Just about a year ago, the hip-hop veteran producer Just Blaze unveiled a house revamp of his 2009 collaboration with Jay Electronica, “Exhibit C.” Dubbed “Behold! (Exhibit J),” this curveball was quite different from what most Just Blaze fans typically expect. As a pleasant surprise, it ignited speculation for the hip-hop legend’s anticipated involvement in today’s exploding EDM bubble. Recently displaying an obvious liking toward festival trap, Just Blaze is back, this time with NYC duo Mysto & Pizzi for a New Year’s treat. “1UP!” builds on the nostalgia of the Mario Bros’ 1986 theme song while meshing a selection of the videogame’s soundbites to a heavy 808 drumkit. The melody is transformed into a spacey, big room composition for a powerfully harmonic bridge between main beats. This collab is available for free download to start your New Year the right way – on mushrooms.
