Ratking's Sporting Life Shares Atmospheric Remix of Frank Ocean's "Florida"

Since their late August release, Frank Ocean's Endless/Blond(e) audiovisual bomb has inspired spectrum-spanning recalibrations. Kweku Saunderson gave it a touch of house with Brunett(e)Slim K (of OG Ron C's Chopstars) gave it the chopped-never-slopped treatment Purpl(e) and Toronto's dvsn doubled down on the gospel with his take on "Godspeed."

Today another notch on the belt arrives by way of Ratking producer, Sporting Lifewith an atmospheric flip of the Endless cut, "Florida." Frank's wails get stretched over hi-hat rattles and abyssal kicks, fading into a glitchy, chipmunk-ed outro. But there's more. Along with the remix, Sporting Life's released a new single with UK rapper, Novelistwho's certainly worth a dedicated ear as one of London's up-and-coming grime stars. Both songs follow last year's stellar four-track project, SLAM DUNK VOL. 3, featuring Dev Hynes and Wiki on the single "Nothing To Hide."

Hear Sporting Life's "Florida State" remix and the new Novelist collaboration down below. Jump back to pick up a copy of SLAM DUNK VOL. 3 on iTunes today. Stay tuned for the next transmission in the weeks and months ahead.
