Viral Producer Ely Oaks Reimagines Elle King’s Iconic “Ex’s & Oh’s” with a High-Octane Twist. Out Now on Sony Music/RCA Records
Born in the Austrian ski town of Kitzbühel and now based in Berlin, Ely Oaks has quickly become one of dance music’s most exciting breakout stars. Blending underground club energy with pop accessibility, he’s built a massive global following—amassing over 12 million monthly Spotify listeners and nearly a million social followers. In 2024, TikTok named him Germany’s #1 most-followed DJ, highlighting his ability to captivate audiences both online and on stage. His viral hit “Running Around” surpassed 100 million streams and landed in Spotify’s Songs of Summer 2025, while collaborations like “Borderline” with LAVINIA and high-profile partnerships with Alok, Timmy Trumpet, and James Hype have cemented his crossover appeal.
Rooted in an eclectic background that spans indie rock, metalcore, and early dubstep, Ely’s evolution from small-town dreamer to festival headliner reflects a fearless creative drive. A viral Florence + The Machine remix launched his solo career in 2021, leading to performances at Tomorrowland, Ultra Australia, and Ushuaïa Ibiza, with a debut at EDC Orlando ahead. Whether through viral remixes or mainstage anthems, Ely Oaks represents a new generation of electronic artists—blending personal history, genre fluidity, and digital-native storytelling into a truly global sound.
Following his standout remix of James Hype’s “Waterfalls,” Berlin-based DJ and producer Ely Oaks wastes no time keeping the momentum alive with his latest release, “Ex’s & Oh’s.” Putting his electrifying stamp on Elle King’s 2014 breakout hit, Ely flips the blues-rock anthem—known for its rebellious spirit, smoky vocals, and Grammy-nominated swagger—into a high-voltage dance floor weapon. While the original thrived on grit and attitude, Ely’s version surges with the adrenaline of the modern rave scene, trading guitars for serrated synths, thunderous kicks, and relentless basslines that pulse with raw intensity.
Balancing nostalgia with innovation, Ely preserves the track’s tongue-in-cheek charm while driving it straight into festival territory. The playful vocals now cut through a wall of hardstyle drops, shimmering leads, and a groove that bridges disco flirtation with peak-hour chaos. It’s a masterclass in reinvention—one that transforms a rock radio classic into a hands-in-the-air club anthem. With “Ex’s & Oh’s,” Ely continues to prove his versatility as one of dance music’s most fearless remixers, capable of turning unexpected genres into pure, unfiltered euphoria.
