Скачать или смотреть Zouk Digital (1985-93) mix by Hiko Disco | Deep Tropical Cuts from the French Caribbean Islands

Step into the vibrant world of Zouk with Hiko Disco, a Paris-based DJ and record collector known for his groove-driven taste and passion for all things soulful. This mix dives into the electrifying evolution of zouk, a genre born from the rich rhythms and soulful energy of the French Caribbean (Martinique & Guadeloupe) in the late 1970s.

Like many genres, Zouk entered the digital age in the mid-80s, transforming with the advent of synthesizers, drum machines, and electronic production. This shift marked the rise of Zouk Digital, as pioneers like Kassav’ blended traditional Caribbean elements with innovative electronic sounds. The result was a fresh, forward-looking style that retained its tropical essence while adopting modern production techniques. Zouk Digital expanded the genre beyond the islands, turning it into a club favorite worldwide with entrancing basslines and futuristic synths that created an irresistible groove.

Hiko’s mixtape celebrates this digital era of zouk, weaving together tracks that capture both the warmth of the Caribbean and the pulse of electronic dance music. Embark on this musical journey where vintage synths meet timeless rhythms, honoring a genre that remains vibrant, danceable, and full of life.
