Destructo’s Version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” Is The Country Queen’s New Favorite Remix: Listen

With his new remix of Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene,” Destructo is officially EDM’s latest superstar to pop on a pair of cowboy boots and try his hand at a lil’ country twang. Only in this case, the boots are probably pink, paired with rhinestones and a V-neck for good measure.  Out via RCA and Sony Music, Destructo’s version is one of the only official “Jolene” remixes to ever grace the ears of the public and, according to Parton in a press release, it’s her favorite. “It makes me want to dance!” she said.   Notably, this isn’t the Queen of Country’s first foray into electronic music. In 2019, her collaboration with Galantis and Mr. Probz, “Faith,” topped the charts with its of-the-moment tro...

Destructo Announces Special New Year’s Day Sunrise Sermon DJ Set

Let’s be honest—there’s a chance that 2020’s hideousness will spill over into 2021. It’s a thought that we’re all trying to avoid in the name of optimism, but it very well may happen thanks to nationwide lockdowns that become more stringent by the hour. Before 2021 goes off the rails, though, Destructo is kicking off the year on a rosy note. The FriendShip founder, who has emerged as one of the most prolific streaming DJs in the COVID-19 age, has announced a special Sunrise Sermon set on New Year’s Day. 2020 saw Destructo take his patented performances to the virtual concert space, where he livestreamed marathon sets for fans who had nowhere to dance but their kitchens and bedrooms.
