Casbah 73’s ‘To Be Free’ and ‘Doing Our Own Thing’ had a fantastic response when released on a 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 make up a digital EP that is a must-have for fans of organic disco grooves with a housey attitude.
