Lettuce is a funk superband from the early 90’s. GRiZ is a funk superDJ from right now. Needless to say, a match made in heaven. When it comes to remixes, not many DJs are able to tackle songs that aren’t EDM-based– GRiZ is not most DJs.
The original GRiZ remix features big-sounding horn-filled verses, sprinkled with bouncy bass licks, accentuated by a one-two-three-four count off in the beginning. GRiZ keeps all of these elements (even the count off, tastefully, of course) in the song, while liberally adding his own signature flair. The result is a hard-hitting funk jam that stays true to the original, while building itself into a fresh, legendary track.
Being a saxophone man himself, Grant Kwiecinski (GRiZ) injected some of his own magic into the song with a perfectly placed solo in the latter half of the song.

Combine that with the sassy vocals of guest Jessica Breanne, and you’ve got an insta-classic birthed from the ashes of one of the best funk bands of all time.
