Listen to Tonga Approved Duo LUX€ BOYZ Give Afrobeats Star Mista Silva an Upfront Re-Fix

"Lifestyle" is the record that's gonna stop us eating crisps in our pants all day, we swear.

A question: have you ever seen a better press shot than the one above? Have you ever—ever—seen a more appealing image of an artist in your entire life? The answer's no, no you haven't. Because no such photo exists. That photo right there of Afrobeats superstar Mista Silva is as good as it gets.

But, and here's a hefty but, if there was a second place contender, it'd probably be this stunning snapshot of Tonga approved duo LUX€ BOYZ. Let's all take a second out of our busy lives to study Mike Skinner's favourite pair.

There's a reason why we're all sat about admiring these photos rather than doing any actual proper work, by the way. And it's a great reason: you, yes you, can listen to a brand new remix of Mista Silva's "Lifestyle" by the LUX€ BOYZ right here on THUMP!

They've teamed up to place a trademark dark, 2-step bassline over Afrobeats legend Mista Silva's immediately distinguishable baritone, creating a bouncy, murky and strangely nostalgic edit. The result is an upfront anthem that's got us wishing our current lifestyle (which largely consists of Only Connect and gorging on fish fingers) was a tad more glamorous.

Until that magic moment, we've got this absolute stormer at least, and we're delighted to be sharing it with you ahead of the release on Mike Skinner Ltd tomorrow.

Lifestyle is out on Friday the 4th of November on Mike Skinner Ltd.
