New York Born, Madrid domiciled @casbah-73 has been on fire over the last couple of years tearing it up with some sublime releases on Lovemonk, Boogie Angst and Glitterbox. Creating modern disco very much in his own image his tracks always stand out with obvious care attention to detail and a whole lot of love injected into their DNA.

His latest see's him continue his ongoing partnership with the excellent Madrid based @Lovemonk imprint which has previously borne some real gems. They have quite handily brought in Disco legend Dimitri From Paris @dfp on remix duties of Doing Our Own Thing and as you might expect from this heady combination of exciting upstart and legendary production wizard the resulting track is pretty incredible.

Check out Part 1 of the 2 part production here, which is landing on either side of a 7" at the end of the month, and then jump over to LV online for more info via: https://levisiteuronline.com/music/casbah-73-doing-our-own-thing/

LV Premier - Casbah 73 - Doing Our Own Thing (Dimitri From Paris Remix Part 1) [Lovemonk]

Two lesser-known but super funky Bobby Thurston tracks get The Reflex Revision treatment, taking these down and dirty boogie album originals and exposing both the Go-Go soul and house roots buried in the mix. Prelude stalwarts Willie Lester, guitarist/songwriter Rodney Brown and engineer Bob Dawson had brought their Washington D.C. sound to the label’s biggest successes, including those of Gayle Adams (“Your Love is a Life Saver”) and Sharon Redd (“Can You Handle It.”) For these slightly grittier Bobby Thurston tracks, Lester and Brown’s band feel every one of their slower beats (102 BPM for “I Know You Feel Like I Feel” and a hypnotizing 78 BPM for “I Want Your Body.”) From 1981’s The Main Attraction, “I Know You Feel” seduces you with old school brass and a traditional structure; it practically begs you to find a dance partner. Isolating the vocals and backbeat, The Reflex makes Louie Oxley’s filthy Go-Go Moog bassline the star of his Revision. He also reveals Theodore “Sugarbear” Jones’s fabulous but hidden Chic-esque guitar riff. 1980’s “I Want Your Body” features a more radical Revision from The Reflex, starting by exposing the lush strings and brass and holding off the “drop” of the funky drummer until the final minute of the song, by which time the sexual tension has reached breaking point.

When Sophie Lloyd produced ‘Calling Out’ she set out to create a track that would be uplifting in a time of doom and gloom, taking inspiration from the most uplifting of all genres, gospel. The vocals offered from soul trio Dames Brown along with Sophie’s impeccable understanding of disco and house made for a shining record, a breath of fresh air in the world of dance music. The record’s timeless qualities inspired remixes from Danny Krivit and Floorplan and now David Penn takes his turn, turning the record into a certified club cut with a driving bassline, while maintaining the soul and spirit of the record that made it so special.
