Lodger - Odoo / Afro Cuts - 12" Vinyl

A pair of monstrous Fela Kuti reworks by a dude called Lodger. Dancefloor dynamite! The Nigerian funk overlord's 'Overtake Don Overtake Overtake (ODOO)' gets flipped on its back first. Lodger manages to turn the mellow, meandering original into a proper party anthem, adding some crunchy drums and upping the tempo a bit, while still retaining the loose funk of the source material. He also fucks around with cowbell loops for extra bonus points. Afro Cuts on the flip is equally badass and possibly even more anthemic than ODOO. Loose, frenetic drums, guitar licks, wailing sax, Fela chanting along and some cheeky effects here and there, it just works a treat.
