Stars Get Down (Nu:Tone Remix)

Nu:Tone & Subwave

Nu:Tone delivers a deep and soulful rework of Subwave’s Stars Get Down, blending crisp percussion, warm bass, and nostalgic grooves. Out now on Hospital Records.

Released 13 March 2025

Nu:Tone breathes new life into Subwave’s Stars Get Down, delivering a refined yet high-energy rework that pays homage to the 2009 original while injecting it with his signature soulful touch. Released on Hospital Records, this remix is a deep, rolling slice of liquid gold—effortlessly balancing nostalgia with fresh production flair.

From the outset, Nu:Tone’s meticulous approach to sound design shines through, with crisp percussion, warm basslines, and an immersive atmosphere that pulls you in instantly. The original’s hypnotic groove is reimagined with modern finesse, layering subtle melodic textures and deep, flowing rhythms that elevate Stars Get Down to new heights. The result is a tune that feels both timeless and rejuvenated—a masterclass in soulful Drum & Bass remixing.

For long-time fans of the original, this rework is a welcome evolution, and for newcomers, it’s a perfect introduction to the magic of both Subwave and Nu:Tone. Expect to hear this one lighting up sets and playlists for months to come.
