'Diverse, intermittently moving reworkings of the Afrobeat king's tracks' MOJO
Read the full review here : http://webassets.emimusic.co.uk/parlophone/MOJO.jpg

Lagos Shake, a remix album featuring the work of GBQ's own Tony Allen, is out this week on Honest Jon's. It's a storming summer record, perfect for these scorching temperatures!

Two years ago, Honest Jon's travelled to Lagos with Tony, to make his first recordings there since his time with Fela Kuti — an album entitled Lagos No Shaking, a classic of contemporary Afrobeat. Honest Jon's invited friends of the label old and new to take these tunes and do whatever they wanted with them - and the result is Lagos Shake.

The album features legends of dance music including Basic Channel in Berlin and founding father of Detroit techno, Carl Craig; young tigers like Dizzee Rascal's Newham Generals; MIA producer Diploin Baltimore and carioca sensations Bonde Do Role from Rio De Janeiro; plus new recordings from Cairo, Saturn, Bogota and Kingston, Jamaica.

Afrobeat, dub, jazz, chalupa, electro, highlife, techno, grime, carioca, champeta and funk from all corners, fizzing away together — it could only be Honest Jon's!

Ah I heard the 'Lagos Shake' LP being played 2 weeks ago in the record shop at Leeds! From the moment I heard it...

I knew I had to get it.
