Idris Elba is a man of many talents. Between being an award-winning actor — starring in American Gangster, Thor, Prometheus, Pacific Rim, Beasts of No Nation, Star Trek: Beyond and more — and an all around extremely dapper gentleman, he’s also ever-rising as a taste making DJ.

Now, the vastly prolific Elba has stepped in to remix the legendary drum and bass and jungle producer Shy FX‘s new single “Chocolate.”

Utilizing his Driis alter ego for the project, Elba delves into two totally different directions for the remixes. In turn, he serves up two deeply different, dance-inducing numbers. The “Driis 7 Wallace Mix” is a pulsating piano chord laden deep house slow burner, while the “Driis Sugar Zaddy Mix” is a capacious dollop of bass-laden chocolaty goodness.
