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 lookout 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 four-track 7" "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.
