Since Lemonade‘s Pure Moods EP dropped earlier this year, we’ve heard our fair share of remixes for songs from that release—many of them good in their own ways, but none that stood out as the one. And then yesterday, we came across this gem on Stereogum. Chicago DJ, producer, label head, and unofficial juke/footwork spokesperson Chrissy Murderbot (pictured above) took to Lemonade’s “Remain in Jah” like DJ Rashad to an R&B hook, splicing the steel drums, new age synth pads, and airy vocal melodies into the flitting hi-hats, breakneck kick patterns, and smashing claps that make up his juke rhythms. All in all, it could very well be the best reworking of a Lemonade jam out there, but is certainly a wonderfully unconventional application of juke’s hyperactive beats. You can check out Lemonade’s upcoming tour dates after the jump.
