Ely Oaks Transforms James Hype's "Waterfalls" into Festival-Ready Weapon

Austrian-born, Berlin-based producer Ely Oaks is riding an unstoppable wave of momentum into October with his explosive remix of James Hype's "Waterfalls ft. Sam Harper & Bobby Harvey," out October 3. Fresh from the massive success of his breakout single "Running Around," which has surpassed 100 million Spotify streams and earned a coveted spot in Spotify's Songs of Summer 2025 campaign, Ely continues to prove why he's become one of dance music's most versatile rising forces. The remix showcases his ability to take a soaring progressive vocal-driven track and inject it with heart-pounding, close-to-hardstyle energy that's built for the biggest festival stages.

The Kitzbühel native's connection to the original track made this remix particularly meaningful for him. "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," Ely reveals. His transformation of "Waterfalls" demonstrates the unique sweet spot he occupies in electronic music—balancing commercial accessibility with underground club dynamics while maintaining the raw energy that's made him TikTok's #1 most-followed DJ in Germany.

With over 12 million monthly Spotify listeners and nearly 1 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, Ely Oaks has cultivated a global fanbase through his fusion of viral-driven creativity and heavyweight productions. His collaborative hit "Borderline" with LAVINIA climbed to #35 on the UK Singles Chart and #17 on the German Singles Chart, while high-profile collaborations with Alok ("Tsunami") and Timmy Trumpet ("Sound Of Da Police") have further cemented his crossover appeal. This latest official remix for James Hype—following previous remixes for Marshmello and Nate Dogg—confirms that Ely Oaks isn't just creating viral moments, but building a legitimate career as one of dance music's most sought-after producers capable of delivering both streaming hits and dancefloor destruction.
