Flume Remixes The Heck Out Of “My Boo” For Like A Version

flume-like-a-version

Australia’s current Lord of the Dance, Flume has once again dropped a booming, jagged, and groovy AF tune that’s primed and ready for your next d-floor. For this week’s triple j Like A Version, the Sydney ARIA-winning producer flipped the classic 1995 RnB anthem My Boo by Ghost Town DJ’s on its head, swapping out the original’s smooth vibes for a very ‘Skin’ remix.

Opening with a heavily manipulated version of the song’s melody (think an air-horn underwater), Flume’s cover quickly drops into a glitchy soup of thick synthesisers and metallic percussion. The harmonies by guest vocalists Vera Blue, Ngaiire, and Kučka are beautiful and an effective contrast to the deep production, and Vince Staples nails the short ‘n sweet rap verse.

The cover is exactly what you’d expect from the prince of heavy-hitting house and electronica. There’s nothing that makes you go explicitly go “Woah, that’s cool!”, but at the same you’ll find yourself dancing well before the you start singing the first melody, “At night I think of you”.

Check out the Like A Version and remain dates of Flume’s almost sold-out national tour below!
