Drake - Take Care (DJ Cable Edit)

The ever impressive DJ Cable comes through with a spinna friendly edit of Drake's latest single, Take Care, which features Rihanna and samples Gil-Scott Heron/Jamie XX.

"As you know, the ladies love that “Take Care” joint, but in all honesty it’s a bit too mellow; especially when it comes to dropping it in the middle of a set.

I’ve basically added some 808s and the Think break, sped up the tempo a little bit, and given the arrangement a quick shuffle. The tune ends on a loop of the Gil Scott-Heron sample.

The end result is a slightly beefed up version, with a DJ friendly intro."

My favourite track from the upcoming remix album by Jamie XX, which sees him take the original sessions from Gil-Scott Heron’s latest album and put his own electronic twist on each and every track. A nice idea, executed well.
