Showtek track “Slow Down” Gets Fresh New Remix
In 2013, artist Showtek released “Slow Down”, an instant club classic. The EDM community cites it as an instant anthem and classic, with the song’s pulsing, hypnotic motif introducing many to the world of techno. Over a decade later, the classic has received a fresh twist that still maintains the Big Room-energy that fans of the original will love. GESES and LUSO feature on the club-ready remix, recycling the original vocals with new synths and percussion that truly elevates the original soundtrack.
LUSSO, born and raised in New York, now resides in Amsterdam and is one of the core members of Big Room 2.0. His primary objective when making music is bringing signature mainstage energy to all tracks. He’s been featured in both ULTRA and Tomorrowland, and he’s worked with artists such as Hardwell, Timmy Trumpet, Afrojack, Showtek, Bassjackers, Blasterjaxx, and more. About the remix, he says, “This remix took over before it was even signed. GESES and LUSSO made it in 2022 just for fun. But the energy was too strong to ignore. The Chainsmokers dropped it at festivals around the world. Showtek played it at their biggest shows. More than 100 DJs supported it. Now it’s finally official. At 130 BPM in E minor, this track blends house groove with EDM power. It hits hard but still fits any set. Big energy. Easy to mix. Proven on every kind of dance floor. Add this weapon to your crate.”
GESES, a former radio dance producer, aims to blend both old-school techno and the vibrant energy of today’s techno festivals. Dubbing his unique sound “nu world rave”, his music is hypnotic and has amassed a relatively large global fanbase. He, too, has partnered with major names in the techno sphere all over the world, and his music has gained recognition in over 30 DJ mags and 100 acts.
The two artists working together on this track is what truly elevates it from its 2013-classic status to something fresh for the scene today. Both describe themselves as more than just an EDM act, so it’s understandable why the music is more than just another remix, but a reflection of the ever-changing global techno space.
