Texas’ Fresco and Wisconsin’s Bizzon have linked up for a DJcity exclusive remix of N.O.R.E.’s 2002 club smash “Nothin’.” In this remix, the Queens emcee’s Billboard top-10 single gets a hypnotically bouncy interpretation.

“The original track already has great energy, so we wanted to make sure that carried over with our remix,” Fresco says. “I wanted to keep it simple and bouncy, so I took a flute sample and arranged a melody that bounced with the vocals. The bassline we used also kept the momentum going and modernized this classic.”

Preview Fresco and Bizzon’s “Nothin’” remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.
