OVEOUS<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

So what does an OVEOUS playlist sound like?\u00a0 <\/span>The music that Osunlade plays.\u00a0 <\/span>Percolating percussions.\u00a0 <\/span>Meditative melodies.\u00a0 <\/span>Ancestreal chants.\u00a0 <\/span>A major difference being OVEOUS spits verses, live.\u00a0 <\/span>Holding in hand a microphone he raps, \u201cFind your friends on the dance floor. Or make new friends on the dance floor.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Osunlade and OVEOUS are arguably interchangeable.\u00a0 <\/span>The latter having been mentored by the Yoruba priest, is a member of the Yoruba Recordings family.\u00a0 <\/span>Debuted as OVEOUS MAXIMUS, he first released, \u201cI Apologize<\/a>\u201d (The Remixes) over a decade earlier.\u00a0 <\/span>The Ezel Remix brings back fond memories when the music selector sings, \u201cI\u2019m so sorry. (3X) I apologize.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>That has you mouthing along in harmony.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The same is true when the vocalist follows with \u201cLegacy<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The latest floor thumper from OVEOUS x Don Kamares speaks.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWatch me move.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Your body jumps with joy.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI Get Busy.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Your feet land on the tile.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cYou\u2019s a fool.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>You shake your ass.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osunlade returns to the DJ booth, whispering into OVEOUS\u2019 ear when DJ Hermes featuring Fly\u2019s \u201cSing It Back<\/a>\u201d (Afro Mix) plays.\u00a0 <\/span>Flashback, months earlier, when Osunlade debuted the song at Rocksteady in Atlanta during Black History Month.\u00a0 <\/span>The Moloko cover wins cheers of approval from the District of Columbia crowd.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With Osunlade taking a seat on the couch in the flowery booth.\u00a0 <\/span>Afefe Iku\u2019s \u201cMirror Dance<\/a>\u201d (Yoruba Soul Mix) springs to life.\u00a0 <\/span>As OVEOUS performs his spoken word for those in the know.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cBreak it down, come through,\u201d he continues into the microphone.\u00a0 <\/span>Then joined by his brother who takes the helm of the music\u2019s journey from there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, no pictures in the room.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Says security.\u00a0 <\/span>The woman wearing the leg brace.\u00a0 <\/span>It is easy to forget this is Flash<\/a>. Where the use of cameras or video recorders are not permitted. As to not ruin the vibe. The vibe that at the moment, gives life to Sunday Love.\u00a0 <\/span>Mother Earth sprouting branches hangs as wall art.\u00a0 <\/span>On the patio, a woman paints a silhouette in progress.\u00a0 <\/span>Overheard are several conversations underneath the twilight sky.\u00a0 <\/span>A vape.\u00a0 <\/span>A smoke.\u00a0 <\/span>Anyone?\u00a0 <\/span>Onlookers on the balcony admire the pretty boys gathered on the rooftop at the neighboring gay bar. \u00a0 <\/span>Feeling the cooling of dusk.\u00a0 <\/span>Back inside, a young woman hurriedly sets up a table for face and body painting. \u00a0 <\/span>Along the back wall of top-shelf liquor, cash registers happily sing.\u00a0 <\/span>The bar keeps spirits lively.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne water, please?\u201d You ask over Guti & Dubshape\u2019s \u201cEvery Cow Has A Bird<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere,\u201d The bartender points.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIs a water station.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Where free lemons are served too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember the days, when DJs entered the room lugging vinyl packed in crates to play?\u00a0 <\/span>Today\u2019s DJs tote an entourage.\u00a0 <\/span>A cast of characters.\u00a0 <\/span>Who are crowned with dreads, head wraps, dressed in head-to-toe white, wearing hanging beaded neck art.\u00a0 <\/span>Onward the DJ booth they arrive.\u00a0 <\/span>As Austin Ato\u2019s \u201cHeat<\/a>\u201d eschews from hanging overhead sound ware.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who better to play Flash\u2019s Green Room than Osunlade?\u00a0 <\/span>The Man With No Past Originating the Future<\/a><\/em> appears at home surrounded by woody structures meets earthy textures.\u00a0 <\/span>Touch the faux turf aligning the walls. That upholds rustic rails criss-crossing the ceilings.\u00a0 <\/span>Before giving way to an open-air oasis.\u00a0 <\/span>Autumn\u2019s fragrance flooding the bar to the DJ booth.\u00a0 <\/span>Where gorgeous leafy plants fall from baskets, the room\u2019s chandeliers. Planted between two giant disco balls amongst hues of cobalt and sapphire dancing above their heads.\u00a0 <\/span>The attendees who know what to do on Sunday Funday.\u00a0 <\/span>Who are actually<\/i> contributing to the environment.\u00a0 <\/span>Their dancing!<\/span><\/p>\n

