Lagos Shake: A Tony Allen Chop Up

Forward-thinking dance artists from around the globe reimagine the music of Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen in this enthralling collection. Detroit techno legend Carl Craig emphasises open space with his elegant, synth-infused remix of Allen’s “Kilode”. Diplo goes for a raunchier approach, piling on baile-funk drums and video-game effects in “Fuju Ouija”. Allen’s “Ole” gets two treatments: Salah Ragab & The Afro Egyptian Ensemble rework the soulful original into steamy Latin jazz, while Moritz von Oswald submerges his remix in moody dub-techno textures.
