In a much-needed blast from the past, Grammy award-winning, international dance icon Tiësto has retouched Cherub’s synth-pop classic ‘Doses & Mimosas’. The result takes the melancholic tune deeper than ever, building on warming house rhythms, subtle melodies, and spacious effects, letting Tiësto explore yet another side of his legendary productional talent. Come along for the ride, as Tiësto’s remix of ‘Doses & Mimosas’ is out now on Musical Freedom.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the original ‘Doses & Mimosas’ served as a claim to fame for burgeoning US indie-electronic duo Cherub. Since then, they’ve effortlessly explored their synth-pop-inspired sound, although this early hit has remained an all-time summer classic. Last year, ‘Doses & Mimosas’ was lifted to new heights with a tasty remix by Vintage Culture & Zerky, but now the master himself is here to take the record into an exciting new direction.
Never afraid to surprise his audience with a rejuvenated sound, Tiësto dives deep into the ‘Doses & Mimosas’ melancholic sound, setting the tone with a compelling bassline, punchy snares, and spacious FX. The mood intensifies as soulful vocals and warm synth pads take the lead, beautifully inspired by Cherub’s original melody, yet fully committed to the club-ready vibe.
Along with the indestructible vocals, the Dutchman presents the lead melody in all its grandeur, causing his new version to echo 80s synth-pop, 90s instrumental house, and deep 2022 cuts. It’s a mesmerizing new guise for ‘Doses & Mimosas’, built as a true DJ weapon by one of the industry’s most versatile artists.
