Afrika Bambaataa‘s 1982 masterpiece “Planet Rock” forever changed the emerging Hip Hop landscape at that time. With its samples from German electronic outfit Kraftwerk, it blew the minds of nearly everyone who heard it.

As Apple Music prepares to release its new documentary revolving around the Roland TR-808 drum machine, 808, the film’s narrator and Beats 1 Radio host Zane Lowe has debuted Kaytranada‘s remix of the certified classic on his show.

808 arrives on Friday (December 9) and features tastemakers like Questlove, Pharrell, Afrika Bambaataa, and Rick Rubin (Egyptian Lover better be in it, too). Listen to the remix above, and check out the documentary trailer and the original below.
