Brooklyn-based beat maker Kashaka gives us a bit of a history lesson on Drake and Wizkid's “One Dance" in this brand new remix primed for summer rooftops.

Kashaka takes those UK funky joints as a base for his lively infusion of syncopated percussion, keys, marimbas and a deep, rumbling bass—with Wizkid's "Once Dance" verse coming in at the end.

This isn't the first time the beat maker's cooked up a hodge-podge of tracks into one booming remix, as he previously mashed-up Yasiin Bey and Da Bush Babees with a Ghanaian groove.
