We all know and love Star Slinger for his chopped up soul samples and thick-layered beats, but for this new remix here done for the song “New Beat” by Toro Y Moi, the UK producer decided to go a totally different route. “I didn’t wanna make a typical soulbeat when i was asked to do this, so made a riddim instead,” said the Manchester native of the remix. Can’t say we’re mad at the outcome, although a J-Dilla-esqe beat would have been pretty great. Download the track now below.

Toro Y Moi -New Beat (Star Slinger Dancehall Mix)

It’s not often that we would post the refix of a “shuffle,” but when The Heatwave‘s refix of Jamie xx’s shuffle of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” appeared on YouTube earlier this morning we knew that we had heard something special. The Heatwave are a collective out of London with a weekly Rinse FM show who specialize in making bashment (dancehall) music and mixes. Featuring vocals from Cecile, Mr Lexx and Timberlee this refix takes no holds bar in their mission to, “show how dancehall is the root of jungle, garage, grime, dubstep and funky.”
