Tetris Kelly:
What happens when you pair superstar DJs with a hip-hop classic? A refreshing remix just in time for the summer season! Loud Luxury has been on the road this summer with a number of shows, but the Canadian DJ duo has also found time to work on new music. Andrew and Joe have teamed up with Billboard and Starbucks for an exclusive remix of Ini Kamoze’s 1994 hit, “Here Comes the Hotsteppper,” in honor of the hit’s 30th anniversary. During our interview with the duo, they admitted that the energetic sing-along chorus is their favorite part of the classic. Joe told us, “They brought up the idea in the ice shake and the ‘Ahh’ came naturally,” as they wanted to make this a summer song that fans could vibe to. “It’s such an iconic voice that it was something we could take and reimagine in our own world. Once you hear that main chorus, everyone knows.” For more information on Loud Luxury's remix of “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” visit billboard.com
