R3HAB Gives Hard-Hitting Remix To DJ Snake & Peso Pluma’s Latin Dance-Pop Hit “Teka”

As if DJ Snake and Peso Pluma‘s latest Latin dance-pop release “Teka” wasn’t hot enough, esteemed Dutch/Moroccan DJ/producer R3HAB prepares a party-ready remix of it. Clocking in at an impressive 145 beats per minute, R3HAB’s rendition gives the original a driving, pounding bassline and digitized, bouncy synths layered with Peso Pluma’s Spanish vocals during its most heart-pounding moments. The result is primed for clubs and festivals just as the summer season is in its full glory, and happens right in time for R3HAB’s epic upcoming performance at the famed Tomorrowland festival in Boom, Belgium on July 26th. R3HAB’s remix of “Teka” is out now via Universal’s Interscope Records, and follows R3HAB’s other recent notable releases, such as “Disco Marathon” with Don Diablo and NEEKA, “My Girl” with Da Tweekaz and “Animal” with Jason Derulo among others. 

Multi-platinum DJ and producer Fadil El Ghoul, better known as R3HAB, has been trailblazing his way through dance music for the past fifteen years. From his breakthrough remixes for RihannaDrake, Taylor Swift, and Calvin Harris to anthems such as Platinum-certified “All Around The World (La La La)” and “Lullaby,” to his collaborations with the likes of Ava Max, ZAYN, Luis Fonsi, Sean Paul, and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most forward-thinking artists in the game. His work has collected over 11 billion streams to date, including more than 1.2B in 2023 alone. R3HAB founded his label CYB3RPVNK in 2016, which has passed 4B streams across platforms since its inception. R3HAB continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with artists around the globe, pushing the boundaries of dance music as he collaborates across genres and languages. He is Spotify’s Most Discovered Artist, one of Spotify’s top 350 most streamed artists, ranked #14 on the prestigious DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs chart, and has earned over 80 Diamond, Platinum, and Gold certificates. R3HAB has embarked on multiple sold-out worldwide tours and was the first dance music artist to sell out 15 consecutive shows in China. On top of that, he performed at the world’s top festivals, such as EDC, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, Balaton Sound, Coachella, Summer Sonic Festival, DWP Jakarta. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB has earned his place as a household name in dance music. 

Over the last decade, DJ Snake has achieved the kind of rarefied and wildly transformative success that few artists ever come close to attaining. Originally from a housing project on the outskirts of Paris, the multi-platinum-selling DJ/producer has shattered industry records with smash hits such as “Taki Taki,” earned diamond certification from the RIAA for “Lean On” (with Major Lazer), delivered era-defining bangers like “Turn Down for What” (with Lil Jon), and made history as the first artist to perform atop the roof of the Arc de Triomphe. Along with repeatedly turning out tracks that top the charts around the world – including three songs that have surpassed a staggering billion streams on Spotify—the multi-award-winning phenom brings his boundary-pushing ingenuity to music that builds unexpected and undeniably powerful bridges between vastly different cultures and genres. Taking his stage name from his former moniker as a graffiti artist, he started DJ-ing in his early teens and soon dropped out of high school to work at a famed Paris record shop, then immersed himself in music production at the age of 19 to become a decade later one of the most important electronic music artists in the world. 

Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, Peso Pluma is paving the way for the next generation of Mexican artists. The young up-and-comer has been making a name for himself with his unparalleled style and authenticity. Drawing inspiration from a variety of musical genres, including Regional Mexican and Latin Urban, Peso Pluma is reinventing the genre with his sultry vocals and eclectic sounds. In June 2023 he became the first artist to dominate both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. simultaneously with two different songs: “Ella Baila Sola” with Eslabon Armado and “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 55” alongside Bizarrap. Earlier this year, he released “Chanel” with Becky G, and they performed the track together at the 2023 Latin American Music Awards, where Peso Pluma was a surprise guest during her mainstage performance at weekend one of Coachella 2023. Having recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Peso Pluma is breaking the mold and showing the next generation of artists that a musician’s superpower is remaining true to themselves. Signed to Prajin ParleyInc. from Prajin Music Group and Worms Music, Peso Pluma also recently launched his own record label – Double P Records (in partnership with Prajin Music Group), under which he will release his upcoming album. He is also Spotify’s newest RADAR artist.
