Justin Timberlake - SexyBack (Scissors Remix)

I cannot count the number of JT remixes I've come across since the game changing FutureSex / LoveSounds, but none have snuck up on me the way this Scissors mix has. The little vocal samples and growing bass line in the intro are awesome, but don't necessarily hit you over the head as JT. However once you realize they are from "SexyBack," it becomes overwhelmingly obvious and is just the first example of Scissors' success in reworking the 2006 banger into a brilliant 2018 bootleg. Obviously well designed the original oomph stays strong alongside the uber catchy nostalgic vocals, but the best bits come in the Brazilian bass inspired drop, as those salacious vocal samples pair perfectly with the potent punch of the bass. The best example though comes very specifically  through the almost angelic, heavenly "aah" that immediately gets slapped down by the brooding bass. Not just a thrown together, bass boosted bootleg, this is a well crafted club killer. Get it free via Hypeddit here.
