The music video was filmed in bulgaria and its hot stuff. Yeah you make. Some. Subtle look that much of the drink thats not. Thinking straight. Reaching number one in the u. S. Charts was something no german had managed in twenty seven years. And did it with his remakes of cheerleader in two thousand and fifteen conquered the charts of the worlds biggest music market heres the story behind the song. At the brandenburg berlin of course biggest hit the remakes of a song. Is on the set list. Remakes of the song was commissioned in twenty fourteen to the. Country of course i was really pleased when the request came through and it was that i was amazed that such a large Record Company would get in touch with me. I really liked the song i thought it had a lot of potential a lot of people dont know the original its a reggae pop tune from two thousand and twelve. And this reggae pop tune was only a hit in jamaica at first. Then i told them hey send me the acapella track just the vocals i sped it up quite a lot over twenty beats per minute faster and then i built a new track the remix around that. Theres no trumpet in the original but fifty one for his remakes so he calls. I was at the pool when my phone rang and it was felix saying hey how about it and im like sure ill be home soon anyway ill see what i can do i sat down at home listen to the song played it through twice and was pretty much done. So what was originally a reggae song became a tropical house track. Just as was the studio theres a huge studio and thousands of coproducers but i just fed it all into my computer and mixed it myself with the trackpad and faders it and that was it actually for the mastering i went to the Record Company. And that was a huge honor getting to do the remakes back then but it wasnt planned to be such a huge breakthrough. Single has sold eight Million Units so far doesnt a hit like that put him under some pressure. However manage another number one in the u. S. Especially if it were entirely my own song i keep trying to. Catch. Have now produced a track together its called masterpiece but it was a flop in the charts it seems success is not that easy to repeat. Because we love it so much heres the cheerleader felix doesnt appear in it instead we get to meet the original singer who also became world famous after the remakes was released by for now and see you next time on pop export.