OSUNLADE<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2030<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Resembling a box of Colors of the World crayons.\u00a0 <\/span>Their faces appear seasoned. The aged 30 and over are not packed tight closely. Not stuffy.\u00a0 Nor suffocating.\u00a0 <\/span>Pockets of space open here and there, if one eyes closely.\u00a0 <\/span>There is ample room to shoki to Osunlade\u2019s opener, Moodymann Live @ Cutloose 2nd Birthday Party, yes, that sample, is flipped into a four-count thumper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the acoustics within the soundscape lack.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cBlack Woman Cry<\/a>\u201d sounds muffled.\u00a0 <\/span>The lows are missing.\u00a0 <\/span>That throws dancing feet off.\u00a0 <\/span>Louie Vega featuring Moodymann\u2019s \u201cSeven Mile<\/a>\u201d should be felt.\u00a0 <\/span>And heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps, Osunlade is tired.\u00a0 <\/span>Low on energy.\u00a0 <\/span>He swerves into Emmanuel Jal\u2019s \u201cHey Mama<\/a>\u201d and at 2 minutes and 50 seconds he whips into G-Washington\u2019s \u201cWarrior Mbube<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The High Priest of House drives the music as if he has somewhere else to go.\u00a0 <\/span>To a place where songs are not allowed to reach their fullest potential.\u00a0 <\/span>The tricks of hip-hop DJs.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba sings \u201cAmathamsanqa Uyimbube\u201d at the music break, you realize Osunlade is dictating the pulse of the room.\u00a0 <\/span>The space.\u00a0 <\/span>The vibrations.\u00a0 <\/span>The aura.\u00a0 <\/span>The movement.\u00a0 <\/span>The dance floor.\u00a0 <\/span>When finally!\u00a0 <\/span>The acoustics come to life, cranked to hi-resolution clarity that makes ears happy and feet dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In walks two dancers. One does the splits on the long floor titles. Then with arms bent back she performs the wheel.\u00a0 <\/span>Another dancer wearing a gold cropped tee and black flair pants joins the fun. As the two sway, stomp and drop to perhaps, the smoothest floor danced on in ages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osunlade creates moments.\u00a0 <\/span>Moments becoming memories.\u00a0 <\/span>Memories that keeps music alive.\u00a0 <\/span>Forever.\u00a0 <\/span>Like your first experiences.\u00a0 <\/span>Osunlade playing in a basement of a soul food vegan restaurant circa 2007.\u00a0 <\/span>Hearing the Lonely Mix of Tortured Soul\u2019s \u201cI Might Do Something Wrong\u201d when walking into the basement of a dark and smoke-hazed club in 2003.\u00a0 <\/span>And dancing to \u201cBoddydrummin\u2019\u201d at Movement in Detroit in 2009.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight is all about being in the moment.\u00a0 <\/span>Memories are made.\u00a0 <\/span>When hearing Soulfreakah\u2019s \u201cCure For A Heartache<\/a>\u201d for the first time.\u00a0 <\/span>That radiates love and light on the dance floor. Bodies in motion unified.\u00a0 <\/span>As one.\u00a0 <\/span>Your new favorite song forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Steva\u2019s \u201cOro<\/a>\u201d electrifies with ballsy brass but \u201cMomma\u2019s Groove<\/a>\u201d recalls time spent in a Detroit bar. Where a floppy-haired DJ eyed you tearing up the floor to The Jimpster\u2019s Hip Replacement Mix.\u00a0 <\/span>The lad\u2019s lips telling, \u201cI look at you dancing that determines what song I play next.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The inspiration, \u201cIdiosyncrasy<\/a>\u201d drops you to your knees in front of her gyrating torso.\u00a0 <\/span>Your back touching the floor as you lift your arms behind your head.\u00a0 <\/span>Your eyes are closed.\u00a0 <\/span>In reclining supta virasana she sits on your torso for a sensual dancing of two meeting souls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s playing for the ancestors!\u201d A man shouts running into the room.\u00a0 <\/span>His fist pumps the air, welcoming the coming ancestors courtesy, \u201cCantos a Ochun Et Oyun<\/a>.\u201d (Juan Valentine Re-Edit)<\/span><\/p>\n

