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.
