Pete Rock Brings The Boom Bap To Panda Bear's "Crosswords" On A Potent New Remix

Pete Rock Brings Boom Bap To Panda Bear's "Crosswords" On A Proper Remix

Pete Rock, long heralded as king of the remix, has lent his is distinctive touch of boom-bap brilliance to countless cuts, both conventional and otherwise. Here's a taste of what he can do with the latter, bringing his patented, vintage drum-breaking styles to Panda Bear's dreamy, psych-pop wizardry, resulting in a fairly potent blend that should have your head knocking in all of the appropriate ways. The track comes to us from Panda Bear's forthcoming PBVSGR remix EP out on June 30th via Domino Records, but you can get a taste by streaming it down below. You can also catch Panda Bear on the road in July, the dates for which are listed just under the player. And if you're in the NYC area tonight, check out the mighty Pete Rock at Radio City Music Hall reuniting with CL Smooth for what will surely be a historic moment for the Golden Era heroes. Grab a copy of his freshly released Petestrumentals sequel on iTunes today.
