You gotta love when the best music of the day lines up with the seasons, especially summertime (See, Vampire Weekend, Armin Van Buuren, Daft Punk, et al). Your daily dose of audial sunshine comes, today, with a remix from our favorite dancehall middleman, Diplo. Ok, it’s from Major Lazer, Bro Safari, & Etc!Etc! (but we all know who’s bringing it to us). For this track, the three take Konshens’ dancehall hit “Gal a Bubble” and moombah-tize it for maximal heat. Staccato guitar chords and throbbing bass over rapid fire vocals build to a crunchy synthline and dancehall beats that’ll quell any fears that Diplo’s strayed too far from “Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazers Do” (and just in time for bikini season, too). So pick up the free track below and start your poolside twerking, ladies.
And while you’re at it, the original ain’t bad either.
