When the Glitch Mob released their debut album Drink The Sea earlier this year, it took many by surprise with its sophisticated, atmospheric textures and (gasp!) frequent appearances of real instruments. But a huge part of the sound from these dons of the West Coast’s current electronic-music renaissance is a deep boom bap—but of course, utterly thrashed and twisted into a new shape.

Indeed, the Glitch Mob’s innovative head-nod side has come back with a vengeance in their new mixtape, a genius companion piece that redefines Drink The Sea’s moodscapes brilliantly.  It does so by pairing the album’s instrumentals and beats with a cappella vocals and grooves from the likes of Lil Wayne, M.I.A., Nas, Jay-Z, Daft Punk, Dr. Dre, Mobb Deep, Freddie Gibbs, Young Jeezy, Busta Rhymes and more. It’s like Drink The Sea has entered a new dimension—as if the radio actually had something decent and adventurous to listen to. One of the highlights is Glitch Mob’s take on La Roux’s smash “In For The Kill.” “In For The Kill” has proven a resilient remix foil—dubstep king Skream had an absolute smash with his tweaked, low-end friendly version —and in the Mob’s hands it really swings anew, La Roux’s melodic hooks clashing excellently with their sonic swerves. This is real future funk, the sound of tomorrow today, all with a beat you can move to. Download everything here, and thank me in the morning…
