Pretty Lights released a remixtape recently, with a bunch of unreleased remixes that he'd been playing at live shows for the past year or so, and this is one of the best of the bunch. Derek takes Biggie's "Juicy" acapella, drops it over the "Empire State of Mind" beat with Key's chorus and adds in a few very subtle womps and some bass. It's the song he's been closing his shows with, and it never fails to get the crowd moving like crazy. Having seen this track firsthand at a Pretty Lights show last year, it definitely has some sentimental value, but anyone who enjoys at least one of these two songs (which is everyone, right?) will love this.
Head on on over to Pretty Lights Music to grab the rest of the remix pack, or any of Pretty Light's other work (It's all free)!
Pretty Lights - Empire State of Mind (Remix) [Feat. Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G. & Alicia Keys]
I love this track, good shit. It has all the positives of a remix i like, a beat that doesn't over power the lyrics, excellent mixing, and none of the downside. Keep it up.
