Oli Stewart is Casbah 73. American-born, Madrid-based DJ, producer, vinyl collector and selector extraordinaire with several decades of experience under his belt.

Classic soul, funk and disco at its finest, with releases on mainstay outlets such as Glitterbox and Lovemonk, we’re extremely proud to have him in the Boogie Angst record bins.

Let’s Invade the Amazon is a highly grooved piece of live musical wizardry, with vocal performances to match. Beautifully extended and ongoing, the steady backbone interplay with funky electric pianos, with the occasional synth riff popping up for a breath of fresh air. And in the words of Casbah himself: “Quite possibly - no, definitely, the only soul-disco track ever to be inspired by Michael Mann's book “The New Climate War”, The Clash, Sun Ra... and Dr Seuss”. 

Next we find Pale Splash of Blue; some top shelf live Moog-, Rhodes- and Hammond featuring jazz funk. Punchy organs stab away alongside Casbah 73’s signature electric piano sprinkles, bouncing around his unique rhythmic groove. All resulting in a driving pace and attractive up-tempo moment; more than worthy of that evening beach club get-together.

On the flip-side we first find Osunlade, 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. Furthermore, 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. Hence the link to ask Osunlade for his vision on 'Amazon' was very logical, and is turning out to be a bonafide classic.

Finally, JKriv, the Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and label owner. with releases and remixes on labels such as Soundway Records, Glitterbox or his own respected record label, Razor-N-Tape. re-imagines 'Amazon' into a classy and exotic nu-disco scorcher. What else would you expect from the man who worked with the likes of Dimitri From Paris, Horse Meat Disco, and of course on his own nu-disco band Escort.

PREMIERE : Casbah 73 - Javari Takedown (Disco Mix)

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!

DC Promo Tracks: Casbah 73 "To Be Free" (Casbah Seventy Free Remix)

'Monsieur Dimitri from Paris works his magic on Casbah 73’s organic disco grooves with a remix treatment that surpasses all expectations.

‘To Be Free’ and ‘Doing Our Own Thing’ had a fantastic response when released on 12”, at the end of 2019.  It received wide support from people in the know like Red Greg, Danny Krivit, Folamour, Soul Clap, Kenny Dope and many others. The first pressing quickly sold out and the tracks were sounding strong on discerning dancefloors until, well, “The Thing” hit and everything stopped.

Despite this, the record has continued to grow by word of mouth, and so we thought it would be wonderful to have a 7” version with an edit or even a remix of the jazzy funky disco banger ‘Doing Our Own Thing’. No one better than Dimitri from Paris for the job, one of the DJs who happened to tell us he loved the track. His two-part edit of ‘Doing Our Own Thing’ is a bomb that will make people dance for years to come.

The original track features a phenomenal line-up of musicians, including strings, brass, percussion, vocals and whatnot. While preparing the stems for Dimitri to remix, Oli was surprised by the incredible amount of material he had from those recording sessions. He discovered some wicked takes that didn’t make it into the original mix and used this opportunity to create two new versions of ‘To Be Free’, both of which retain the organic groove of the original while adding new elements and a decisive turn towards the dancefloor.

Together with Dimitri’s remixes, these two tracks will make up the digital package, and it’s a must-have for fans of organic disco grooves with a housey attitude.'

PRINCE - 17 Days SCHROEDS Remix

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!

I Love The Build Up

When mixing, I often ask myself: 

"What would Marcel Duchamp do?" 

Which probably explains why I never post mixes online - live is the only true way to play. But I do love the build up. Anything goes, from fabulous underground disco - the best kind - to wonky, fucked up house'n'tech/no - the only kind. 

Unreleased edits, remixes, exclusive tracks, upfront promos. Oh, and that most difficult of genres: "new stuff that's not so new anymore". Everything tweaked, layered up and twisted, handcrafted & 100 % organic. If you like it, please like it, comment or share - it's much appreciated. Feel free to download.
