Radiohead x Kanye West – Testify (Xaphoon Jones Remix) (PMA Premiere)

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

Last week, I premiered a new cut from Xaphoon Jones’ upcoming mixtape, available tomorrow exclusively through PMA. Xaphoon does all the production and sampling on PMA favorites Chiddy Bang and he’s branching out and breaking down into infectious bouts of bmore club on his upcoming, Mixtape Vol. 1. His mixtape also touches on Motown hits, old school rap, and new school blog hits.

On this newest sneak peak, two of the loudest voices of our generation are pinned head to head, Jaydiohead style. However, Xaphoon’s added drum loops and synths sound a lot better and Minty Fresh Beats’ ever did. Listen to “Reckoner” and “Touch The Sky” blend together effortlessly in “Testify.”

Xaphoon seems to be a fan of “Reckoner” (who isn’t?) because this is the second time he sampled the song. Earlier this year, we posted Chiddy Bang’s Radiohead-sampling “Because.” Grab it here, if you missed it the first time around.

I liked the Xaphoon remixes, but I have to say that Minty Fresh still presides over the funkybeats in my opinion; hence the name.
