hWhat happens when you pair superstar DJs and a hip-hop classic? A refreshing remix just in time for the summertime season! Loud Luxury has been on the road this summer for a string of shows, but the Canadian DJ duo have also found time to work on new music. Andrew and Joe have teamed up with Billboard and Starbucks for an exclusive remix of Ini Kamoze’s 1994 smash, “Here Comes the Hotsteppper,” in honor of the hit’s 30-year anniversary. During our interview with the duo, they admitted that the energetic sing-a-long hook is their favorite part of the classic. Joe told us, “They mentioned the idea to the ice shake and the ‘Ahh’ just came naturally,” as they wanted to make this a summery track that fans could vibe to. “It’s such an iconic vocal that it was something we could take and reimagine in our own world. Once you hear that main hook, everybody knows it.” For more on Loud Luxury’s remix of “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” head over to billboard.com
