Vibes4YourSoul Mixes#23 - Balearic Feeling

Got put on to this by one of Francois Kervorkian's streams.
Decided to make my own very slight edit. Used RIpX, switched out the drums and percs and added FX to give it a bit of welly.
Hope you like.

Norman Connors - Once I've Been There (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

I time-traveled to 1977 to edit this banger. I'm somewhat of a Doctor Emmett Brown myself.

DJ friendly? Yes!
Added hot tropical break? Yes!
Are the timbales in break a live professional recording??? Oh yes.

Has been tested and tweaked numerous times on multiple dancefloors on plethora of sound systems in Tbilisi.

Enjoy.

BlondP - Miura (Original Mix)

Echoes of Us, a heartfelt collaboration between Motsek and Lalla Martin, an incredible singer from Zimbabwe.

Their connection was instant. From the very first exchanges, everything flowed naturally — a true musical dialogue across continents, cultures, and emotions.

The result? A powerful 4-track EP that we can’t wait to share with you — featuring the warm, expressive trumpet of Julien mercier on two of the tracks.

A beautiful way to close this season for Kaphonic Records 💫

A classic rare groove cut from Jamaican singer Sonya Spence, "Let Love Flow On" was released in 1981 as part of her LP "Sonya Spence Sings Love".
Here is my nudisco-kind-of revisit of it.

Surface - Falling In Love (Ethan Wood Rework) *** FREE DOWNLOAD ***

Written in 1969 in Roma by Chico Buarque and Toquinho, “Samba de Orly,” is a beautiful exile song. A melancholic message addressed by a Brazilian forced to flee to Europe, to a friend lucky enough to go back home to Rio. 
It's in fact an auto-biographic story in a heavy political context: in early 1969, under aggressive scrutiny by an increasingly repressive Brazilian dictatorship, Chico Buarque took advantage of a concert tour in Italy with Toquinho to effectively exile himself there temporarily with his wife. 
When Toquinho and Chico reviewed the final version of the song, their friend Vinicius De Moraes advised them to make the lyrics harsher and more clearly political to reflect the pain of life in exile. But Brazilian censorship refused the changes, and the song was released in Brazil with their original milder lyrics. Song title refers to Paris's Orly, as it was well known to the Brazilian audience, contrary to Roma's Fiumicino airport.

Fast forward to today, and I can't help thinking about Brazil current situation and regime, which evokes in several ways this dark dictatorship era. Let's hope all the wonderful artists in the country will not be forced to exile themselves as well. Here's my groovy take of the song, as a little hint of love and support to all of them :)

partial lyrics and translation

Vai, meu irmão
Pega esse avião
Você tem razão de correr assim
Desse frio, mas beija
O meu Rio de Janeiro
Antes que um aventureiro
Lance mão

Pede perdão
Pela duração dessa temporada
Mas não diga nada
Que me viu chorando
E pros da pesada
Diz que vou levando
Vê como é que anda
Aquela vida à toa
E se puder me manda
Uma notícia boa

Go on, my brother, catch that plane
You’re right for running away like this
From this cold, but kiss
My Rio de Janeiro
Before some opportunist makes a grab

Beg pardon for the duration of my sojourn
But don’t say anything about seeing me crying
And tell the tough ones that I’m carrying on
Go see how that idle life is going
And if you can, send me back some good news
