04 Aug Tiësto remixes Becky Hill’s “Disconnect”
Two-time BRIT Award winner Becky Hill releases the hypnotic Tiësto remix of “Disconnect,” her blistering collaboration with Chase & Status. Stream/download HERE
Trading in the moody atmospherics of the drum ‘n’ bass original for a pulse-pounding, revved-up rendition, Tiësto takes the enthralling anthem to a whole new level.
“I ain’t gonna lie to you, life’s been fuckin life-ing,” the powerhouse vocalist belts over the Dutch producer’s throbbing percussion on the remix. “And I need a night or two to get me unwinding.” Swapping out fuzzed-out synths for frenetic house beats that leap from the speakers, Tiësto’s overhaul is a shot of adrenaline that doesn’t quit. Becky referred to the original version of “Disconnect” as “a true dance floor record that tows the line between the rave and the radio” — and that description is equally applicable to the remix.
‘Disconnect’ follows ‘Side Effects’, a No1 Radio Airplay Chart record, which was A-listed at Radio 1 and placed at #1 on Spotify’s New Music Friday. It elevated Becky over the landmark of a billion UK streams, an achievement which was honoured with a Brit Billion Award by the BPI. Her phenomenal domestic success contributes to a global tally in excess of 7 billion streams as a lead artist.
Becky’s upcoming live shows will provide plenty of opportunities to take ‘Disconnect’ to huge audiences this summer. Her headline show at Custom House Square in Belfast sold-out months in advance, and her festival dates include Leeds, Creamfields North, Reading and a headline set at Weekender Jersey. Her YOU / ME / US residency at Ibiza Rocks which recently came to an end after two month, will be followed by North American headline shows in Los Angeles (August 10th), Boston (October 5th) and New York (October 6th). She is also one of the initial names confirmed for the KISS Haunted House Party alongside Flo and Jax Jones. Her upcoming UK shows are:
