Baby-faced DJ and producer, Royal-T, originally made a name for himself putting out instrumentals for grime label Butterz. But I’ve always kinda rated him for mastering two-step, especially following the slew of releases this year, including a surprisingly good reworking of Cheryl Cole’s “Call My Name”, transforming it from shit to garage-gold.
Here he bootlegs N.E.R.D’s x-rated “Lapdance” in this kind of trap versus grime, chopped and screwed interpretation, which slows down the original into a bubbling bass-clap. The final product is more UK pirate radio’s glory days, rather than, y’know, throwing Benjamins onto high-gloss titties in da club.
