Freejak Remixes Otto Knows’ ‘Million Voices’: DJcity Premiere

UK-based DJ and producer Freejak is back with a new version of Otto Knows‘ 2012 classic, “Million Voices.” The original track has charted in Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Sweden.

Regarding the remix, Freejak says, “I am so lucky to DJ regularly and even luckier to be able to create my own versions of epic anthems like ‘Million Voices’ to play in my sets. I’ve tried to make a version for those deeper, darker and dirty moments in a DJs set. What was an almost perfect record I’ve tried to find a balanced juxtaposition between the original soaring highs and the new deep tech bases.”
