As a sequel to the repress of mythic record "Dou Van Jou" by parisian-guadeloupean artist Jimmy Blanche, Stima Records is dropping remixes made out of 80's multitrack tape recordings given by Jimmy himself.
On remix duties you'll find great names of the french party scene: Mawimbi, Pardonnez-nous, Aurèle, Kobald, M.Baba and Baerlz.
For this track, Aurèle (of Cracki Records, Demi-Monde, D.KO...) took some bass & vocal parts of "Pep Antillais", a song celebrating caribbean people, to make an energetic electronic track, flirting with some heavy UK influences...
The physical release includes these 6 remixes and will be a limited 100 copies white label vinyl.
The digital release also includes two exclusive original songs.

PREMIERE: Jimmy Blanche - Pep Antillais (Aurèle Remix) [Stima Records]

A heavy gust of wind rustled the pages of his notepad spoiling the ink he'd penned moments ago. He'd been pouring over these notes for as long as he could remember; it controlled his life, his every waking moment. From morning to night he thought about how he'd morph these ramblings into something cohesive, a novel that stirred the same emotions in the reader as it had claimed from him during its creation. But writers block always reared its head, the invisible enemy of every wordsmith.

In October last year, Paris-based label Stima Records revisited the work of Guadeloupean-Parisian artist and cultural activist Jimmy Blanche, more specifically his 1987 release 'Dou Van Jou', which had remained shrouded in mystery for years. As an appendix to the release, the label have gathered close friends and affiliates, including Mawimbi, Aurèle, M.Baba and Pardonnez-nous, to reimagine Blanche's original melange of traditional gwoka, jazz and synth.

PREMIERE: Jimmy Blanche - Tambou La Ti Bois La (Pardonnez-nous Remix) [Stima Records]

Today, we are celebrating the companion release to our next archival reissue, 'Tsonga Tremors: Remixes', which landed this past Friday (June 4th).

This precedes the release of our next reissue proper, the compilation 'Tsonga Tremors: Explorations in Tradition, Technology & South African Dance Music (1983-1991).'

We are presenting this reissue compilation featuring early Shangaan-influenced dance music from legendary producers Paul Ndlovu, Thomas Chauke and Richard Siluma alongside lesser-known Tsonga Disco and neo-traditional rarities from South Africa (1983-1991). The compilation will drop digitally on July 2nd - and physically on Sep 1st.

This first series of remixes from the 'Tsonga Tremors' compilation is spearheaded by three acclaimed producers -  two of which join us today and provide our sixteenth guest mix selection - the aforementioned duo are @monsieurbaba and @djturboboomboom, who together run the new Parisian label Stima Records (@stimarecords).

Their first release as Stima presents a selection of studio-slick and unfamiliar 1980s Guadeloupean-Parisian misses from Jimmy Blanche alongside a companion piece of remixes and edits – from keyboard-drenched sunshine electro-gwoka to yacht-ready synth groovers, no-frills boogie dubs and the syncretic, joyous bricolage that has been a defining feature of so much salsa and disco music. An expertly crafted insider selection of high-gloss oddities and tropical pop misfires.

Their guest mix follows suit - it’s questing music, and there is no mistaking the sense that a complex, untested set of sounds is being thoughtfully glued together from well-loved fragments of the past – always intriguing and frequently surprising – their selection displays a compulsive interest in rhythm that allows even the most curious explorations to return with engaging, accessible sonic artefacts to marvel at.

Stima Records : Digger de pépites oubliés

Ulysse Jean Rosemond : NAÏMA/ TIERS MONDE 
Sortie : Décembre 2021 
Pré commande ici : 

FR : Originellement sorti en 1983, ce maxi du saxophoniste franco-haïtien Ulysse est devenu culte - et extrêmement rare - au sein de la niche “french boogie”. Les deux titres réussissent à merveille le pari de lier message politique et musique pour le dancefloor, avec le boogie aux élans pop « Naïma », se présentant comme une chanson d’amour qui en fait raconte l’impossible résilience d’une personne ayant connu la guerre, et le massif « Tiers Monde », un reggae digital qui alerte sur l’abandon des enfants du tiers-monde. Ce maxi, où chaque titre s’enchaîne à sa version instrumentale pour le plus grand plaisir des djs, est un authentique instantané de la scène club métissée du Paris des années 1980.
C’est donc une réelle joie de rendre accessible à nouveau ce disque surprenant, qui était devenu pratiquement introuvable depuis bien trop longtemps.

ENG : Originally released in 1983, this 12’’ from French-Haitian saxophone player Ulysse became cult – and extremely rare – within the French boogie niche. Both tracks wonderfully succeed in mixing political statements with dance-floor delights.
Boogie-pop track “Naïma” seems to be a love song at first, but actually says the impossible resilience of a woman who has grown up in war. The heavy digital reggae song “Tiers Monde” warns us about the abandonment of Third World children.
This maxi single, cut loud and where each track is instantly followed by its instrumental version for greater DJ use, is an authentic snapshot of the Paris mixed club scene of the 1980s. Really hard to find for a very long time, it’s a great pleasure for Stima Records to make this music available again, in order to reach a well deserved new audience nearly 40 years later!

It is no secret that Montreal had a bubbly disco scene, but there are still some under-the-radar gems. Sophie Stanké is one of them. The charismatic Quebec-Lithuanian actress, radio host and singer hung around with some of the hippest disco people of the 80s, and worked on the sexy boogie song "L'amour d'une diva" with no other than Geraldine Hunt. Scandalous at the time, it became a local disco hit. Famous french singer Daniel Guichard noticed her and signed the song – slightly rearranged – in France on his label Kuklos. Here is the rarest original Canadian arrangement that Stima reissued, in all its glory: long and instrumental versions.

The other side includes the more obscure and even more erotic "J'adore". It was issued in 1987 under her first name, Sophie, with synth-pop and new wave influence. An instrumental was missing, thus Baerlz delivers a new dub cover and now each song has also its “version”, in the purest 80s 12 inches tradition.

After ten years spent in France, where she worked with another star singer Nicolas Peyrac, Sophie is now still active in Québec's cultural life. Stima is proud to have her permission to reissue these 2 fresh 80s tracks to hit the modern dancefloors.
