Don Quijote X BeatRehab

We've been on a bit of a cln. binge lately but it's hard when he keeps pushing out so many amazing tracks. His remix of GRMM's "Electrify" is no exception to that trend. Yet again, we have a couple of Australian producers on a remix/original collaboration (big surprise there).

You must be thinking to yourself, "Seriously CasaSwoop? An electro-house remix of a singer/songwriter track? What the fuck is wrong with you? What have you been smoking?" But b...
