It’s barely been a week since Avicii’s posthumous album TIM was released, and Tiësto is already coming out swinging with a new remix of the artist’s song “Tough Love” with Agnes, Vargas & Lagola.
“Tough Love” was released as the second single from TIM and features an Arabian influence in the strings with a more subdued drop section that plays more to a quick-paced ballroom dance than jumping and raging in a crowd at a festival.
Tiësto figured there should at least be some of that; he puts his own spin on the original by taking the melody and chopping it up, modulating it, and giving it a much more bouncy rhythm. Now tuned for the main stage, tens of thousands can rage to Avicii again when they catch Tiësto dropping this live.
Listen to one legend remix another below.
