COMMOTION turns up the heat with “Booty Calls (Rewind Remix)”

At a time when every EDM track starts to sound more like the last, COMMOTION has released a new remix of their original rock anthem “Booty Calls (Rewind Remix). Trading crunching guitars for silky hip-hop grooves and maintaining just enough of the original’s dirt, COMMOTION churns out a version as playful and impossible to resist as the track itself. “Booty Calls (Rewind Remix)” further proves that remixes don’t have to be throwaways; they can be reimaginings that elevate a song, giving it a reborn perspective and infectious energy.

But the attitude beyond the production makes this track pop. There’s a bashful and sneaky charm in every line, every beat drop, every sly vocal delivery. It’s almost as if you can hear the smirk behind the mic. It’s not a cooler-than-thou song; it’s cooler-than-thou because it doesn’t work. It has a good sense of what it is: a club night, windows down, a dim after-midnight entry that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

And “Booty Calls (Rewind Remix)” drips nighttime cool from the jump. Shimmering synth textures and strummed guitar come in as the beat pulses with an R&B heartbeat before fading back out again; there’s a nod to the song’s rock roots, but it never sounds out of place. It feels like your favorite dive bar decided to take up neon lighting, and somehow, it all fits. In this release, COMMOTION shows they’re not afraid to branch out creatively, and most importantly, they know how to make it sound good.

The purpose-built-for-dancing “Booty Calls (Rewind Remix)” can fit on an overly crowded dance floor in a room full of strangers or on your own, by yourself in your bedroom. It makes you want to move, laugh, and listen again. The intermingling of genres here is seamless, and COMMOTION strikes a balance between slick and gritty like it’s no big thing. Whether you’re new to COMMOTION or have been riding along with them since the beginning, this remix is 100% worth a listen; Just don’t be surprised if it ends up on an endless loop.
