Yung Skrrt- McDonalds (Barclay Crenshaw, Eprom Remix)
Barclay Crenshaw and Eprom have released official remixes of Yung Skrrt’s ‘McDonalds’, out now via Dirtybird Records.
After discovering the fast food themed hip-hop track on Bandcamp, Barclay Crenshaw and Eprom each crafted remixes befitting their DJ sets. Wrapping the Yung Skrrt original in wobbling basslines and gritty synths, Barclay Crenshaw brings ‘McDonalds’ to the dark side with his remix. Twisting with layers of distortion, Barclay Crenshaw’s remix is a heavy companion to the acidic remix delivered by Eprom. Vibrating with offbeat percussion and wonky, experimental tones, Eprom transforms ‘McDonalds’ into a glitchy underground deep cut. Together, Barclay Crenshaw and Eprom’s spirited new interpretations celebrate the outlandish, oddball lyricism that is ‘McDonalds’.
