The rhythm of the past meets the sound of the future, bridging generations on the dance floor. Celebrating 55 years of musical legacy, legendary funk pioneers WAR tap Myles O’Neal for an electrifying remix of their 1974 Grammy-nominated hit, The Cisco Kid. The reimagined track infuses tech-house energy into WAR’s signature blend of funk, soul, and Latin grooves, bringing a fresh pulse to an anthem that defined an era. The Myles O’Neal Remix transforms WAR’s original percussion-heavy groove into a modern club banger, layering deep basslines, infectious beats, and explosive drops while keeping the brass and essence of the classic intact. O'Neal said:
It's really such an honor to work with a legendary group like WAR. They have so many classics, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to put a twist on one of their timeless tracks.
Geoff Walker, A&R Consultant, Warner Music Group added:
Myles is adept at respectfully paying homage to the familiarity of original records. He created an EDM version that pleases both superfans and new listeners discovering WAR’s catalog in 2025.
Bridging eras, O’Neal masterfully blends electronic dance music with WAR’s timeless sound, introducing a new generation to the band’s legendary catalog. Marking their 55th anniversary, WAR continues their iconic legacy with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, exclusive anniversary releases, and festival performances in the UK this summer, including Love Supreme and a headline set at Mostly Jazz, Funk & Soul Festival 2025.
