Myles O’Neal – has done a remix of WAR’s ‘The Cisco Kid’

The cultural impact of the band WAR cannot be overstated. For over a half century WAR have been making legendary albums that connect deeply to the souls of music fans. Their records ‘Spill The Wine’, ‘Low Rider’, and ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends’ are ubiquitous.  In 1973, the critically acclaimed album, The World is a Ghetto was named Album of the Year by Billboard, and its second single, ‘The Cisco Kid’, reached No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. 
 
They have seamlessly fused the genres of Funk, Soul, Jazz, Latin music and Rock – while simultaneously building one of the most diverse fan bases throughout the globe. Their live shows consist of fans from all different backgrounds, races and religions united under the positive energy of the music. 
 
Myles O’Neal is leading the next wave of DJs & Producers that have blasted onto the music scene. He bridges the gap between eras with his unique ability to blend the genres of Tech-House, R&B, Rap, Funk, Soul and Electronic Dance Music.  
 
‘The Cisco Kid – Myles O’Neal Remix’ is an infectious groove with WAR’s iconic percussion and brass instruments that O’Neal masterfully recreates into a thumping baseline with huge crescendos and deep drops.

“Myles is adept at respectfully paying homage to the familiarity of original records. He produced an EDM record that is pleasing to the superfans, while simultaneously creating a version pleasing to the ears of the new fans discovering WAR’s catalog in 2025. That’s not easy to do.  It’s why I felt Myles is the right producer to flip and remix a classic like ‘The Cisco Kid’” – Geoff Walker (A&R Consultant Warner Music Group)

“It’s really such an honour 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.” – Myles O’Neal
