filous' remix of Cimo Fränkel's 'Never Give Up', breathes new life into an already vibrant piece of work. Opening with sincere, heartfelt guitar melodies, before Cimo's crisp, signature vocals kicks in leading clicked percussion and a steady beat along a path of integrity. The earnest atmosphere of 'Never Give Up' is now somewhat animated through sweeps and swells before coming to a soothing, melodious halt.

Everything you do as a producer instantly sounds a million times better when his vocals are on it, so it's easy to feel comfortable really quick - but I tried to give my best nonetheless and had a lot of fun trying to challenge myself to make something that can live up to his insane vocal level!", says filous about his remix.
