Fast-rising DJ and producer Jess Bays has dropped a club ready house remix of the Jonas Blue and Louisa Johnson collaborative hit ‘Always Be There’, out 21st October.
Firmly centred on the dance floor, the Jess Bays remix of ‘Always Be There’ is characterised by euphoric breakdowns and a deep, chunky slap house bassline. Already amassing 7 million global streams, the track has received radio support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 and Kiss FM. It was also recently performed live by Jonas and Louisa at Pacha Ibiza.
Across all of his releases – which include ‘Fast Car’, ‘Perfect Strangers’, ‘Mama’ and ‘Polaroid’ – Jonas Blue has amassed more than 17 billion global streams, 78 million single sales and 130 Platinum certifications. The first half of the year saw the producer release singles including Why Don’t We collaboration ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ that achieved over 160 million Global Streams. Jonas’s debut album, Blue is certified Gold in the UK and US and was winner of the Brit Breakthrough Award. His recent high-profile output includes his remix of ‘Run Into Trouble’ by Alok and Bastille, and his remix of ‘My Head & Heart’ by Ava Max which he also co-produced.

After winning the twelfth season of X Factor at the age of 17 – the youngest ever contestant to win – her debut single ‘Forever Young’ reached #3 in the UK charts.
