When I woke up this morning I was stoked to see that one of the greatest purveyors of trap music, BENZI, had uploaded 5 studio-quality remixes from Girl Trapz 4 available as free downloads (I’m all about that free freshy-new-new, ya dig?).

And then I started reading the description:

In preparation for the fifth and final volume of the Girl Trapz series being released…

My reaction was something like this:

That’s right folks, fifth and final volume. Maybe I’m just out of the loop but this was news to me. In retrospect, I guess I never really considered that Girl Trapz would end. Somewhere deep in my heart, I just sort of expected Girl Trapz to be there with me to the end; you never truly appreciate the fragile beauty of life until it’s run its course. I love you Girl Trapz. I’ll miss you.

Quite appropriately, the finále will premier on BBC Radio 1 during the Diplo and Friends broadcast on 2/15/2014. Until then, I’ll be sobbing and slow-dancing alone in my room to this Remix EP.

In preparation for the fifth and final volume of the Girl Trapz series being released in February, Benzi has unleashed “The Remix EP” to Girl Trapz 4. This EP contains five songs in total and all in their full length unmixed glory.

First up is the DJ Sliink-supported Playground Mob remix of Justin Timberlake’s “My Love”, followed by the Girl Trapz 4 theme song and lead track “Girls Girls Girls” from Amsterdam’s future bass king FS Green. Benzi & J.Espinosa flip Ta-Ku’s re-imaging of A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electronic Relaxation” into a jersey club anthem complete with vocals from Q-Tip, while Dru Hil”s “Tell Me” gets a sexy tarp rework from Japan’s own YGSP. And as an added bonus, the EP includes the brand new remix of John Newman’s “Love Me Again” by newcomers ARME, who channel their innermost Cashmere Cat and deliver a classic!

Grab the full EP now and look for Benzi’s “GIRL TRAPZ | Volume Five (The Finale)” premiering on BBC Radio 1 on Diplo & Friends on 2/15/14 and just in time for your Valentine’s Day weekend!
