LUV GLISSANT — A.v.n Edits 001

Luv Glissant – A.V.N Edits 001 arrives on Audio Visual Nootropics as a 12-inch, 45 RPM vinyl that foregrounds the duo’s taste for disco-inflected edits and pop-house sensibility. Cut at a high speed to maximise impact for the deejay, the record presents two distinct cuts that already have a reputation for moving dancefloors. The release follows the imprint’s recent activity under the aegis of luvcreatexplore, an offshoot that emphasizes crisp, DJ-ready edits. While the label’s broader catalogue is not detailed here, this entry continues the imprint’s focus on tight, floor-oriented productions. Side A opens with “Bella”, a disco floor burner that incorporates live vocals layered over a driving groove. The track’s energy is immediate, offering a bright, vocal-centric hook that can serve as a peak-time highlight or a bright transition in a set. Its structure invites extended mixing, allowing DJs to ride the momentum or drop it into a more melodic segment. Flipping to Side B, “Nariño Joe” reimagines a late-80s salsa original, translating its narrative of resilience—being knocked down and getting back up—into a house-styled edit. The rhythm retains the sway of its salsa roots while the tempo and arrangement are reshaped for contemporary club contexts, making it a versatile tool for late-night moments where a touch of nostalgia meets modern drive. Within Luv Glissant’s output, this release underscores the duo’s ability to bridge genre lines, turning a disco vocal anthem and a salsa classic into cohesive, dancefloor-ready edits. The pair’s approach reflects a broader trend in underground electronic music where genre-crossing reinterpretations enrich club repertoires. For DJs, the 45 RPM cut delivers a louder, more immediate presence on the decks, ideal for both peak-time bursts and nuanced transitions. Collectors will appreciate the hand-stamped, vinyl-only format, limited to 200 copies, which adds a tactile, artisanal dimension to the listening experience. The record is presented as a 12-inch vinyl, cut at 45 RPM, featuring two tracks: “Bella” on the A side and “Nariño Joe” on the B side.
