New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Global icon
David Guetta keeps the good times coming with a massive new Seth Hills remix of 'When We Were Young', his hit single featuring GRAMMY-winning pop star Kim Petras.
'When We Were Young' is fast becoming another huge hit for the French mastermind, with 80 million global streams and over 100K TikTok creations. The track is currently charting across 13 different markets on Spotify, breaking into the Top 40 in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Luxembourg, as well as charting across 5 markets on Apple
Music and 7 markets on Deezer.
Rising DJ star Seth Hills turns up the heat on Guetta and Petras' already-sizzling hot original, spotlighting the iconic pitched-up lead vocal before sending the track into the stratosphere with huge snare builds and spectacular synth-fuelled drops.
Hailing from the Netherlands, 24 year old Seth Hills' passion has manifested into something far greater than a hobby. Trying his hand at DJing and producing at the age of 15, within a short amount of time it became apparent Sergio's desire to translate his creative ideas into sound was one of his most significant goals.
Years down the track, and it's mission accomplished for the young star.
Massive numbers such as 'Raise Your Hands', 'Get 'M', 'Riot', and 'Centipede' shook the House
Music industry with their catchy and enticing sound, as well as undeniable flair, but it was his major hit 'Fire' that was undoubtedly one of his biggest exploits to date, racking up three million streams within just six months. This young gun has also gained an abundance of deserved support from industry heavyweights, such as
Martin Garrix,
Axwell & Ingrosso, Tiesto, Alesso, Nicky Romero,
Afrojack and Hardwell, as well as releases on major labels like Revealed Recordings, Axtone and his newly-signed label STMPD RCRDS.
The new remix adds to breakthrough German producer BENNETT's hard-hitting version, as well as an industrial, party-rousing remix from the Grammy-nominated, globally renowned DJ
Steve Aoki and Swedish producer KAAZE. A futuristic banger that thematically looks to the past, the original 'When We Were Young' is a high BPM stormer crafted around a pitched-up interpolation of Supertramp's classic 'The Logical Song', with Kim Petras providing nostalgic verses about the innocence of youth.
