Following up their critically-acclaimed 2024 LP 'Avoude' (5 stars and 'Top of the World' on Songlines, Bandcamp top pick, Le Monde, BBC Radio, Pop Matters and more), Sol Power Sound is proud to present a blistering EP of remixes from the thrilling psychedelic West African outfit, Dogo du Togo & the Alagaa Beat Band. Combining iconic traditional Togolese rhythms and melodies, Dogo du Togo's sound is anchored in the country's often overlooked, but extraordinarily rich cultural history, reflecting the local Vodun religion and traditions that permeate everyday life in Togo.For the remixes, Sol Power Sound enlisted a cast of renowned producers to rework the scorching originals into deeper club-friendly burners. Captain Planet leads off the A side with a modern and percussive African house groove that will get any room with a pulse up and jumping. Sol Power All-Stars ask the question 'what if Prince joined Dogo du Togo in 1983?' and answer with a blistering dance funk track laced with synths, arpeggios, and Moog. Rounding out the A-side is Detroit legend John Beltran, who transports Dogo and crew to Bahia for an Afro-Brazilian Balearic heat rock. Perfect for your next sunset soiree. Blair French, another Detroit icon, leads off the B-side with a deep and organic house groove that works equally well day, night, or early morning. Sol Power All-Stars reappear again on side b with their mid tempo groovy Afrobeats flip of 'Von Na Agbeto', the one track that was not featured on Dogo's LP. Finally, DC mystery man Glenn Echo gets loose and trippy on the boards with a psychedelic digi dub (in 12/8!) that rattles your chest and puts your being directly into the echo chamber.
