Headie One, the rapper who rose to fame with his distinct take on UK drill, releases his new project, Music X Road, on Aug. 23, which sees him battle himself between the two while creating new bangers for your playlist. The latest single from the set, "Back To Basics" with Skepta, has gone down a treat underground—further solidifying both North Londoners as two of the UK's best right now.
Today, we're being blessed with a UKG remix of the NYGE-produced track, courtesy of electronic maestro Floating Points: here, Headie and Skepta's choppy flows are placed over a bed of warped, bouncy 2-step, allowing their cruddy content to see a new lease of life. "I love all of Headie's work," Floating Points told Complex. "The second I heard this track, I just knew I wanted to flip it."
