It was a record that may have otherwise been buried in the archives, but with the help of TikTok’s algorithm, David Guetta and Bebe Rexha‘s “I’m Good (Blue),” is finally seeing an official release. “It’s nostalgic to when I was younger,” Rexha told Rolling Stone. “Listening to Eiffel 65’s original song and it was just a fun record that we put together naturally.” Years prior, the “Hey Mama” collaborators teamed up to remix this turn of the century classic. Guetta even rinsed it out during his mainstage performance at Ultra Music Festival 2017. At the time, it seemed like an official release wasn’t meant to be, but after the winds of TikTok got a snippet of the single, it was suddenly off to the races. Rexha comman...
The nostalgia runs wild on Softest Hard‘s latest single, “I’m Blue,” a festival-ready take on Eiffel 65‘s iconic 1998 anthem, “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” But it doesn’t end there: you’ll also hear the silky smooth voice of autotune king T-Pain, whom Softest Hard tapped for the track’s lead vocal. Released July 15th via HARD Recs, “I’m Blue” interweaves retro synths with Softest Hard’s signature saturated drums. Rave cowbells, a scintillating bass breakdown and, of course, rally calls courtesy of T-Pain rally calls also appear underneath a glistening house melody. “I needs me an edm/house/techno producer that knows the space and I know I can lead us to musical greatness,” T-Pain wrote on Twitter las...

Flume, a true poet of our generation, rocked our feeds when he dropped in with a post on Instagram back in May 2020 that read, “Roses r red my face is blue here is a song I made it for u.” The Australian producer painted up to look as if he was a member of the Blue Man Group while playing the 1998 Europop Grammy Award-nominated cult hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” by Eiffel 65 was the exact content we needed. While it originally was brushed off as quarantine fun, it actually blossomed into a highly anticipated official remix.

However, it’s now back up and available across all pla...
EDM superstar Flume recently took on one of dance music’s most recognizable anthems ever, serving up a remix of the Eiffel 65 classic “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” After he teased the remix on his Instagram, it was actually posted to Beatport yesterday, July 1st.

Searches of Flume’s social channels also yield no news of exactly wh...
Flume took to Instagram today to share a clip of him working on a new remix of Eiffel 65‘s infamous 1998 Grammy Award-winning hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” He treats fan to the comedic side of Flume with the video, which shows the prolific Australian producer working on his “Blue” remix with blue paint smeared all over his face and hands as if he were a Smurf. Flume has the distinct ability to take any song he wants, wave a magic production wand, and turn it into a beautiful electronic effort oozing with a sound all his own. Such is the case with this remix, as he takes “Blue,” which is not an easy song to remix by any means, and infuses his signature future bass sound with thick 808s and expertly pitched vocal chops. Flume’s puppy, on the oth...
