Expanding the scope of their biggest hit to date once more, Glass Animals drops a new remix pack of “Heat Waves” today—listen to Heat Waves (Expansion Pack) HERE: https://glassanimals.lnk.to/HeatwavesEXPPR

This time around, the band recruited UK dance music phenomenon Riton to reimagine, re-envision and recharge the single. He powers up “Heat Waves” with his signature four-on-the-floor house bounce, adding another dimension to the track as it amplifies frontman Dave Bayley’s fiery falsetto. Synths and bass lock into an unshakable groove as “Heat Waves” gets even hotter. The remix accompanies previously-released versions of the track by Oliver Heldens and Sonny Fodera, which EDM.com praised saying, “Both energetic house remixes elevate the original song’s success,” while Dancing Astronaut proclaims they were created for “dance floor primetime.”

This week, “Heat Waves” climbed to #1 on the Alternative Radio Chart, a first for the band in their career. The song is also #1 on Mediabase, #1 on Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart and #1 on Apple Music Alternative Genre Chart, and it continues to grow on the Top 40 Radio Chart and made its debut on Apple Music All Genres Chart.
