From ACRAZE:
“I don’t think people understand the vision with this Don Toliver collab. He’s one of my idols. He’s never put out a dance music remix in his career. At least from what I’m told and have seen. DJs have remixed his songs for ages and to be able to be the first official remix for Don Toliver is INSANE. This is a big moment for hip-hop and dance music. My whole life, I’ve always wanted to collide worlds with my craft. THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR DANCE MUSIC.”
Celebrated for his dynamic productions and innovative approach, ACRAZE continues to redefine the electronic music landscape. He first captured global attention with his transformative rework of Cherish’s 2006 hit “Do It To It,” which became a global dance chart-topper and a cultural phenomenon, amassing over 12 billion streams. His unparalleled ability to bridge musical eras is evident in reworks ranging from contemporary hits like Sam Smith and Kim Petras’s “Unholy” to classics like “Funky Town”. His collaboration with Don Toliver – one of ACRAZE's personal favorite artists—marks a significant milestone, serving as his first venture into fusing hip-hop with dance music and being the first artist to craft an official remix for Don Toliver. This release showcases his commitment to blending mainstream sounds with dance dynamics, continuing his trajectory with a Las Vegas residency at Encore Beach Club and a notable close at EDC Las Vegas’s Kinetic Field, proving his boundary-pushing prowess in sculpting today’s electronic soundscape.
