the lab review

Angolan takeover! The penultimate volume in the Holler saga has a decidedly Kuduro slant and features remixes from Portugal's Kuduro kingpins Buraka Som Sistema, Angola's DJ Znobia, Radioclit and, of course, the dino-man. Buraka's remix of Skream's "Blipstream(1)" and "rewire" of Missy Elliot's "Work It(2)" hit the mark spot-on, but it's their 6+ minute collab with Diplo on "Um Milhao(3)" that's gonna be crushin' heads. (Love the super extendo intro, and Weezy just sounds dope over the fast-paced Kuduro beat.) Znobia flips Switch's "A Bit Patchy" and Jr. Reid's "One Blood" into the party break "Patchy Luanda(4)," and Radioclit come strong with their tasteful and bumping Fischerspooner remix, "Africa Emerge(5)." There's a reason these things are never around long... Recommended.
