The new Daft Punk/Jay-Z collaboration continues to garner hype around the internet, and with that hype we can expect the remix floodgates to open. First out is LA-based DJ/producer Kero One, who obviously felt the original track needed some dancefloor-style sprucing up. He adds in new drug rhythms and bassline, and toward the end he even throws in some impressive new synth lines that give the outtro a nice, jazzy feeling.
Lastly, you'll notice it's no longer Jay-Z rapping, as KeroOne replaces Jay-Z's verses with a single J.Cole verse. The verse is taken from J. Cole's awesome song with Kendrick Lamar, "Forbidden Fruit" (from his equally awesome new album, Born Sinner), and definitely has more bounce/pep than any of Jigga's verses on the original. Plus, I really think J. Cole's cadence is better suited to the new drum arrangement. All the changes certainly make the song more dancefloor friendly than the original, and it's worth a listen. So check it out below, and grab a free download while it's available!
