Solomun is putting his own spin on a hip-hop classic.
The house music super-producer/DJ has just dropped an official remix of The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s 1997 track, “Notorious Thugs”. Official reworks of Biggie’s catalogue are few and far between, making this a particularly notable release.
It also marks a return to Solomun’s musical roots. Before becoming one of the biggest names in house music, he was was spinning hip-hop and R&B records, influences that come full circle on his latest drop. On “Notorious Thugs”, instead of completely reinventing the original, Solomun lets its iconic vocals shine, layering in melodic house elements and a driving groove that bring the track into club territory without losing its identity.
The remix has already been road-tested throughout 2026, appearing in his sets at London’s Alexandra Palace, Munich’s Königsplatz, Paris’ Hippodrome de Vincennes and across New York City, where it has become a standout moment on the dancefloor. It also adds to an increasingly stacked run of releases: this year has seen Solomun link up with Skrillex on “Rumpta”, Inéz on “Raider On The Storm”, and Dom Dolla and Skepta on October’s “DANGER DANGER”.
Fresh off another successful Solomun +1 season at Pacha Ibiza, the producer continues to move between genres, bringing one of hip-hop’s most recognisable songs into his own musical world.
