XXYYXX drops off a remix of Beyonce‘s ’05 hit “Check On It“, and although the quickly-crafted track is rather short and snappy, it’s bound to stay in your head.
The Florida-production made this whilst on a plane, and it
seems to benefit from two things: firstly, the enforced simplicity of
long distance transport, and secondly, XXYYXX’s experience at building a
track around Bey’s majestic voice (he previously used one of her songs
for his trippy masterpiece “About You”). If the original was a
relentless teaser for a playful romp, this is one sassy little stomp.
XXYYXX uses rattlesnake rhythms and heavy bass to build a compressed,
stuttering track from the most basic of vocal edits, and although Slim
Thug’s feature is lost, the result retains all of the old track’s
kinetic energies.
Take a listen for yourself, and take a ride back to the mid 90's
that beat is hot!!
