Fela Kuti is one of my all-time favorite artist, both for his immense musical legacy, but also for his humanist political message. 

Here is a rework I dared to make of one of his last song, O.D.O.O. (overtake don't overtake overtake), released in 1989.

As much as I love the intense groove emanating from this almost 32mn-long track, I also find it particularly interesting as it's a kind of condensed summary of Fela's decades-long political fight. 

In this song he references in a kind of endless mashup some of his most famous tracks like "Zombie", "Shuffering and Shmiling", "Kalakuta Show" or "Unknown Soldier", to once again denounce the fake post-war emancipations of many African countries from colonies to military-led regimes pretending to be democracies.  

Hope you'll enjoy this condensed housy take, but whether you do or not, I guarantee you should take 32 minutes of your time to dig into the timeless original if you're not familiar with It already.

Cheers,

Jm / Vibes4YourSoul

Parisian producer and longtime Too Slow To Disco collaborator Vibes4YourSoul returns for his third TSTD Edits volume, this time a 2 track 7 Inch (olive) full of smooth, funky Brazilian vibes! (limited to 400 copies)

Too Slow To Disco regulars will remember his name from several relases so far: his standout remix for L’Impératrice on the “TSTD – En France” compilation, his remix for Poolside from “The Sunset Manifesto”, his edits on all 5 Yacht Disco Edit compilations, and the 2 quickly sold out double 7 inches with Edits we released in 2020 and 2022. He is one of the crème of new reworkers and edit-producers, that have specialized in those soulful, smooth slow jams and midtempo tracks, that Djs all love for their warm up sets. Vibes4YourSoul (aka V4YS) is a Parisian DJ and producer whose musical universe blends together elements of disco, rare groove, afro-latin and soulful indie, with the deeper edge of contemporary house and nudisco sounds.
A member of Yuksek's Partyfine label crew as well as of BPM DJs collective ("Blog des pépites musicales") , he's regularly revisiting old or contemporary tracks through edits and remixes, widely shared and played by numerous DJs. https://soundcloud.com/vibes4yoursoul

"An American Prayer" is a tribute record made in 1978 by the Doors to their late hero & leader Jim Morrison. 
Rather overlooked, this album is nevertheless full of great cuts. Ray Manzarek was once again at his best, designing great keyboards grooves perfectly matching some obscure (but fascinating)Jim Morrison's spoken words & poems.
I have been working on various edits or remixes from this LP these last few weeks. Here is a housy take revisiting the short latin-spiced jam "Latino Chrome".

The Doors - Latino Chrome (V4YS Rework)

One of the many recordings of Chaka Khan with Chicago band Rufus, "Live In Me" is part of their 1979 album "Masterjam", produced by Quincy Jones. 

Warm and groovy, this song is also a bit "cheesy" to me by moments, so here is a nudisco rework, where I kept the grooviest parts while adding some punchier beats & bassline.

A classic rare groove cut from Jamaican singer Sonya Spence, "Let Love Flow On" was released in 1981 as part of her LP "Sonya Spence Sings Love".
Here is my nudisco-kind-of revisit of it.
