A couple of months ago, we picked out our <a href="http://www.stampthewax.com/2013/08/05/top-five-fela-kuti-reworks/" target="_blank">Top Five Fela Kuti Reworks</a> to mark the 16th anniversary of his death. The overwhelming response was confirmation of the feeling that had compelled us to write the feature; that Fela's musical legacy still resonates strongly today. Another testament of this is Red, Hot & Fela, a new compilation marking the 75th anniversary of Fela's birth, containing 13 interpretations by ?uestlove, tUnE-yArDs, Spoek Mathambo, Nneka, Tony Allen and Chance The Rapper. Our standout, however, was an interpretation of 'Sorrow, Tears & Blood' by a selection of names who were initially a little less familiar: Grammy award-winning string ensemble Kronos Quartet and TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe.

Head Up High

Morcheeba - Make Believer

Sunny greetings from Greece! I asked my friend Testa to post this for me since I can't access the internet regularly while i'm away: Here's the beautiful DJ Testa (https://soundcloud.com/chrisfader-testa) Remix of my Lamb/K&D cover of Trans Fatty Acid (https://soundcloud.com/the-unused-word/trans-fatty-acid-cover)

Testa sent me a first version a few weeks ago, and since then I've been looking forward to this moment with great joy and happy impatience because it is massive! Peace and love from Greece - enjoy:)
