R3hab – Samurai (Tiësto Remix) [June 27 – Spinnin’ Records]

The original mix was huge, and even a Beatport overall #1. Now, R3hab brings his hit“Samurai” back for more. This time, Tiësto has come along for the ride. Martin Garrix, Fedde Le Grand, and Ummet Ozcan were just three artists who supported the original mix, and now the Tiësto remix has found itself in the sets of Kaaze, Blasterjaxx, and Nicky Romero to name a few. There’s a few weeks of anticipation until the full release on Spinnin’ Records, and the track will drop on June 27.

There’s a slightly more epic feel to the melody. It’s just about identical to the original, but the addition of more volume and reverb makes it festival ready right from the start. Of course, another dose of the “Samurai” melody is never a bad thing, so hearing it completely unaltered just improves the quality of the remix. After some build and the same vocal sample that the original mix possesses, the Tiësto drop goes harder. The drop is pounding, and has a full-octane top line. Its no surprise now that this new remix has so much support, and June 27 could not come quickly enough.
