SAMANTHA LOVERIDGE'S 'BACKTRACK BLOW UP' GETS THE REMIX TREATMENT FROM MAX STYLER, HITS #1
Samantha Loveridge has firmly established herself as one of electronic music’s most compelling new voices, known for emotive, melodic productions championed by the likes of Black Coffee, Jimi Jules, Dixon, and RÜFÜS DU SOL.
Following the smash success of her underground anthem 'Backtrack Blow Up', the track returns in explosive form with a remix from California’s Max Styler. Released on Camelphat’s When Stars Align, the remix amps up the intensity - earning #1 on Beatport’s Indie Dance chart and even landing a coveted spot on the Times Square billboards in New York City.
