s-endz > this is neofunk

S-Endz, AKA Casey Rain The Neosoulja. Songwriter, vocalist, producer, rapper, leader of NEOFUNK. Vegan. Member of electropop band Swami, co-wrote and performed on songs like 'DesiRock', 'Electro Jugni', 'Sugarless' & all songs from our upcoming album, "Upgrade". Sometimes I make documentaries.

I released my new solo EP "Chapter 0: REINKARNAL" recently and you should click here and listen to it. If you don't, you may die, of unrelated causes.

Spent the last couple of days rehearsing and filming a live jam with the band…. It’ll all be edited and go out to promote our upcoming album later this year… Here’s a few random photos I took on my phone! We did a proper photo session also so those photos will hopefully be up soon too :)

Just found this picture of me, Liana, Sups and Bobby from our “Electro Jugni” video shoot in 2007 :) Good times!

This is the fourth song from my new EP “Chapter 0 : REINKARNAL” - my cover/remake/re-interpretation of the classic 1994 R. Kelly hit “Your Body’s Callin”. I haven’t assigned it a chapter number because it won’t appear on the future total-package EP that will be on iTunes, Spotify, etc due to sample clearance issues. So enjoy, right here and right now is your only chance to get hold of this. Download it below, for free, but as always, feel free to pay any amount you choose to, if you want to.



Your Body’s Callin’
written, produced, performed and mixed by s-endz at neofunk studios
based on “your body’s callin’” by r. kelly
mastered by simon “subs” duggal

About six months ago, I realized that aside from a live jam of Prince’s “Controversy” during a Maida Vale session with my band Swami, I’ve never performed or released a cover. I set out to remedy this, chose this classic r&b joint from 1994, put my own twist on it…..and voila!

“gonna give you all my love….”

Got bored & wondered what “DesiRock” would sound like mashed with “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO.

Pretty sure I was buzzin’ on a caffeine shot right here… or maybe a beer or two, I forget lol. Shame about the mic distortion but it’s all good.

LOL at this random clip of us I just found. From a festival about 5 years ago. My hair was at it’s longest at this point, I think. The Big Ask…. what was that about then? ;)

I talked to Liana today for the first time in AGES. I probably last talked to her a couple months ago. It’s weird how we’re all so close in the band from being together 24/7 when we’re touring but then when we’re not on tour or recording we might not see each other for ages….
Anyway this pic of both of us is from the first gig Liana ever did with us, back in ‘07 I think. This gig was in London, filmed for the Desi DNA TV show and aired on BBC2. This was basically her audition for us, I think we threw her in the deep end! She passed the test with flying colors ;)
