I have to admit that I didn’t see this coming, a Mike Skinner remix of Benjamin Francis Leftwich‘s album cut Atlas Hands. Apparently Mike Skinner is a big fan of the talented singer and was more than happy to lend himself to the cause before he bows out of music for good.

I’m still not sure when Mike is retiring from music, or even if he still is? Maybe he is just laying The Streets‘ moniker to rest so he can concentrate more on projects like this? He only released two singles from Computers & Blues so it seems like a weird way to leave things.

By the way if you haven’t copped Benjamin’s new album Last Smoke Before the Snowstorm then what are you waiting for? It’s out now.
