And now for something completely different – the new cut from Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti and therefore heir to the afrobeat throne), as remixed by the formidably excellent Spoek Mathambo. Mathambo, if you’re a little late on this, is a South African DJ and producer, and a boundary pusher par excellence. Ever heard any spectral afrobeat? No, of course not, because it’s unthinkable, until an iconoclast like Mathambo comes up with it. His music is an unearthly and potent blend of genres with hair-raising and spine-tingling capabilities. But back to the lecture at hand: the Seun Kuti remix doesn’t disappoint, beefing up the original until it’s a little darker, a little more punk (fitting considering the political leanings of the original) and a lot more club-ready. Essentially, it’s nothing less than you’d expect from the man who coined the term “township tech” and brought us this juiced up Joy Division cover.  With any luck it’ll become this year’s version of this track and get mixed by all your favourite “bass music” DJs in venues all over the shop.
