Danger! Major Lazer x Santigold x Beastie Boys “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” Refix

Words by Eddie STATS Houghton

Hold the line! (and ring the Dr. Sample wav-file alarm effect). The gradual leakage of tunes from the forthcoming Major Lazer sequel now includes this ML refix of our favorite Beastie Boys dub excursion, featuring Santigold. Dip & Switch play it pretty straight with a crunchy poco/reggaeton beat that compliments the haunting afrojazz horns instead of distracting from it–transforming it into a formidable dancefloor weapon.
