When one of LA’s hottest producers picks up tracks by hip-hop’s reigning prince and indie’s love-torn darlings, only good things will come of it. Here Nosaj Thing remixes Drake’s “Forever” and The xx’s “Islands,” which, in a few words, sound like he sprinkled stardust on the tracks and this “Islands” remix is infinitely better than the original. To catch Nosaj Thing live, see dates after the jump.
