Beastie Boys' Mike D Remixes Portugal. The Man's Modern Jesus - Listen Here
Thursday, 31 October 2013 Written by Huw Baines

Beastie Boys' Mike D has remixed Modern Jesus, a track lifted from Portugal. The Man's latest record, 'Evil Friends'.

The artists are mutual admirers of each other's work, and Mike D was more than happy to add a little extra weight to Modern Jesus' low end and beats.

"I was talking to a friend who happened to work at the band's label about stuff I was listening to," he said. "I mean, we do this often, and I mention the 'Evil Friends' album. He hit me back right away asking if I would do a mix, so it was no doubt. I knew I wanted to do the song and push it, make it bump more, trap that shit out.”

John Gourley of Portugal. The Man added: “Mike D, he gets respect. The Beasties introduced us to the world that existed outside of Alaska, and we lived by it. We have referenced Beastie Boys on every album we have made. The dude is a Beatle, in our book, and to get to work with a guy like Mike D is and always has been at the top of our list since we were kids.”
