian vibes. 

The Barefoot vibe is strong!!!

Não Morra (Disco Tech Edit)

Watch the video clip : http://bit.ly/ClipVaiSerMuitoBom
After two singles released on Cookie Records, they join Yuksek's crew at Partyfine with their single "Vai Ser Muito Bom".
In "Vai Ser Muito Bom" ("it's going to be great" in Portuguese), the "garota de Ipanema" (the girl from Ipanema) invites Les Hiboux celebrate Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. She lists with excitement all the wonders of carnival and of the brazilian culture as a whole.
The single is released with 3 quality remixes:
- a remix "Bloco" (which is the traditional gathering of percussionists in street carnivals) by YUKSEK.
- a slow techno remix "I don't Speak portuguese" by CLAAP! because the meaning of the lyrics no longer exists in his version !
- a "Maneiro" (chill, relax) remix from V4YS, perfect to watch the sunset with a caipirinha in your hand.
