Sampa The Great surprised many with one of the most solid full-length hop-hop releases of the year – Australian or otherwise – with The Great Mixtape last month. Now one of the tape's many standouts now has a cloudy rework from Melbourne producer-DJ Prequel.Stripping the original production back to a percussive core, Prequel frees space for the Sydney-based MC's vocals in a dreamy wash. It's a mellow and intoxicating mood, never exploding into house territory while enticing with a distant groove.Stream Prequel's remix of "Beatrice" below, and download The Great Mixtape for free via Wondercore Island.
