Welcome to the second installment of the collaboration between THE REFLEX' DISCOLIDAYS label and BECAUSE MUSIC in Paris, remixing gems from the ZAGORA catalog.Created in 1975 by producer Daniel Vangarde (father of Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter), the Zagora label created some of the most exciting disco music in France, ranging from cult underground artists Who's Who and Starbow, to massive international hits by the Gibson Brothers, La Compagnie Creole and Black Blood.On this 12', we've got two first time ever remixes from La Compagnie Creole, one of the most successful acts in France during the 80's who expertly mixed tropical sounds from the West Indies with pop and disco to staggering record sales.With tapes thought to be long lost, a chance find of stems from two of their songs not only makes this release possible, but also perfectly showcases two sides of the band with 'Le Bal Masque' which was a huge hit commercially in 1984 and 'La Nuit Des Requins' which is probably their least known and most underground track, both masterminded by songwriters DANIEL VANGARDE and JEAN KLUGER.'LE BAL MASQUE', now devoid of it's cheesiest sections, puts the focus on that infectious groove adorned with percussions and electronics but with it's singalong chorus intact and stronger than ever. A guaranteed tropical disco floor filler at 122bpm, regardless of your knowledge of the French language!'LA NUIT DES REQUINS', an ode to session musicians found regularly in Paris studios back in the day, gets a complete overhaul by putting the exhilarating drums and killer bass line of the original to the fore into a brand new 124bpm version that is destined to rock the most discerning dance floors the world over.Released on 180g vinyl with custom artwork on card sleeve designed by AL KENT / MILLION DOLLAR DISCO.
