British Electronic Producer Skylab 3’s Official Remix of Cannibal Ox & MF Doom’s “Iron Rose”

British electronic producer Skylab 3 continues to impress with his official remix for the viral hit “Iron Rose” by Cannibal Ox featuring MF Doom. Staying in-tune with the original, Skylab graces the track with pounding percussions, while adding a unique touch of airy synths and strings to mix.

At the close of 2013, Skylab 3 released a 3 track sampler to give the world a taste of his music.  Among the tracks on the sampler was “Shine,” which went on to be featured in the 2014 cult film Kid Cannabis.  The song was also included on the film’s soundtrack, released later that year.  Over the past year, Skylab has been busy working on his debut album, A View From Above, which will be released later this year.
