very nice atmosphere good quality production nice one!

Salute to all who was on this wonderful track

amazing and also beautiful First Class masterpiece

Taken from the iconic Hibiscus Records' 1990 release of zouk/reggae fusion band 'Shango'. The Bamboo Beat album is a straight up killer record with 'Irie' being one of my all-time favourite tracks ever put out.

I changed the intro, cut out some parts and rearranged bits to make the breakdown you can hear at 0:31 for example. Hope you enjoy the edit, more to come... :)

Shoutout to my good pal and fellow zouk digging nerd Bedoui for turning me onto the record. It's sadly very rare, I'd love to be able to reissue it on my label 'Discotheque Tropicale' one day so more people could listen to this wonderful work of music x

Shango - Filinn' (JOSH FB / Discothèque Tropicale Edit)

A few snips here and there to get this sounding a bit more club friendly for us.

Protek - I Love To Dance With You (Pure Mana Edit)

Next up is Paris-Based DJ, digger and connaisseur Souldade (@simon-de-forni), who likes to navigates across eras and genres to unearth overlooked tunes. His edits and mixes carry you away to forgotten dream places, from sunbathed exotic poolsides to moist outmoded clubs.  

Travelling back and forth between his native Europe, Africa, Brazil, American cities and other Caribbean islands, the motto remains unchanged: move you and make you move.  

This mix makes no exception: tropical warm up, zouk, disco classics, frantic freestyle tracks and italo burners. Make sure your shoes are tightly tied up!

Summer is the best time to embrace your inner cornyness. For me it included cutting and slicing this random Finnish eurodance schlager produced by the iconic Jussi Halme for  the showgirl troupe Big Bad Girls. Have a cheezy summer everybody <3

Here's a new Zouk Edit of this little cheapo. I really enjoy the energy and the vibes of this little known track. I took out some break / reorganised a little the track. To add some groove, I added a reggae rimshot, boosted the kick and some discrete high hats action to my taste.
Enjoy!
