Fast-rising Talent Ely Oaks Delivers Explosive Remix of James Hype’s “Waterfalls” ahead of his US and European Tour
Ely Oaks, born in the ski town of Kitzbühel and now based in Berlin, has quickly become one of the fastest-rising names in dance music. Blending commercial accessibility with underground edge, he’s built a massive global audience—12 million monthly Spotify listeners, nearly a million followers across TikTok and Instagram, and the title of TikTok’s most-followed DJ in Germany in 2024. His viral breakout “Running Around” now boasts over 100 million streams and landed in Spotify’s Songs of Summer 2025, while hits like “Borderline” with LAVINIA and collaborations with Alok and Timmy Trumpet solidify his presence across charts and festivals alike.
His diverse background—from indie rock and metalcore roots to early dubstep experiments—shaped a sound that resonates on both streaming platforms and festival stages. After a breakthrough viral remix of Florence + The Machine’s “Spectrum (Say My Name)”, Ely launched into a solo career that’s taken him to stages at Tomorrowland, Ultra Australia, Ushuaïa Ibiza, and soon, EDC Orlando. With official remixes for Marshmello, James Hype, and Nate Dogg, Ely Oaks represents a new generation of DJs who channel personal history, online creativity, and live energy into a truly global dance music force.
. “I already heard this record a lot on my TikTok, so I was 110% motivated when the request came in to make my own version of it. Absolutely in love with this vocal and a big honor to have an official remix out for the legend James Hype,
Austrian-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer Ely Oaks kicks off October with an official remix of James Hype’s “Waterfalls” ft. Sam Harper & Bobby Harvey, following the massive success of his breakout single “Running Around” (100M+ Spotify streams). Ely transforms the soaring, vocal-driven original into a festival-ready banger, layering in high-energy percussion, close-to-hardstyle intensity, and club-ready dynamics that showcase his ability to balance melodic sensibilities with raw power.
The release highlights Ely’s growing versatility, bridging viral-driven online appeal with heavyweight productions for global stages. With festival appearances, viral hits, and now high-profile remixes under his belt, Ely Oaks continues to cement himself as one of dance music’s most exciting rising forces.
