Why do we like this?

When Eric Clapton released "Cocaine" in 1977, it quickly became one of his biggest hits. But what most don't know (I certainly didn't), is that the song is actually a cover of a track written and recorded one year earlier by JJ Cale. It wasn't the only song of JJ Cale's to be tackled by Clapton, either: the list includes "After Midnight" and "Travelin' Light."

At this point, though, it doesn't really matter. Not within the context of this remix, at least. Montreal-based DJs Maxwell Miller and Benny M. (otherwise known as No Big Deal), have completely reworked the feel of this song, turning it into an electronic dancefloor banger.
