Nosaj Thing is amazing producer who’s recent album has topped charts. Although I find it a little dry and undanceable I still have an academic appreciation for most of their work . There remixes however, make me wanna move.
Make it to the end of the first track for a cameo by Eminem. I’d love to dislike Eminem but I just can’t. The guy has skills. The second track is hauntingly beautiful and reminds me of my favorite track of 2009.
When one of LA’s hottest producers picks up tracks by hip-hop’s reigning prince and indie’s love-torn darlings, only good things will come of it. Here Nosaj Thing remixes Drake’s “Forever” and The xx’s “Islands,” which, in a few words, sound like he sprinkled stardust on the tracks and this “Islands” remix is infinitely better than the original.
