Beside the great vocal, there are different layers of jazzy keys and percussion that give the track a warm and uplifting feelin IN THE MIX WORLDWIDE DEEPER GROOVES ANTONIO OCASIO Featuring: Annette Taylor "NO DIFFERENCE" Here's another beautiful work by Tribal Winds label head, now on Deepa Grooves Records. Written and produced by Antonio Ocasio with Lou Rainone on keys (great job!) and Manuel Bizeau on congas, "No Difference" features sultry vocals by Annette Taylor.

I can't get it out of my head! Keep doing your thing. Respect. Best regards Rogerio This past Friday, StraightNoChaser welcomed a very, very special suprise guest from New York City. This man has long been not only a personal favorite of ours, but a producer and dj we very deeply respect, and has never played in Arizona. With releases on (among others) Masters At Work Records ('Little Louie' Vega & Kenny Dope's label), Wave Music (Francois K's label), and his own Tribal Winds, and with tracks appearing on Ibadan (Jerome Syndenham's label), OM Records (and many more), as well as creating the soundtrack "Maestro Documentary" --
Joe Dipadova The man played some of the juciest deepest jazz, tribal?, and latin bombs that I didn't even know were possible. Guess I've been sleeping. Mark Chai Antonio did not disappoint, playing deep as shit and true to his NY roots and production style. Sorry for those of you who missed out, Sean Badger a.k.a. dj Senbad Well, I now have to say that Antonio Ocasio is in my top five favorite producers/djs. I heard him at SNC on Friday and at Lemon Drop on Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed his set both times. He is quite known for his AfroLatin styled productions. He spun like he produces on Friday. At Lemon Drop on Saturday he was a bit more 4/4 but still had that ethnic thang goin' on. Mixin' was flawless. He is also a great person...at least that is the feeling I get from talkin' to him. Pete "Supermix" Salaz Big Up fellow chaps, geezers, birds and dee rest... THE man who is responsible for one of my favourite house tunes, that sounds like the best carribean music you will ever encounter, yet it has a deepness, that can uplift you several times throughout its length.... ' Echu Aye'.... and yes he dropped it, like a ton of bricks, at the right time.... it was as if he built up most appropriately and then lashed out with this massive tune. His set was immaculate, his vibe was electric, he was feeling his music as if he had just completed it... and he played some WICKED tunes, and remixes, and I know I say wicked a lot, but when I say it this time, it's as if the word was revamped to mean wickeder than the wickedest... I got to stay till the last tune and then some... I got to meet him and I must say he is one of the most benevolent "big names out there. The vibe was refreshing and ever-changing as the different crowds came in left and new ones came and left... and so on... a very evolving evening... Rani "G" If you missed it Deep on Sunday for Antonio Ocasio you truly missed out! PURE BLISS!!! I was floating on a cloud all night with a huge smile on my face....and based on the reactions and warm smiles...so was everyone else. It was a total New York vibe all night! Great appreciative crowd who I could tell were mostly there for him as well! Antonio took it to a whole other level...one guy who is a dancer that is always at deep got down on the dancefloor in front of the tables during the last two songs and was in a sort of meditation/prayer pose for a long time.... transcending his mind, body and soul...I'm sure you know what I mean! People were sweating and shouting the whole time. Just letting ourselves go...CHURCH!!! I got a chance to speak to Antonio before his set What an honor! I
always pick up your records from TRIBAL WINDS unlistened to because I
know they will be good! Your music is so important to me that l really
can't express it fully. I have probably seven or eight records of yours
and they all take me somewhere. They all mean something dear to me and
I always start my sets off with a Tribal Winds track. I think it lets
people know where I'm coming from and gives them a hint as to where we
will all be going. Thank you very much for the music my brother. Don't
give up on this thing. You are making something beautifull & it is
communicated through you as a gift. Your star is shinning brightly. Once
again thank you. YOU ARE BEING HEARD!!!! All
I can say is Tribal Winds is one of the deepest, most soulful, get down
labels there is in todays underground dance movement. There aren't that
many labels sharing inspirational vibes. Todays commercial warfare is
confusing the deep dance movement with politics that have nothing to do
with it. Tribal Winds expresses the real love for the music, from the
begining til today. keeping it real. Hi
antonio, Antonio Hello
antonio... Baba
Le'Seka ~ featuring spiritual vocalist Emilio Baretto singing in Yoruba,
this funky tribal track has one of the last recordings from renowned jazz
keyboard whizz Kimsen Pilaut who died last November. He was instrumental
in the song's direction mutating it from tech house to the more soulful
track we have here. The "Inner Dance Instrumental Mix" has a
great groove with freeflowing flute binding it all together for Tribal
Winds 18th release. It works great on the floor. The "Vocal Mix"
is more of a chilled affair with Emilio chanting and singing over a slow
build. OK so the Iyrics are not discernible but the African vibe certainly
comes across. The "Drum Mix" adds a good DJ tool too. 3/5
Yet another slab of deep and haunting vinyl from the master of all things
spiritual and meaningful. As with his previous output, quality is high.
I don't know where he gets all his positive energy from, but if he carries
on like this we will all be looking on the bright side of life. 5/5 Mr.
Ocasio, Antonio
"For
those of you who don't know who Antonio Ocasio is, then let me tell you
something,this man has got something for your mind, your body and your
soul, ain't that right ??? Antonio blessed us with a beautiful set on
Sunday Oct.15th @ "ANDALU", Washington D.C. For all of you promoters
out there I suggest you track this man down and get him to play. It was
one of the nicest musical experiences I had in quite a while." "A
very special thank you to all that attended and supported the last "SOLID
GARAGE" event that featured TRIBAL WINDS' recording artist ANTONIO
OCASIO. His spectacular hour set in the lounge and magical 3 hour set
in the main room are ones to be cherished for a long time." Aqua
de CoCo...Bien Dulce Whisper
Loudly I
can't recall the details when _________ played LEGENDS/LIFE, but I remember
the night Antonio blessed us. there was a crowd that wanted to be pumped
up and I did my thing and when it was time for Antonio to come on he was
like, "Yo I don't play all this pumpling house, I play much more
mellow. He got up there and changed the vibe to suit the direction he
was going and it definitely took some of the walk-ins for a loop, but
forget that, Antonio threw down the most unique set at LEGENDS ever to
this day! So much so that Francois K. was tripping out over his nerve
to be different and fell in love with the way antonio played. Mass appeal,
no! Daring, different and confident, yes! That's it! "Antonio,
once again I MUST say: thank you for your Music!!! It makes miracles and
dreams come true. Ok, check this.. My girlfriend lives in Paris, I in
Estonia - the distance is some 2000 miles and it really gets hard at times,
especially when you long for closeness, caress or whatever...Sometimes
troubles appear. But believe me or not: your Music has helped both of
us overcome all the obstacles. I mean: both me & she adore your creations
and it lifts us up, although physically so far from each other. And what
can i do but record more and more tunes for her...Boy.. it's emotional
but so true!!! You're a gift of life," I
want to thank you once more for joining us and giving us the chance to
meet you. For me it was an unforgettable experience. Keep producing wonderful
spiritual music. Keep spreading the vibe. We will always support you under
any circumstances. Last
year I got a copy of your "Romance en el Barrio." This one became
one of my favorite records in my large collection. I loved the percussion
work and the violin solo of this track. That was a few years ago. So I
got your records from the States, from United Kingdom and from Japan.
I hope, that I will get the whole discography. That’s what I’m
working on.
