Gold Fields' "Dark Again" already grooves with New Wave synth, a solar guitar riff and flashy disco sheen, now a new remix by Grouplove and Captain Cuts shifts the song into a new gear on the dance floor. Chopped vocal samples create a new hook in place of guitar, flittering through bouncy bass and sun-drenched vocals. The re-imagining took Gold Fields by surprise.

"We didn't expect [Grouplove and Captain Cuts] to take it to the place they did," Gold Fields' Vin Andanar tells Rolling Stone. "That's the great thing about remixes, taking something that's not yours and making it your own." The original version of "Dark Again" is on Gold Fields forthcoming debut, Black Sun, out February 26th. Gold Fields is on tour in North America through March 2nd.

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
