Remix commissions can be quite strange, connecting two artists that you never thought would work together. First we had Alt-J remixing Moby, now the Mercury winners themselves have been reworked by Wu-Tang producer and de-facto leader, RZA.
It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, RZA seems to be a bit of an Anglophile lately (remember that ”dinners of fish and chips with vinegar, with a glass of cold stout” line from the James Blake track he collaborated on?).
The results are a thing of minimalism, with RZA adding an old school hip-hop background and flow. Listen to that beneath:
