When The Notorious B.I.G. passed away in 1997, he left a legacy equal parts influential and daunting for generations of hip-hop offspring. Until now, only two Biggie songs have ever been officially remixed; the third, a remix of ‘97’s Bone Thugs-N-Harmony collab “Notorious Thugs” arrives today from Atlantic Records and legendary electronic DJ/producer Solomun.

If Solomun’s staccato house melodies and Biggie’s East Coast swagger don’t seem like natural fits on paper, it’s because few have attempted a crossover this ambitious. Prior to its recording, “Notorious Thugs” also represented a pairing few thought was possible: Bone Thugs ignored Biggie’s first invitation to contribute, and when they relented, their work took less than two hours.

But Solumun is no stranger to synthesis. Long before he conquered stages in Berlin and Indio, he was born in Bosnia to a Croatian family who subsequently moved to Hamburg, Germany. Starting out as a teenage DJ, he found his first passion in R&B and hip-hop records, where sample flips met at the cultural crossroads of slam poetry and funk.

“Music was everything to us back then,” Solomun wrote on Instagram. “It was how we discovered new sounds, new artists and a whole world beyond our own. And then came Biggie.”

Though he may have chosen the DJ life over the MC, Solomun’s reverence for old school rap shines through in “‘Notorious Thugs’” OG vocals — presented, untouched, in glorious spitfire. Now, when Bone whispers their intentions to “ride” and “get high,” a techno shimmer invites the club to join them and supplies them with 10ccs of dancefloor-grade adrenaline.

It’s an intoxicating remix for Biggie diehards and converts alike, one that’s already anchored Solomun sets in London, Munich, and Biggie’s home turf of NYC. With the DJ in one of his most prolific stretches, he recently wrapped the 12th season of his Solomun +1 residency in Ibiza, and he’s set for a prime slot at Coachella 2027.

He’ll also be spinning his Skepta and Dom Dolla collab “DANGER DANGER” during U.S. and South American tour dates this winter.
