Following his remix of “Bum Bum Tam Tam” with Diplo, MAKJ has returned with a moombahton rework of Joe Budden‘s 2003 anthem, “Pump It Up.”

Produced by Just Blaze, “Pump It Up” peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is Budden’s most commercially successful single and is considered by some to be one of Blaze’s best productions.

MAK’s remix gives energy to an already energetic track, adding build-ups and flute-laden drops.

“‘Pump It Up’ was one of my favorite songs to play when I first started DJing,” MAK tells us. “I’m stoked to bring back this classic song!”
