Viral Austrian-born, Berlin-residing DJ and producer Ely Oaks is starting October out strong with a beast of a new release.
With a reputation for fusing viral-inspired creativity and heavyweight festival-ready production, Oaks has dropped his official remix of James Hype’s “Waterfalls,” which includes Sam Harper and Bobby Harvey. The release will drop on October 3, ahead of Oaks’ US and European tour stops.
Ely Oaks initially broke through onto the international scene with his record-breaking single “Running Around,” which has reached more than 100 million streams on Spotify and further established him as dance music’s fastest-emerging star. With this latest endeavor, he further solidifies his versatility, repurposing James Hype’s progressive, vocal-based original into an energetic, club-conquering anthem.
What starts off as a euphoric melodic record ends up being a tough, festival-pounding gun in the hands of Oaks’ production. With the addition of driving, almost-hardstyle rhythms and club dynamism, he reimagines “Waterfalls” as a song meant for gigantic festival decks and crowded nightclubs.
Discussing the undertaking, Ely Oaks expressed his enthusiasm:
“I already had this record playing a lot on my TikTok, so I was 110% energized when the request did come in to do my version of it. Totally in love with this vocal and a huge privilege to have an official remix out for legend James Hype.”
This remix is hot on the heels of his breakout hit and showcases Oaks’ skill at transitioning between viral pop-influenced tracks and sizeable room electronic productions. Through a combination of his creative vision and club-intensity specific emphasis, Ely Oaks is making a name for himself as one of the most promising new names in electronic music.
While his “Waterfalls” remix drops, Oaks is gearing up to bring his explosive live show on the road with touring US and European dates scheduled soon, solidifying himself as an international dance force. The sets will include a blend of his breakout viral tracks, high-energy originals, and top-tier remixes like “Waterfalls” that top the bill.
With this drop, Ely Oaks extends his connection between digital virality and dancefloor supremacy, showing his momentum is only just gaining momentum.
