The Gorillaz‘s released “Strobelite” — the club-ready dance track featuring Peven Everett from their Humanz album — as a single last week along with a video. It’s easily one of the better and more repeatable efforts on the album, and of all the songs I’d want to hear when the world inevitably ends in the next three and a half years, “Strobelite” and its predecessor, “Ascension” with Vince Staples, is one of them.

Anyway, way back when didn’t even know Gorillaz were officially releasing another album, Kaytranada revealed he had worked with the virtual band. He smoothly transforms the song into a cinematic experience, using floating synthesizers and the choral arrangements on the tune as the remix’s backbone.
