Childish Gambino - This Is America (omniboi Remix)

Coming just over a week after it was named both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys, Childish Gambino's viral and critical success "This Is America" has once again received the remix treatment, this time from the awe-inspiring omniboi. Omni Rutledge is no stranger to taking on the hottest of hot hits, as he previously scored an indelibly divine remix in his jazzy flip of Migos "Bad And Boujee." More recently, the multi-talented musician rebuilt Charli XCX's "Focus" as a slice of chill lounge luxury, highlighting his brilliance with a video of his rebuild here.

Once again taking to Twitter to share his work, omniboi gave us our first glimpse at "This Is America" as an early Valentine's Day present, whetting our appetites here. Now in its full glory, the lush soundscape of the Soundcloud stream below is a head-spinning stunner. No, you know what, it's even better than that. It's an experience. The kind of track whose power can get you out of a rut, realign your perspective or renew your priorities. Like the original, it is gospel genius combined with brilliantly contrasting components. At this point, we can only hope to capture this uber cool creation with a download or purchase link, and I'll update if/when one becomes available. But for now enjoy the stream below.FOLLOW OMNIBOI: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Slow Magic ft. Tropics - Light (Omniboi Remix)

Los Angeles' Omniboi continues to carve out a unique position for himself with a masterful mix of jazz influenced, future bass. You've probably heard his "Bad And Boujee" remix and I seem to remember sharing "Twinkle Bang Bang" on this blog, but it's one of his more recent releases that has caught my attention today. His remix of Slow Magic's "Light" is ludicrously laudable. While it opens inauspiciously, the groove takes little time to take over. The strings sweep you off your feet as the percussion pulverizes you in the most magnificent way possible. As always seems to be the case, Omniboi conjures up some sublime strides with brilliant bells, that pair perfectly with all the other instruments. Even the way the vocals are used illustrates Omniboi's divine plan for each and every element, there's a right place and power for each sound and sample. It's bright, bold and beautiful from beginning to end with precious piano, stunning strings and vaporous vocals. Bask in the "Light" and download here.FOLLOW OMNIBOI: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
