Freejak Remixes Rihanna’s ‘Only Girl (In The World)’: DJcity Premiere
UK-based DJ and producer Freejak returns with a smooth house remix of Rihanna‘s 2010 hit, “Only Girl (In The World).” The original track, which was released on the Barbadian singer’s fifth album, Loud, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Regarding the remix, Freejak says, “I have had the honor of flipping many legendary vocalists in my time as a producer, and who wouldn’t want to work with Rihanna’s vocals? With the lion’s share of the work done from her performance I only had to try to find a compatible and comfortable backing. With a huge rave music resurgences here in the UK I wanted to reach for something of that nature and some big rave stabs just seemed to do the trick.”

Rihanna’s ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ Remixed by Spryte: DJcity Exclusive

Los Angeles-based DJ/producer Spryte‘s latest exclusive for DJcity is a remix of Rihanna’s 2007 hit “Don’t Stop The Music.” In his remix, the number one global dance single receives a pounding, deep house interpretation.
“For this track, I was messing around with soft synth guitars,” Spryte recalls. “After about a half-hour of playing different melodies on my Ableton Push, I stumbled across the main melody line I use throughout the track. I don’t usually do this, but on this track, I was inspired to work on the beat before I chose a vocal. There were a couple of different options on the table, but I ended up placing Rihanna’s ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ over the track.”

Bassline-loving Dutch duo Da Phonk and Rogerson have joined forces to remix “Pon De Replay,” Rihanna’s debut single from 2005. The original’s sweetly skittering bottom end is replaced with a more substantial and faster percussive riddim. This remix adds a husky seduction to the song’s sexy dancehall vibes.
“Pon de Replay” was not just Rihanna’s debut single. It is the first of what are now 31 top-ten Billboard singles featuring the Barbados native. It also kicked off her mainstream career with a song that has sold five million-plus copies since its release.
“We wanted to give this Rihanna song a more powerful vibe,” Da Phonk says. “So we combined my pumping drums with the signature bassline of Rogerson, created some crazy build-ups on top, and now it’s more DJ/club-friendly.”
Preview the remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.
