Rolling Stone plugged it on their ‘200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time’ list, with the rock bible stating, “…a collaboration between two of the biggest dance stars to emerge in the late 2000s — has an appealing modesty about it, even as it induces mass singalongs at festivals (still).” Its enduring factor solidifies itself once again with the release of “I Remember (John Summit Remix)” today, July 7 on mau5trap.
