DAVID LEE ROTH And ARMIN VAN BUUREN Team Up On 'Jump' Remix

18 May 2019

It's not every day that you see two very different legendary artists team up for a common cause, but today is one of those memorable days that dance music fans won't soon forget — the renowned Dutch DJ and producer Armin Van Buuren has taken on the challenge of remixing VAN HALEN's classic 1983 smash hit 'Jump', one of the most enduring and timeless singles in rock and roll history. Listen below.

Armin told Rolling Stone that the remix came together when a friend of his offered to send him the song's recording stems. "I'm like, 'Yeah, hell yeah,'" the producer said. "I knew the song already as a kid. I think I was 6 years old when the track was a No. 1 hit everywhere. I was just eager to have the stems, because I always thought, 'What if you could have the energy of that song from 1982 and transfer it to 2019?'" He sent it to Roth a few weeks ago, and the singer loved it.

"Just the fact that David is open for such a thing is quite huge to me," Van Buuren said.

"I agree with all of that," Roth added. "It's the first step toward world peace if we can do it."
