MUMBAI: Just when you thought Ofenbach’s feel-good smash ‘Head Shoulders Knees & Toes’ couldn’t get any bigger, along comes a superlative remix from the mighty Robin Schulz. The German DJ/producer has multiple hits under his name, such as his latest release “All We Got” featuring KIDDO.
Schulz transforms the dark-edged house of the original version into something triumphant and joyous, giving the vocal a whole new lease of life. He colours the intro with an orchestral string section, and gives a nod to the original with his bassline. The strings return to lift the chorus higher, injecting a little disco energy into the proceedings. Big piano chords add feeling to the breakdown, and sizzling hi-hats give a sense of urgency. It’s one to get those fists pumping, and just the sort of high-energy goodness the world can do with right now.
The original just proved a huge hit across the world with over 170 million streams, and Top 10 positions in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands. It peaked at #11 in the European Airplay charts, #2 in the French Airplay chart, #27 in the Global Shazam Chart, and even #6 in the Shazam Chart in France. Featuring on many big Spotify in-house playlists like ‘Today’s Top Hits’ and ‘Pop Rising’, it peaked at #111 on the Global Spotify Chart, and achieved Gold and Platinum sales & streams certification in France, Austria and Poland.
Meanwhile, Ofenbach also delivered a remix for Schulz’s massive ‘All We Got’, which has already surpassed 1 million plays on Spotify. When these hitmakers collide, you know the results are going to be truly explosive.
