Dancing for Love over Hate: Afro-Caribbean favs with Discothèque Tropicale

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.

From zouk to soukous, the duo aimed to showcase music and messages that they feel inspires hope, love and joy in a world struck by war and conflict that we hope to overcome together. Comprising of a group of passionate record diggers, members of Discothèque Tropicale champion their love for soulful, sun filled dance music from across the world, through their record label, youtube channel and events (based mainly in London). Although they have a deep love for a wide range of African and Latin music, in particular the collective have a special interest in the music of the West Indies. The first release on their label saw an incredible revival of the zouk masterpiece "Voyager" by the late "Manix" from Guadeloupe. With plenty more in the works be sure to keep an eye out for future releases.