Osunlade is having his moment.\u00a0 <\/span>One of conservative dress.\u00a0 <\/span>Black-rimmed glasses. A buzz cut. No Gastropod shells dangling from earlobes. No nose jewelry.\u00a0 <\/span>Instead of hand woven robes, he reps a black Funkbox NYC tee.\u00a0 <\/span>Although, his bare feet taps the floor. Osunlade appears more like a professor on his day off, than a Black hippie his Osunladites have come to respect.\u00a0 <\/span>These days, his appearance matches his DJ delivery.\u00a0 <\/span>The stand and play music.\u00a0 <\/span>Osunlade, no longer the animated performer he was pre-pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDande siempre mucha importancia,\u201d you and her sing at the top of your lungs when running by each other.\u00a0 <\/span>The lyrics to the Japanese outfit Jazztronik\u2019s \u201cDentro Mi Alma,\u201d recalls the time you first heard the Yoruba Soul Remix recorded on CD for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho gets mad at bubbles?\u00a0 <\/span>The face and body paint entrepreneur asks.\u00a0 <\/span>Okay, you might be pissed for a minute.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>She continues. \u201cBut get over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Out comes a pink gun.\u00a0 <\/span>Pointed into the air.\u00a0 <\/span>Before she makes around the room serenading the dancers in falling orbs to DJ Dozia\u2019s \u201cPop Culture<\/a>\u201d (KiNK Mix).<\/span><\/p>\n

Be careful not to trip over your wide-leg pants to Shimza featuring Maleh\u2019s \u201cFight to Love<\/a>\u201d (Floyd Lavigne Remix).\u00a0 <\/span>Comparatively speaking, the Louie Vega Remix is played most often at soulful house parties.\u00a0 <\/span>But the Floyd Lavine Remix is more fun.\u00a0 <\/span>That hits different, dark and deep.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the writing on your shirt say?\u201d A cutie asks with a budge in his tight-wasted denim.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your reply.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201c#icameheretodancewithyou.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Osunlade\u2019s Yoruba catalog stays front and center for a curated soundtrack.\u00a0 <\/span>That ocassionally allows others to shine.\u00a0 <\/span>Alberto Santana\u2019s \u201cOrion<\/a>\u201d is a progressive number of scattering drums that disappears for possibly, the slowest and longest buildup ever before the beat crashes hard on mops of hair, ball caps and braids.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the beats.\u00a0 <\/span>The beats keep coming and coming.\u00a0 <\/span>Ouch!\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cSimpatico<\/a>\u201d slaps faces. Damn!\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cDionne<\/a>\u201d drops on heads like bombs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osunlade lights one up!\u00a0 <\/span>Literally.\u00a0 <\/span>The haze in the booth even dances around him.<\/span><\/p>\n

The acoustics reach an apex where the side wall angles and meets the bar.\u00a0 <\/span>Just be careful of the exiting bartenders.\u00a0 <\/span>This is the perfect spot to rest as the music missteps.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t die on me now,\u201d says the young cutie walking by as the most boring version of Atlantic Starr\u2019s \u201cSend for Me\u201d limps along. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2300<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou keep dancing.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>You tell the two dancers walking out the door.\u00a0 <\/span>Leaving the venue.\u00a0 <\/span>Their smiles say it all.\u00a0 <\/span>Amazingly, how moments in time are created with people who you will never meet in life again.\u00a0 <\/span>Moments that metamorphosis into memories.\u00a0 <\/span>Memories that last a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like the music played.\u00a0 <\/span>Songs metamorphosis from obscure to favorites for life.\u00a0 <\/span>Osunlade plays that music.\u00a0 <\/span>Heart and soul music.\u00a0 <\/span>That sticks.\u00a0 <\/span>Leaving the crowd satisfied.\u00a0 <\/span>Full of life.\u00a0 <\/span>As they trek down flights of stairs against painted red graffiti walls.\u00a0 <\/span>You smile.\u00a0 <\/span>And giggle.\u00a0 <\/span>As they spill into the city street of the nation\u2019s capital.\u00a0 <\/span>After having experienced a most magical night.<\/span><\/p>\n
