Tony Allen – Kilode (Wajeed Rework)

Detroit native Waajeed cut his teeth with Slum Village, before forming the Platinum Pied Pipers in 2002. Recently he’s stepped up solo and production projects – check his ace Marvin vs. WJK edits from last year – and for Honest Jons he’s totally re-worked Tony Allen’s tough Afrobeat rotest song: this is jazzy and soulful, percussive and a little bit bruk, with a gorgeous, searching vocal by Zaki Ibrahim. Together with an instrumental, and a grooving, roomy dub.
