Review: Gabriele Poso - Maraviglia Remixes (AG Records)

Gabriele Poso brings us a unique remixed view of the 'Mara Viglia' as the 3 wise monkies as "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" as a dancefloor promotion of moral integrity and avoidance of negativity.

You'll recall percussion masster Poso brought us the album 'Maraviglia' earlier this year (see review HERE) and after performing live at London's legendary Ronnie Scott's (September 3rd), here are the remixes you didn't know you needed by 3 wise monkeys that swing in different forests!

Even so, by extreme contrast to Dean St, the total outta space ship of 'AM' by Dodi Palese takes the track into a nuclear power late-night dancefloor "stretching its rhythms and cosmic textures into a driving c'lub cut - peak-time dancefloor moment".

Does the out do legend of the Yoruba Soul Mix?  Osunlade delivers a deep, soulful rework of 'Maraviglia' opening up the original groove with a sophisticated funk touch and a warm, cosmic feel reminiscent of the Leroy Burgess school of New York boogie. His version keeps the spirituat and percussive DNA of the original while giving it a timeless, late-night dancefloor pulse. 

To finish, it must be the sound of the drum with 'Drum Flow' as envisioned by Matt & Quincy as a Extended Vision as a hypnotic, funk-driven journey, built around an obsessive mantra-like synth that slowly builds tension before sending the groove soaring into a euphoric into a hypnotic, funk-driven journey, built around an obsessive mantra-like synth that slowly builds tension before detonating into a euphoric, percussion-heavy dancefloor bomb.

Together, the three remixes expand the 'Maraviglia' universe from deep, spiritual grooves to late-night club energy connecting Gabriele’s Mediterranean and Equatorial rhythmic language with the worlds of house, cosmic disco, New York boogie and global dance music.

Review: Vince Watson - Eminesence (Cee ElAssaad, Atjazz & Osunlade Remixes)

Vince Watson returns with a famous 3 on the remix: Cee ElAssaad, Atjazz & Osunlade all get in on the action and all get it spot on!

As we know from the re-issue / remake /  rework / remodel of Vince Watson's classic track 'Eminesence' (see review HERE), 2026 has already been packed with new varients of classic tracks already, most notable Razor-N-Tape's re-invention of Alistair Colling vs. Tortured Soul ft. Sabina ,'When You Find Your Love... Hold On' (see review HERE - with new DJ Spinna and Musclecars Remixes) and Fish Go Deep's 'Love's Cloth' (see review HERE),

So lets keep 'em coming!  This time its remix versions of 'Eminesence' by 3 of the most regular artists found on YATM.

And as the original track was on Osunlade's label, before being picked up by Defected, you can guarantee Osunlade will be on the guest list for taking on for a Yoruba Soul groove sound along with some Italo-balearic saxy house with some mesmeric percussion to give it that jazzy throb.

Along with an Atjazz remix that skips along with piano twinkles with dub overtones and Ce ELAssaad does his spiritual house sound that'd sit next to Claussell, Trent, Vega for it's focus on Latin and piano solo focus. 

Not surprisingly, the vinyl version of the Rework It looks like it's already sold out on some of the major online retailers so get your orders in for the remixes of Watson's "delicious piano squencies, light chords and majestic vibesgt  that effortlessly scale towering heights" NOW!

Review: Erin Buku - Listen (Inc. Osunlade, LDLDN, Leonard Charles Remixes) (Inner Tribe)

We've heard many a tune from the Melbourne/Naarm area over the years but here's a new release on Tribe Records outta Adelaide, Australia for the R&B/Soul fans by Erin Buku and you better 'Listen'!

The record label thinks this track evokes the spirit of Masters At Work, perhaps on the beaches of South Australia but within touching distance of an urban disco.

And if you can't get a MAW remix, Osunlade is a bigger name alternative that can turn the emotional soul vocals into a highlight with a stripped broken beat backing; shame we don't get more of the guitar solo which would give it more of an acid jazz vibe.

If you know Leonard Charles' work with Inkswel, Leroy Burgess and Robert Owens, you'll be excited to hear the Leonard Charles disco dub remix

When it comes to mixing up a genre, LNLDN has many strings to his bow/remix equipment and this has more of you're Brand New Heavies about it plus the vocal message of hope and understanding.   I can hear this as an summer anthem, especially at We Out Here Festival with Gilles Peterson et al.

This EP gets better as the tracks get longer so one for all the DJs out there.

Review: Fred Everything - Love, Care, Kindness & Dubs (Lazy Days Recordings)

Lazy Days Recordings' re-imagination of 'Love, Care, Kindness with Dubs, Alternate takes and remixes' is as mesmerising as the original.

At a time when we're all raving about Clive From Accounts, remembering the remix of  Fred Everything's 'Soul Love feat. Stereo MC’s (see review HERE and Clive From Accounts' YATM interview HERE) here's the 'extra' album to follow 'Love, Care, Kindness' original that came out last May (see review HERE)

Packed with the great and the good, from the Atjazz Galaxy Aart Remix of 'Asolee', different mix of 'Never' featuring Robert Owens (that's already had the remix treatment by Osunlade and Waajeed, see review HERE) and our favourite James Alexander Bright, a Lazy Dub of 'Breather' (don't forget the orginal, see review HERE and the Rocco Rodamaal Remixes, see review HERE).

So even the keenest of fans might be wondered what else is there in this album? Well, there's the instrumental of 'Hope Is On The Horizon' that can then focus on flute and the funky keys, a proper dub of 'A Long Coming' and a new arrangement of 'Evening Ghost' made at the MUTEK festival in Montreal by Fred.

And talking flute gang, 'Broken Flute Thing' is a brand new previously unreleased track and the instrumental version of 'A Long Time Coming' of previously used as an backing track for an interview with Dom Servini's Jazztronics show on Jazz FM (see below)

If you've got the original album, the new of these 'companion' version is a no brainer to follow it up and get this, if you've not got it, if you start with this one, you want be disappointed and it stands as a great album on its out merits.

Review: Kiko Navarro ft. Nader Behravan - You Take Over (inc. Osunlade Remix) (Afroterraneo)

This is absolute brilliant madness as the Baleraic beach is now an acid house vs. tai chi dancefloor.

Fans of Kiko Navarro will be aware of his 'Sounds Of My Breath' collaboration with Tai Gung/Qigong expert Nader Behravan (and Navaro fan) but the idea of Osunlade 'Yoruba Soul' remix has turned mantra of 'less is more' on its head(stand) pose.

There's seems to be a trend with acid at the moment with the new Hieroglyphic Being album 'There Is No Acid In This House (Soul Jazz Records) and, of course, our favourite 303 in you're disco with Daniel Wang's 'DSDN EP' (Paloma).  Any coinsidence, that Osunlade made his name at Soul-Jazz with his Yoruba Soul sound?

Nader is a perfect instructor but if you find his spoken word distracting there's an instrumental version.  Osunlade is not scared of it as he takes it fully on-board as he takes us on a smooth trans-euro 303-acid drop trip . 

Shame no Kiko Navarro Motor City Jazz Remix but perhaps it's in the pipeline.  Video's of Nader's breathing technique can be found on Kiko's web site for further enlightenment. 

P.S. Osunlade is also featured in the latest copy of FAITH, Winter 2022 vol. 3 #8
