French DJ-producer Upsilone went viral thanks to his remix of Cascada’s 2006 eurodance hit “Everytime We Touch.” Slowed down into a darker, hypnotic hardwave version, it exploded on TikTok in early 2025, making Upsilone one of the new names to watch in French electronic music.
In the ever-changing world of electronic music, some tracks rise to fame without warning. That’s exactly what happened with Upsilone’s remix of “Everytime We Touch.” In just a few weeks, the French DJ-producer established himself as one of the new names to watch on the Electro/Dance scene.
A remix that reinvents a 2000s classic
Released in 2006, Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch” is one of the most iconic eurodance anthems of the 2000s. Nearly twenty years later, Upsilone (known for hybrid productions blending House, Techno and Bass Music) took on the classic, slowing the tempo and plunging it into a darker, hypnotic atmosphere flirting with melodic techno and hardwave. The approach contrasts radically with the original and immediately won over a wide audience.
TikTok, the engine of success
If Upsilone’s remix exploded, it was largely thanks to TikTok. It started with a single video using the track in the background of a hypnotic night-time sequence. Soon the sound was reused in thousands of videos, aesthetic edits, festival aftermovies, slow-motion urban shots. The viral effect was immediate: Shazam searches exploded, Spotify streams soared, and the track landed in the most influential playlists.
A phenomenon revealing new trends
The remix’s success perfectly illustrates how electronic music evolves in the digital age. A few years ago, an underground remix would have taken months or years to reach such an audience; today, TikTok can turn a confidential track into a global hit in record time. It also reflects growing interest in retro sounds revisited with contemporary influences, the hardwave wave, fusing trance, techno and nostalgic synths, resonates with new generations.
What’s next?
Buoyed by this success, Upsilone could capitalise on his sudden exposure. New projects are already in preparation, and his name will likely soon sit alongside the most prominent emerging artists of the Electro and Dance scene. The remix proves once again that music can be reborn in new forms, carried by bold artists and the viral momentum of social media.
