🔥 This is it, I’m dropping a compilation of 9 freestyle edits, with amazing contributions from 🇬🇧 Running Hot 🇳🇱 Max van Gelder aka Redleg On A Roll 🇸🇪 Richard Fribert and 🇫🇷 Club Roquette, available on Bandcamp on March 28th 🔥
😍 I can’t describe how thrilled I am to release this project and to have been able to get all these talented DJs and friends on board! 😍
🇺🇦 In the current context, this compilation is also the opportunity to make a contribution, as all the proceeds will be donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross 🏥
🛒 You can already preorder the compilation on Bandcamp: https://souldade.bandcamp.com/album/saudedits-2-from-new-york-to-miami
I’ve always been passionated by the evolutions and cross-influences in musical genres, and lately my attention was caught by freestyle 💃🏽🕺🏽
Born in the Latino communities of NY, this genre was mixing synthetic instrumentations as heard in mainstream synth-pop with latin percussions and syncopated rhythms (almost break beat so to speak) and eventually boomed in the late 80s, on American airwaves and in NY or Miami clubs 🗽🏖️👙
Our freestyle edits oscillate between latin house-not-house club anthems and balearic head-bobbing tunes - as Gloria Estefan once sang, « Come on, shake your body baby do the conga, I know you can't control yourself any longer » 🥁🎺
🔥 Soca edit out next Friday, May 7th, on Stereo Ferment 🔥🏝
I bought the original track on vinyl back in 2018, in Brooklyn, when I was visiting a friend for the summer 🌆
I got immediately caught by the heavy bass line and the frantic percussions, and finally decided to get the most out of this track last year by cooking a proper, club-oriented edit 🎛
So proud to see this one finally out on this great compilation by Toronto-based label Stereo Ferment 🙌🏼
