The Swedish DJ, producer and label boss of Refune records returns after his sensational dance single "FLAGS" with Dark River.

With initially quiet acoustic sounds and vocals, the track quickly turns into an EDM masterpiece with hard Drops, stark basslines and plump synthesizers.

On May 20 the  Axwell Remode version will be released as well. 

Sebastian Ingrosso, has already served as a DJ at the Main Stages of the largest electronic music festival, and he  has been very successful producer as well.

Besides his own productions which have influenced the global dancefloor sounds such as, Calling (Lose My Mind) 'featuring Alesso,' Reload 'featuring Tommy Trash and John Martin and many more, he has also remixed Robyn, Justin Timberlake and Miike Snow just to name a few.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Ingrosso is a true star of the electronic music scene circuit and his track Dark River signals a change for him as from the big mainstage sounds he moves towards a more deep house/future house with rave house style track. Rather than the big anthem Swedish synths the track is directed towards the Oliver Heldens sound that seems to prevail and DJs like Tiesto to follow in their productions as well. The breakdown is really beautiful with acoustic guitars with that country sounding chorus that is perfect for USA audiences. The drop is intense and energetic to keep the festival arenas instantly gratified. Love it [/content]

Dimitri Kechagias review: After the massive success of his single Million Voices that manage to stay at the top of the charts of many countries including Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, his home country Sweden and UK, the slowly but quickly rising to the top Otto Knows presents the remixes of his fantastic progressive house smasher Parachute. The package is varied and targets different sections and subcategories of electronic dance music. First of all is the magnificent Bottai who delivers the energetic electro house version with pumping basslines, chunky grooves and very surprising disco funk infused breakdown that adds a totally different dimension to the original track. Drumsound & Bassline Smith transform the original into an energetic darker drum n bass alternative with fast drums, heavy dark bass and superb melodies combined with the memorable vocals. Zastenker transforms the original into the melodic eclectic deep house version with relaxing chilling grooves, deep haunting basslines, electronic synths and summery sunkissed atmosphere. Last but not least Camelphat provide the retro deep house meets garage sounding remix that is calm, sensual, funky, feel good and dreamy combined with some very dark garage house influenced basslines and percussive melodies to blow your speaker. Who knows maybe those remixes manage to touch the big crowds worldwide. #PureGold Love It

Since his debut release of ’Million Voices’ back in 2012, Otto Knows has been hard  at work. 

His follow up single ‘Parachute’ exploded into summer and he’s back again with a rework of Bebe Rexha’s ‘Can’t Stop Drinking About You’, scheduled to be released on the 15th of September via Refune. 

Reconstructing the track from a melodic pop song into a high energy club anthem, Otto adds his signature style with hands in the air synths and a euphoric drop, all without stifling the stunning original vocal from Bebe. 

Bebe Rexha got her first break as the front woman for the Pete Wentz project, Black Cards. 

With Wentz returning to Fall Out Boy duties, Bebe started writing songs which lead her to co-penning Eminem's chart smash ‘The Monster’ that spent 5 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Charts, and sold over 5 millions singles worldwide. 

Recently enjoying mainstream success as the writer and featured artist on the debut single for Cash Cash, ‘Take Me Home’, Bebe has been listed as one of Billboard‘s ‘Buzzing, Breaking, Blowing Up’ acts who is set to define 2014’ and her collaboration with Otto Knows only further enhances her status.

In-between reworking Bebe’s single, Otto has spent his summer on the road, stopping at critically acclaimed dance festivals Global Gathering, Creamfields and Electric Zoo, as well as further appearances at the world renowned Departures night in Ibiza’s Ushuaïa club with Axwell / Ingrosso and Alesso. 

Having launched his summer with the anthemic ‘Parachute’ Otto is gaining momentum and shows no sign of slowing. 

As he looks set to close out the season in style with the excellent ‘I Can’t Stop Drinking About You’, be prepared to hear a lot more from Otto Knows.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Otto Knows continues to catapult the big clubs, sold out festivals and worldwide events with his superb euphoric progressive house sounds. His latest rework on Bebe Rexha track Can't Stop Drinking About You manifests his ability to transform anything he touches into something magical. His arrangement is neat and clear and you can guess correctly where and when the next element will come as he follows the classic epic euphoric progressive house composition without any changes or differences. The vocal stands out and you can feel electric shock all over your body when Bebe sings with her indie pop voice. It's profound that is going to be one of the most played tracks in the coming months. #PureGold Love It
