RICO Drops Scintillating Remix Of ‘When I’m Gone’ by Alesso & Katy Perry!

The team-up of Alesso and Katy Perry brought the world of pop and electronic dance music together and was a match made in heaven. With both its original release and subsequent VIP mix from Alesso, it seemed like all bases were covered when it came to the potential of this collab. In steps RICO, the American producer who felt the releases were missing something and he decided to give us his own take on the track, blowing our minds in the process.

Taking the single and turning it into a bass-infused future house weapon packed to the brim with infectious grooves, RICO gives this single a different feel and in turn, makes it the perfect track to start or end the party. The remix is built around the vocals from Katy Perry as RICO lets them do the talking for the breakdown. He expertly pairs those vocals with some subtle groovy tones. The remix kicks into the next gear as he builds towards the drop with tense risers and rattling drum samples. The drop comes and it does not disappoint as RICO then introduces an addictive and rhythmic hook with a low lying groovy bassline that backs it up perfectly. A tremendous remix, RICO makes sure you won’t forget his name with this one.
