Luaka Bop Remix

David Byrne's Luaka Bop label have put out many releases, they eliminate the unnecessary, useless and non pleasure-giving information, and deliver only that which has been proven to stimulate, to soothe and to satisfy. With an emphasis on World Music, they represent some of the most diverse talents on the planet from Brazillan artists like Tom Ze, Peruvian folk singer Susana Baca, American 70's Soul legend Shuggie Otis, to current afro soul beats from Zap Mama.

In this compilation these collection of artists have had their tracks re-interpreted by some of the world's great remixers. Masters At Work, Koop, Fila Brazilla, The Scratch Perverts, King Britt, Dimitri From Paris and Nightmares On Wax to name a few have reworked some of the best tracks the Luaka Bop catalogue has to offer, applying their slick cosmopolitan attitude toward world music.

Classics like the Shuggie Otis 'Strawberry Letter 23' One Rascal mix are already highly sought after and this opens up the journey in to this musical treasure trove.
