Description
The creative idea involved remixing a classic theme song using an artist who is mainstream enough to assure a huge media and social media coverage, but who also uses the brand product in his day-to-day work.
DJ Snake is a French but also internationally known DJ. In 2015, he produced the most streamed track in history “Lean on” with Major Lazer (+1.3 Billion views on Youtube). He has collaborated with Lady Gaga and Aluna George and his track, "Middle" is played worldwide both in clubs and on the radio. This lent him a gravitas unrivaled in the galaxy of innovative DJ/ Producers.
