Doing Our Own Thing & To Be Free (Remixes)

So, almost without realising it, I'm officially up-to-date on all edits/reworks for Soundcloud, which means I can now get on with the business of adding some brand new ones! This time round there's slinky Brazilian funk from Evinha, laid back soul/funk from unsung hero Willie Wright, a completely reimagined soul-club version of Kevin Moore and an unreleased latin-funk-disco version of "Welcome To The Casbah" featuring Prince Po that I totally forgot I'd recorded at the time of the album's release (ten years ago) and which I've just discoverd on an old hard drive. Best of all, I guess, they're all free to download!

ps I've just added all the previous edits/reworks so that they're all easily accessible from one playlist. Handy or what! Also just added Gospel Soul Revivals and the Freamon edit of "You Deserve To Dance". Freamon is, of course, me.

Casbah 73 (& Freamon) Original Productions

As a passionate lover of all things soul & disco, it's inevitable I would have more than a passing interest in gospel music. I could go on at length about the subject, believe me, but instead I'll let the music speak for itself. One hour of select grooves with a varied range of influences and one common denominator, that I put together at the request of Husband JF for his Soul Hole radio show on Soho Radio (NYC + Culture).

Casbah 73 Mix For Soul Hole on Soho Radio 24/06/21

Originally hailing from NYC but raised in Madrid, Spain where he is now based, Oli Stewart aka Casbah 73 spent the better part of the nineties scouring the US for vinyl, leaving no warehouse intact in his quest for the rare and the downright elusive. His knack for discovering, or bringing to light many an unknown classic, meant his reputation with DJs and producers around the globe was legendary.

"Like many, this enforced absence from dancefloors, from dancing, is something I missed so much this past year, a reality I really couldn't ignore when approaching this mix. It's been a time for taking stock, appreciating what we love, and seeing things from a new perspective.

In light of this, I decided the best thing to do was to simply tear things up, start at the beginning, approach the mix with a totally fresh mindset. Out with old habits and concepts! Shake it all up and see what drops out of the tree. So with this in mind, I fired up the equipment, hit play on the turntables and this, as they say, is what happened next. The result? From Disco to Detroit and back again. The old, the new, with particular emphasis on raw, loose sounds.

I hope you enjoy it and, more importantly, I hope we all get to see each other on a dancefloor somewhere soon!"

Release Text:
Osunlade is the highly revered, African American musician, producer, DJ and label boss at the edges of electronic and house music; whilst always staying firmly rooted in jazz and soul. 
 
Since the start of his career in the early 1990s, Osunlade has been steadily releasing critically acclaimed singles and albums on high profile labels such as Soul Jazz, BBE, Strictly Rhythm, and of course his own label, Yoruba Soul.
 
He also has a wide and varied remix track record, with reworks for the likes of Nightmares On Wax, Roy Ayers, St. Germain, 4 Hero, United Future Organization, Salif Keita and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

With Let’s Invade The Amazon being such a clear showcase of Casbah 73’s love for funk, soul and disco, the link to ask Osunlade was very logical. Hence, we’re very proud to have been blessed with his Yoruba Soul vision on it.
 
He has gracefully taken the original song’s natural vibe and transported us to his own universe; a warm, spiritual and uplifting journey. The result is a first-class Osunlade re-imagination, and a soon-to-be deep house classic.
  
‘Casbah 73 – Let’s Invade the Amazon (Yoruba Soul Mix)’ is out on all digital portals on June 10, 2022, via Boogie Angst. The vinyl release, which will also include the original and a further remix by JKriv, will drop as soon as possible as well.

Oli Stewart aka Casbah73 is our very special guest for the 22nd episode in our Curtis Radio "10 songs" series. Born in NYC and based in Madrid, he moved to the UK in the 90s where his DJ game was enriched and solidified when he got immersed in the flourishing rare groove, soul, funk, disco and house musical scene. His quest as a voracious digger and professional record dealer takes him around the world in search of the rarest, most elusive and precious slices of wax. As a result his collection grows to monumental proportions. Back to Madrid in the year 2000 he puts all his knowledge and experience to work both in DJ booths and the recording studios, achieving an original and very distinctive Casbah 73 sound and producing a string of high quality releases for labels like Lovemonk, Hitop, Glitterbox/Defected...Picking up only 10 songs out of a 18000 collection must be a big challenge. He sure did it with finesse and much style, but don't take our word for it. Just press play, turn it up and find out...Casbah 73 Love for you all!

