WWW.MUSEZ.TVDeep house jams in good hands with Sadar BaharBy Ytasha L.
WomackSpecial to the TribuneIf you thought the late-1980s deep house scene was
a thing of thepast, lost in dusty records and Mendel Catholic High School
yearbooks,you might not know Sadar Bahar.
Known as "the deejay's deejay," Sadar Muhammad Bahar is one of the fewto play
old-school house and rare disco exclusively. "A lot of stuff Iplay, [other
deejays] don't play," said Bahar. "Maybe they'll find ityears later, if
they're lucky," he said, laughing. However, Bahar'spenchant for discovering
lost hits and rare grooves has made himlegendary, earning him renown as one of
the "deepest" deejays around.
"He does his own thing," said Eric "Boolumaster" W. of WPWX-FM 92.3.He doesn't
care what other cats are playing. He'll find those B-siderecords that are hot.
He just plays good music. He's straightunderground and I love him for being
that way."
Bahar began deejaying during the height of the house music era, in
themid-'80s. "I grew up around deejays," said Bahar, a South Side
native."Steve `Silk' Hurley, Eric Taylor, Charles Breckenridge, we grew up
inthe same neighborhood." However, while other house deejays hostedlarge
bashes or went on to producing, Bahar remained largelyunderground, spinning in
Chicago, New York, Miami and overseas. Heeven worked the local roller rink
circuit, known for its affinity forJames Brown cuts and old funk songs. "I
deejayed at the GlenwoodRoller Rink for 15 years," he said.
But Bahar's dedication to his craft has garnered respect, if not
morewidespread fame. Several deejays, upon retirement, handed Bahar
theirentire collection. "They knew I'd do them justice," said Sadar.
"That's great that he's keeping the tradition alive," said Grammyaward winning
producer and local NARAS chapter president Hurley. Heremembers Bahar's early
days: "There's no way if you're playing thebest music that you can overlook
the early house or disco."
Although Bahar plays house, you won't hear popular, track-laden songsor
programmed disco. "I like live instrumentation," said Bahar,"especially if it
has a good vocalist." Funk jazz by Roy Ayers andBlack Smoke, disco by Minnie
Riperton, B-side dance songs by PattiLaBelle and the Bluebells, or Afrobeat by
Fela Kuti are just a sampleof the hard-to-find tunes Bahar throws into the
mix.
"I'm always looking for something deeper that no one else is playing,"said
Bahar, who scours music stores, thrift shops and libraries acrossthe globe for
classic records. "I have about 14,000 records in all,"he says. "I probably
have one of the largest Fela collections on wax,too."
While many Chicago deejays have fans, Bahar's style of mixing hasspawned a
devout underground following affectionately known asSadarnites--a hodgepodge
of music lovers, house heads and professionaldancers, who have been known to
dance in a heated frenzy for eighthours straight. Take his legendary parties
at Slick's, an all day jamthat kicked off at 3 p.m. andlasted after midnight.
"We had to blacken the windows to give peoplethe impression that it was
night," said Bahar.
"His audience goes crazy because he's playing to the point where youcatch
feelings," said Boolumaster W. "It's like, `Oh my God, thisguy's snapping.'"
But it's this spirit of freedom through movement, and music inspiredfun, a
core element of old school house, that Bahar wants toencourage.
"People think we're on something different," said Bahar, "but it's just
music."--@ Light Gallery440 e.17th stcosta mesa
