Dimitri Kechagias review: It's impossible not to like Katy Perry. She is the one of the finest singers of her generation with a lot of humour. Her music videos always impress us with the stunning visuals that support the tracks to become even bigger hits and look at them through a different Prism. Dark Horse will continue her successful career with excellent club remix from the Chicago based Grant Harris, better known by his stage name GOLDHOUSE, who is a American DJ, singer, songwriter and remixer. His version is a massive uplifting electro meets progressive house version that  rocks. Powerful basslines, pumping rocking beats and huge euphoric synths combined with the full vocals that sound so good within the rough hard dance context. On his club mix he use just some parts of the rap vocals and he mainly focus on Katy's breathtaking performance. Perfect for mainstage sets its the kind of track that will be easily recognisable and unite thousands to sing along the lovely vocals. The Goldhouse long radio edit is perfect for radio use as it focus more on the vocals and includes the full Juicy J vocal as well. Hands in the air and lets take a ride upon the Dark HorseManhattan Clique Remixes are added on the package and the well known project service an exceptional moody electro house version with heavy basslines, pumping beats and synthy melodies as well. The Juicy J vocal comes in the final section and sounds ultra cool upon the bouncy driving beats. Hip house at ite finest that works like a treat with Katy's godsgifted voice. There is shorter Mixshow edit with more active Juicy J involvement in it and instrumental mix as well for those who would like to experiment with their own acapella maybes. 4FRNT deliver their excellent trap remix that is super groovy and highly infectious so if you hear it once you will feel the urge to play and listen again. Underground production with excellent application of the original elements in order to blow the speakers and bring the mayhem on trap floors. Great package of remixes. Who is not in love with Katy? Love iT