Doing Our Own Thing

LV Disco Selectors 52 - Casbah 73

Includes excerpts from "The Bicentennial Blues", a track which I was none too fond of as a relative youngster, as it seemed to me then that The Blues was something older people invoked whenever they wanted to make you feel like you didn't know anything. I was also irritated by the very specific and (and to my very young self) seemingly meaningless political references in this track. For me back then, it was all about "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", "Home Is Where The Hatred Is", "The Bottle" or "It's Your World".  

Well, time passes and I went on to become a huge GSH fan, so much so I would probably have been happy to sit and listen to him reading from the phone book, let alone recite the Bicentennial Blues, and what seemed to me almost passé then has proven to be remarkably prescient today: the names have changed, the culprits haven't. 

Let's hope that he achieves the artistic and cultural position he really deserves, and soon.  People like Gil don't come along very often, he will be sorely missed.

Gil Scott-Heron - Angola, Louisiana (Casbah 73 Tribute Edit)

A little back story on this one, for those of you that may be interested. I'd wanted to do an edit of this wonderful track for ages but couldn't figure out how to approach it when along came Mark E with "Scared", an edit which solved the issue of how to deal with the two separate parts of the track beautifully - extend the intro, tease it out and simply drop into the main part of the original, leaving it as is. Brilliant! The only snag for me was that "Scared" wasn't in the style that I was looking for personally. So, I proceeded to copy Mark E's blueprint using a different groove. I filtered the intro and beat, jammed along on keys over the top, working it to the max, before dropping back into the original at the drop. I've had a lot of fun playing this one out over the years, it works equally well in house clubs and soul all-nighters alike. I've left the edit as is,  the way I first recorded it, nice and loose (nothing to do with locating 9+ year old files  on hard drives ;)). I hope you all enjoy it and play it out often and loud! 

CECIL WOMACK FOREVER!

Womack & Womack - Baby I'm Scared Of You (Casbah 73  Extended Edit)

Hey you! I want to start things off the right way, with some straight up dance floor fiyah in the shape of a li'l edit I put together a few years ago of this Webster Lewis classic club disco bomb. It's worked for me - every damn time - and I hope it works for you too.

You Deserve To Dance (Freamon Edit)

Willie Wright - I'm So Happy Now (Casbah 73 Edit)

Evinha's funky classic from 1971, such a special track. Couldn't resist tweaking it and adding a little something extra. 

First airing for this - have at it!

Evinha - Esperar Pra Ver (Casbah 73 Edit)

Anyone who has spent hours, days, years working in a studio writing and producing music will be familiar with this situation. On a whim, you open up ancient folders on an old hard drive and lo and behold, you discover entire, finished songs you had practically forgotten existed.

On this occasion, I've just stumbled upon an alternate version of "Welcome To The Casbah" featuring Prince Po. It originally came out on my second album, Pushin Forty (https://www.discogs.com/Casbah-73-Pushin40/master/504246), which came out way back when (or, nearly 10 years ago, to be precise).  

The og version is completely different, you can check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVxKcI-cnwc

 ...this one is less sample-based and features me on Fender bass & Strat grooving in a kinda latin-funk-disco sort of vein. It was finished but was never intended for the album - I stand behind the original 100 percent - but I think it's a cool tune and I'm happy to offer it here for free, for your pleasure.

Welcome To The Casbah (Tha Latin-Funk-Disco Unreleased Mix)

I've gone for a mid/uptempo vibe here, added strings, keys, bass, drums... all built around Kevin Moore's awesome vocals. Obviously, it's a completely different tune to the lovely, laid back original, it's all done out of genuine creative urges and total respect for the original artists and their inspiring work - I hope you all like it!

Kevin Moore - Speak Your Mind (Casbah 73 Rework)

I often get asked if this version is available when I play it out, so I thought it was high time that I toss this one out there. Just a bit of fun, mixing classic Blaze in with the original and adding a dash of Majka's superb vocals to spice things up. Therhythmtherhythmtherhythm is our...

Casbah 73 - Love Saves The Day (Percussion Jam)

After many happy years of playing this amazing, raw gospel number out as a personal dj "weapon" I thought it was time to share my edit with you all so I've given it a brand new makeover, road-tested it and I think you're gonna love this! 

I have many fond memories of seeing people dancing and losing it to this way back when, early 2000s at La Via Lactea. Nobody knew what this stuff was back then (gospel disco/funk?!) but nobody cared either, people just came to dance. It's gratifying when you get your own homegrown scene, lots of records from those days seems to be coming into their own now, which is great, but what was cool then was that nobody cared -  about what anyone else was doing elsewhere, just enjoying our own thing in complete freedom. Good times!

