Alright, so no remix of this song will ever be better than Jay’s original in my mind, but our pals, gLAdiator, from right here in Los Angeles did a pretty damn good job of switching it up — chopping the vocals and throwing in some Trappy snares and hi-hats for good measure. Download this one for free over on the boys’ Facebook.

In coming weeks, GDD™ will be joining forces with our friends around the world for collaborative editions of The Dirt. So far, we’ve teamed up with Discobelle and Stoney Roads, and this week we’ve put together a comprehensive 10-pack of tracks with our buddy Brandon over at Elektro Magazine. All 10 are available for download, so head on after the jump to see what we have in store for you this week!
When this track leaked last Friday I immediately knew a million remixes were going to be coming our way, and now that I’ve listened to the original approximately 164 times over the course of seven days I couldn’t be happier our LA brethren gLAdiator have decided to give it some proper treatment. They deliver far and away the best effort I’ve heard so far, foregoing any of the verses by heavy hitters Ye, Jay, and Big Sean, they manage to completely retool the song into both a festival and club ready anthem.
My only problem with this song? It’s only 3:29. Wouldn’t be surprised if I hear it on multiple occasions at one venue on a single night though, because if I learned anything at Electric Zoo two weeks ago it’s that Trap is the new Levels, and I’m not at all mad about it.
Nick Weiller stepped into the scene as part of the American leading drum & bass trio Evol Intent, while also keeping the comedically wonderful mashup moniker Ludachrist before evolving into the bass peddling one man army known as Bro Safari. This Friday, he rolls into town with his BROS GONE WILD tour, showcasing the moombah-loving antics of Tittsworth, LAZRtag, ETC!ETC!, Valentino Khan, and gLAdiator. Get ready, the Avalon is about to turn into a giant BASS FIESTA. Please RSVP below and arrive before doors to guarantee entry!

After arguably the biggest VS we’ve ever had last week with a special guest set from DIGITALISM, we’re back this week with a showcase of LA talent that are making some big moves in the scene. Our good friends from gLAdiator won this year’s Discovery Project from Insomniac, getting them a spot on the lineup for Electric Daisy Carnival this month. We’ll also be celebrating the EP release of Dom Corleone, a VS veteran and ultimate crowd-pleaser. Support will come from some of our favs: Bastille, Gojira, and Justin Cornwall. Let’s ride the energy from last week into a good one this Thursday!
RSVP HERE for FREE entry before 11PM.
