Fela Kuti is one of my all-time favorite artist, both for his immense musical legacy, but also for his humanist political message. 

Here is a rework I dared to make of one of his last song, O.D.O.O. (overtake don't overtake overtake), released in 1989.

As much as I love the intense groove emanating from this almost 32mn-long track, I also find it particularly interesting as it's a kind of condensed summary of Fela's decades-long political fight. 

In this song he references in a kind of endless mashup some of his most famous tracks like "Zombie", "Shuffering and Shmiling", "Kalakuta Show" or "Unknown Soldier", to once again denounce the fake post-war emancipations of many African countries from colonies to military-led regimes pretending to be democracies.  

Hope you'll enjoy this condensed housy take, but whether you do or not, I guarantee you should take 32 minutes of your time to dig into the timeless original if you're not familiar with It already.

Cheers,

Jm / Vibes4YourSoul

I’m a full-time artist with a part-time music obsession. Music has been soundtracking my studio life for years so eventually i gave in and learnt to mix- stealing rhe Bluetooth connection at parties didn’t cut it anymore. Turns out, mixing tunes isn’t that different from pouring molten metal: timing, flow, and a little bit of danger and working under pressure!

Expect punchy beats, happy disco, cheeky remixes, nostalgic samples, and the kind of tracks that give you goosebumps in weird places. I don’t do slow builds. I’m here for the joy, the energy, and the occasional hands-in-the-air moment.

Not in it for the fame. Definitely not in it for the money. Just here to share good music, good energy, and the occasional questionable dance move.

Disclaimer: I don’t own the rights to any of the music I mix - I’m just borrowing brilliance to pass on the feeling.
