While the original track had that electro house vibe, this latest release has taken a more chilled tone with a deep house melody.

Dutch House DJ Fedde Le Grand needs no introduction, ever since his hit track "Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit" went viral in 2006, he's been one of those DJ's that were always on the scene and one to look out for at any major festivals.

Ultra really has been the one music festival that set standards for every other one around the globe and since grown and now finds itself being taken around the world in various countries. 

Coming back to the Miami event, the line up was endless and the stages were insane to say the least. You practically had the top 100 DJ's in the world all in one place over one weekend, playing their hottest and latest tracks to crowds of thousands. The lighting and pyrotechnics display that go into the event is next level crazy, even though it is already one of the most highly rated music events in the world, the organizers still go out of their way to make every year bigger and better.

Tomorrowland, possibly the worlds biggest party took place in Belgium this weekend. The world's best were present to entertain the crowd which was in excess of 180,000 people. The likes of Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Carl Cox, Fedde le Grand to mention a few and not forgetting the resident DJ's Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike whom are featured this week with their anthem for Tomorrowland as this weeks choon. I managed to catch a few sets from the live broadcast on youtube, the scenes looked insane apart from the torrential down pour on Saturday night. It looked like another epic year in the outskirts of Antwerp and yet again left millions who couldn't attend with a severe case of FOMO.
