Auntie Flo launches 2026 with the Birds Of Paradise [Remixes] package on his A State Of Flo label, featuring five reworked tracks that amplify the original album’s global club energy for house and techno crowds. Hardway Bros tackle Ceibo, Ruf Dug reshapes Paradise 23, Los Pulpitos flip Cobra, Orion Agassi reimagines Joy Mantra, and Auntie Flo delivers his own Earth NRG DJ tool—bringing fresh interpretations from these underground heavyweights. A State Of Flo, founded by Brian d’Souza himself, has carved a niche for rhythmically rich, ecologically inspired electronic music that fuses vintage synths with worldly percussion, earning shouts from tastemakers like Laurent Garnier and Mano Le Tough.
The Hardway Bros remix of Ceibo pulses with their signature cosmic drive, transforming the track into a dancefloor weapon that channels Sean Johnston’s outer space flair for late-night warehouse spins. Ruf Dug’s take on Paradise 23 digs deep into funky, organic layers, perfect for selectors blending house with broken beat edges in smoky clubs. Los Pulpitos bring their Dengue Dengue Dengue heat to Cobra, infusing tropical urgency that lights up global circuits from Goa to Kaohsiung. Orion Agassi’s Joy Mantra remix elevates the mantra into hypnotic peaks, ideal for those extended journeys where the crowd locks in tight.
Auntie Flo’s Earth NRG DJ tool strips things to essentials, giving DJs modular firepower to weave into sets alongside the full remixes. Drawing from d’Souza’s roots in Saligao, Goa—where dawn choruses and mangrove rivers shaped the original album—these versions translate nature’s pulse onto underground floors worldwide. Praised by DJ Mag and Testing Pressing for bridging spiritual highs with everyday grooves, this package underscores Auntie Flo’s role as a vital voice in club culture. No other remixers join the lineup, keeping the focus on these curated talents fueling house and disco’s forward momentum.
