MILIEU TROPICALE SPECIAL GUEST: STELLA AND THE LONGOS

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Stella Zekri & Ed Longo have a common passion for old forgotten records that we enjoy

dusting off. Both of them are DJ collectors and have scoured the record shops as much

as the dancefloors. The meeting between the two artists sparked off and after a few

studio sessions, the idea of producing an album was born.

With a shared interest in Outer-National music, a common love for the french

multicultural productions of the 80s and an insatiable desire to innovate won out.

The album « Détends-Toi » was released in the summer of 2022 on the new Cosmic

Romance Records label. The members of the band created especially for this occasion,

have their roots all around the world: German, French, Italian, and Latin-American – they

all give the project an original flavor. Their sound pays tributé to the Zouk and Boogie

of the 80’s, seen through the glasses of the Paris underground, and recontextualised to today’s scene.
