When Tiësto calls for a remix, the dance music world answers.
Berlin-based DJ and producer Macon has stepped up to the challenge, delivering a high-energy remix of Tiësto’s “Drifting.” The track, originally released last year featuring Poppy Baskcomb, has been reimagined as part of a new remix EP that includes versions from SISTEK, KREAM, KOVEN, Jengi, and Wildstylez alongside Macon’s contribution.
Macon’s remix of “Drifting” showcases his signature hyper-techno style while preserving the ethereal vocals and trance-like melodies that defined the original. The Berlin artist’s take on the track adds his distinctive hyper kick, infusing new energy into Tiësto and Poppy Baskcomb’s collaboration. This remix represents a compelling fusion of Macon’s cutting-edge sound with Tiësto’s timeless production, offering dance music fans a fresh perspective on the 2023 release.
As an early pioneer of the hyper-techno genre, Macon has quickly risen to prominence in the electronic music scene. Macon’s production skills earned him a Grammy nomination for his work on the Kx5 album track ‘Avalanche,’ and he has collaborated with industry heavyweights such as Oliver Heldens, Sander van Doorn, and Tiësto himself. In 2023, Macon was crowned Soundcloud’s Top Streamed Electronic Artist, further cementing his status in the dance music world.
The “Drifting (Macon Remix)” arrives as part of a diverse remix package, offering listeners multiple interpretations of Tiësto and Poppy Baskcomb’s original track. Macon’s contribution stands out for its fusion of hyper-techno elements with the song’s core trance sensibilities, creating a high-energy dancefloor filler that showcases the Berlin producer’s unique sound while paying homage to Tiësto’s iconic status in electronic dance music.
