To celebrate the summertime season, Loud Luxury has teamed up with Billboard and Starbucks to create a refreshing remix of iNi Kamoze’s 1994 classic, “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” in honor of the hit’s 30-year anniversary.
As part of the partnership, the Canadian DJ duo gave the hip-hop classic the EDM treatment, pairing the sing-a-long hook with the makings of the Starbucks Summer Refreshers Beverage®. The reimagined cut hears Andrew Fedyk and Joe Depace trade the dancehall backbone for a thumping bass, while incorporating sonic nods to the drink like an ice shake and the cool exhale from taking a refreshing sip. The original track took to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in 1994.
“The idea to do the ice shake and the ‘ahh,’ it honestly just came organically from the fact that we wanted to make this a really summery track, and we always try to throw in something that feels familiar,” Fedyk said of the mix in a new video interview, which highlights the pair’s creation of the track.

Meanwhile, Depace spoke about what it means to find balance amid their non-stop schedules, yet still tend to their creative muse. “We’re surrounded by loud noise all the time. We’re in the studio, club [and] festivals. Sometimes inspiration hits even when we’re trying to relax,” he explained. In between their studio session, the producing pair took in the summertime heat by lounging by the pool with their Starbucks, playing mini-golf and even getting their BBQ on at an open rooftop.
In addition to putting their refreshing twist on “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” Loud Luxury also curated a vibrant playlist of their favorite dance-ready essentials for your next summer pool party. Click here for more on that!
