On Friday, September 8^th, GORDO released his own remix of Cenere, the smash hit of the Italian rapper Lazza. The song topped the Italian chart after finishing second at the last edition of the Sanremo Festival.

With his dance remix of Cenere, the Nicaraguan-American DJ/Producer once again shows his taste in fusing musical styles from across the globe. His previous release was the single Parcera, created with Colombian superstar Maluma.

Listen to Cenere (GORDO Remix)

GORDO premiered the remix of Cenere at Italy’s Nameless Festival in June, performing with Lazza himself. In his version, Cenere (originally a song between rap and pop) has gotten a complete overhaul. It boasts a dance-infused tempo that surges beyond 140 bpm. GORDO’s take on Cenere kicks off with a pumping baseline featuring a 90’s flare and a kick drum that propels the beat far beyond its original, slower pace, before gradually introducing Lazza’s vocals during the track’s break.
