Zouk, Love and Eternal Happiness with Tall Nico

Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses.

He has been working at Rook Records for the past 3.5 years, joining shortly after lockdown. Starting with limited experience, the shop became a constant-learning environment, where each moment contributed to shaping his taste and musical understanding. Over time, this immersion led to playing out more regularly and becoming deeply involved in the community surrounding the record shop. Alongside this, Nicolas began hosting a radio show on Voices Radio, sharing new discoveries, and co-organising club nights with friends and customers he met through Rook Records. Continuous learning and discovery remain central to his practice, and he is grateful to work, play, and grow within such a supportive and inspiring space. "This is a selection of some Zouk Love and Fusion, probably the style of music that kicked everything in my brain on how much I could discover on a type of music I thought I knew. I grew up in France, Paris in the '90s, and there are very large Guadeloupe and Martinique Island communities, and you would hear it a lot. I always had an idea of it until I got my eyes opened." https://www.instagram.com/tall.nico/ https://www.instagram.com/rookrecords/ ------------ Cameras: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ Mixer by Condesa Electronics Turntables: Technics 1210mk2 Stylus & Cartridges by Ortofon UK: Ortofon 2M Blue & Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Club DJ https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/brands/ortofon/ Record Cleaning Brush: Record brush “Joni” https://ramar.berlin/en/ Equipment Provided by Audio Gold: Leben CS 600x Valve power amplifier Grundig Audiorama Hanging Speakers Yamaha CR-2020 vintage receiver  Mordaunt Short Festival Series 2 vintage speakers Audio Gold custom Technics plinths https://majical.co.uk/stories The “Aladdin’s Cave of hi-fi” Audio Gold specialises in new and second-hand stereo equipment for your home, restaurant or bar.
