LANA DEL REY FT JSTJR - "BLACK BEAUTY" (REX RIOT AND OUROS REMIX) (ELECTRO, USA)

Over the last year or so we have been privy to a wealth of Lana Del Rey remixes; her brooding vocalisations coupled with a clean musical background provide a fantastic opportunity for producers to mutate what are typically blackened pop noire numbers into electronic monsters.

Fortunately for us, three producers (Rex Riot, Ouros, JSTJR) have come together on "Black Beauty", a track lifted from Del Rey's sophomore album "Ultraviolence". Despondent bass whomps that oscillate between a steady metallic beat generate robust foundations for this electro-dub manifestation; feeling almost chaptered in places, Del Rey's smouldering vocals and haunting pitch unsettle the digital background creating a wonderfully efficient duality of human intervention and soundboard agitation. Sombre in places, determined in others, this joint venture certainly comes across as one of the best remixes of Lana Dely Rey's workings to date with a Justice-esque approach and raw electro movement.
