KYGO DROPS REMIX OF DAFT PUNK AND THE WEEKND’S ‘STARBOY’

It’s Kygo’s second rework of the Canadian’s material...

Kygo has dropped a remix of Daft Punk and The Weeknd’s collaboration, ‘Starboy, the track from the latter’s forthcoming album of the same name. You can listen to the rework below.

Speaking about the track on his SoundCloud page, Kygo said, “Got the chance to remix this incredible track. Hope you guys like it.”

This is the second time Kygo has reworked The Weeknd’s material, after turning in a remix of ‘Often’ last year from his 2015 album, ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’.

The Weeknd, real name Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye, originally teased that he was in the studio with Daft Punk in August, before ‘Starboy’ dropped in September.

The video for the track landed shortly after, before Tesfaye revealed that a second Daft Punk collaboration is on its way when his new album is released on Friday 25th November.
