Listen: Toro y Moi x Star Slinger – New Beat (Dancehall Mix)
Some people spend their entire lives struggling to realise or achieve their true potential, burdened by procrastination, writer’s block or perpetual underachievement.
Star Slinger is definitely not one of these people, ever lending his hand and putting his picket to any new track hovering at the top of Hype Machine, turning every track he touches into some recraved nugget of electronic and funk gold.
Here the UK producer has shown no lack of confidence, reworking one of the standout tracks from Toro y Moi‘s brilliant Underneath The Pine.
Steering away from the glitch beats and soul samples formula he has become increasingly known for, this remix of ‘New Beat’ sees Star Slinger infuse a Caribbean vibe with dancehall-inspired percussion of steel drums, muted bass and hand clapping.
Stream and download below, stick your headphones in at work, kick back and have a great Tuesday.
