Dutch producer LAVERN is back with a remix that could power a blender! This time he’s taken on one of Axwell / Ingrosso’s most beloved tracks, “Sun Is Shining”, and trust me, he’s cranked up the energy levels!
About the Chart-Topper
Hard to believe, but the classic hit “Sun Is Shining” from 2015 is now practically collecting retirement benefits. Since its recording started in 2014, it’s practically got a decade under its belt! Back then, the iconic duo Axwell / Ingrosso took quite a leap of faith; fans were eager for more house grooves, but nope, they hit us with this sun-soaked gem instead. No surprises here, this track skyrocketed to the top of charts in 2015, spinning on radio stations so often you’d think they were throwing a non-stop dance party. Since then, big shots like R3HAB have jumped in to add their own flavor, and now LAVERN is here to throw another piñata of sound into the mix!
“Sometimes it takes a new remix to remind everyone that the sun shines brighter after the rain!”
LAVERN’s Successes
Dutch sensation Laurens Elshof, a.k.a. LAVERN, may have just launched his project in 2021, but he’s already racing towards success! His opening track, “Move Me”, racked up a staggering 35 million streams like it was candy at a festival. Just recently, his collaboration “Like Sunshine” with Sigala, released on September 13, 2024, has already hit half a million views in just 5 days! It’s like if the sun itself decided to retweet his success!
- Highlight 1: LAVERN isn’t just hopping on the success train; he’s driving the whole locomotive!
- Highlight 2: His tracks are like direct rays of sunshine on streaming platforms.
- Highlight 3: Who knows, next stop: the moon!
The Remix
LAVERN took a bold dive into creativity for his cover of “Sun Is Shining”. Officially dropped by Universal Music Catalogue (UMC) on September 27, 2024, this remix comes as a 4-track EP extravaganza with a radio edit, an extended mix, an instrumental, and an extended instrumental—like a buffet you can’t resist! The melody is super energetic, ramping up from the original 95 BPM to a wild 127 BPM in the extended versions. It’s like going from a brisk walk to an all-out dance marathon!
“With this one, even the walls at Tomorrowland would throw off their inhibitions!”
To top it all off, he debuted this remix at Tomorrowland 2024, a performance he casually announced on Instagram back in June. It must have been a sun-soaked vibe that left festival-goers feeling like they’d just caught a real ray of sunshine!
