Out now via Kurate Music, this new version breathes fire into the moody guitar-led hook that first caught Vicetone’s attention in the most unexpected setting.
Reimagining a Classic
“I first discovered the original guitar riff while doing a workout at home,” Ruben shares. “I was scrolling through YouTube Shorts when suddenly, the riff came on. I was mesmerized by it, but immediately I heard an idea form in my head to turn it into a Vicetone-style song.” Expecting it to be a big viral hit, they were surprised to learn it was still flying under the radar. “I immediately stopped my workout, ran to my studio, and started working on the first demo. About 10 hours later, I had the first version ready and contacted AJ (Tsunami J) to discuss collaboration. Luckily, he was excited about it – and this track was born.”
The original version of “Die Young,” released in 2021 by Tsunami J and Erlax, had already garnered a quiet cult following thanks to its hypnotic guitar riff and nostalgic energy. This new club-ready version reinterprets that same feeling. Through Vicetone’s signature progressive house style, blending uplifting builds with a powerful arrangement that’s perfect for packed dancefloors.
