In 1980, Sakamoto released the solo album B-2 Unit, which has been referred to as his "edgiest" record[24] and is known for the electronic song "Riot in Lagos",[24] which is considered an early example of electro music (electro-funk),[2][3] as Sakamoto anticipated the beats and sounds of electro.[4] Early electro and hip hop artists, such as Afrika Bambaataa [4] and Kurtis Mantronik, were influenced by the album—especially "Riot in Lagos"—with Mantronik citing the work as a major influence on his electro hip hop group Mantronix .[3] "Riot in Lagos" was later included in Playgroup's compilation album Kings of Electro (2007), alongside other significant electro compositions, such as Hashim's "Al-Naafyish" (1983).[25]
According to Dusted Magazine, Sakamoto's use of squelching bounce sounds and mechanical beats was later incorporated in early electro and hip hop music productions, such as "Message II (Survival)" (1982), by Melle Mel and Duke Bootee; "Magic's Wand" (1982), by Whodini and Thomas Dolby; Twilight 22's "Electric Kingdom" (1983); and Kurt Mantronik's Mantronix: The Album (1985).[26] The 1980 release of "Riot in Lagos" was listed by The Guardian in 2011 as one of the 50 key events in the history of dance music.[27] Read more on Last.fm.