The Gospel Soul Revivals - If Jesus Came Today (Casbah 73 Edit)

Julius Brockington & The Magic Force - This Feeling ( Casbah 73 Edit)

When is loose, too loose? I decided to keep as much of that funky ass looseness as possible with this edit, resisting the urge to beef things up, while keeping it fresh for today's dancefloors. That bass!!

Casbah 73  - Doing Our Own Thing

The other day I stumbled across this incredibly uplifting video - if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favour (Insta: https://bit.ly/35AOstU  YouTube: https://bit.ly/2VHrqgo). It's by The Samples, performing a cappella outdoors with a brass band and segueing from Risin' To The Top into All Night Long. What a great vibe!! 

Well, I was just heading off to a party and I thought: that'd be a great one to play, lemme just add a little something to it. And, of course, as these things go, one thing led to another. And another...

Seeing how this was recorded, the quality is what it is, so enjoy it for what it is. Actually, if you think about it, it's two edits for the price of one. Speaking of which, it's a free download, so don't forget to show your appreciation. If you prefer not to use the free download gate, just shoot me a line.

The Samples - Risin' To The Top (Casbah 73 Edit)

Remastered & extensively reworked! Here's the scoop - I put this up on soundcloud a good while ago; just recently, I had a chance to go over it again and fatten the beats, tweak the groove & generally straighten things out. So here it is in all its shiny new glory, sounding good! 

Funky mid-tempo afro-cuban beats seguing into a furious descarga. Latin-Jazz, yeah!

FREE DOWNLOAD FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD!!

Roberto Anglero Y Su Congregación - La Besé (Casbah 73 Edit)

"Sweet Maybe" is a driving slice of sassy modern soul. A honeyed, sizzling affair with proper live band delivering the goods and featuring Bart Davenport on vocal duties. Over on the flip, the Synthstrumental version is a party jam that romps along in full-on disco-funk mode.

03 Casbah 73 - Sweet Maybe (Oh Honey! Digi-only Bonus Mix)

First time I open up the downloads on this funky disco bomb, I had quite a few requests - get it while you can! 

Gary's Gang  - Do It At The Disco (Casbah 73 Edit)

First time this is available digitally, free download for a limited time only, folks! 

The first time I heard Sivuca's amazing version of "Ain't No Sunshine" was around '89; acid house was all the rage and, quite frankly, pissing me off a little bit, so we decided to organise a rave of our own. One where you could hear all sorts of sounds. Case in point, the DJ dropped the Sivuca bomb at about six in the morning, the sweat was crawling up the walls and people started peeling off their shirts. It just blew everyone's minds. Then the police turned up. Luckily though, it was just some coppers coming off the night-shift and wanting a beer so we let them in and carried on. 

But I never forgot that moment and recently I decided that I really wanted to do a tribute to that great man and his band, of which this was the result.   

This is track A1 of a 12" vinyl-only release out on Kat Records. 
Mastering by Ebony Cuts.

Third and final track from the forthcoming Kat Records 12" release, track B2 and probably my favourite of the bunch. I really went to town on this one, had a lot of fun adding layers of percussion, latin piano, fat brazilian horns and a whole new chorus to blend in with the sweet original, a long time fave track of mine by maestro Manfredo Fest. I hope you enjoy the results! 

Special thanks to Dusty & Chip for your valuable input, and Lynn @ Ebony Cuts Mastering.

Sivuca - Aint No Sunshine (Casbah 73 Rework 2013) - My fav on the EP, beautiful intro and blissful percussion, has been treated with love

Bobby Beige, Garden Festival Resident [Croatia] - Casbah 73 edits show us some seriously good cut up Latin funk bombs. Manfredo takes us into carnival territory with it's big brass licks, whilst Red Hott gives us some Trouble Funk style rhythms and cut up samples. Sivuca rounds things off nicely with it's nice slowed down part before kicking back in again full tilt. Full Support,

Mark Milz, Radio Corax [Germany] - Essential stuff...really feelin' the "Big Fat Bottom edit" !!!

Dj Kwak, Strictly Niceness [Brussels] - Jungle Kitten Is just plain ridiculously good ... Aired upon arrival in the show tonight!!

Abe Borgman, Pura Sonica Radio [Costa Rica] Aint no Sunshine is a great and happy track....tropical feelings makes it lovely....I´ll play it !
