Ekonovah Breathes New Life Into Cazzette's "Sleepless" 11 Years After Release

It’s been 11 years since “Sleepless” made high school aux cords go crazy, and now Ekonovah has come in to give Cazzette’s 2014 dance favorite a shiny, high-power makeover.

Have you ever thought that house music could take you back in time? If so, his original remix is your ticket. The haunting, vocoded lyrics from the original are turned into a euphoric sprint by Ekonovah. This turns the song from a nostalgic house anthem into a cinematic beast for the dancefloors of 2025.

The arrangement builds up like a pressure cooker and then lets out a quick, stunning drop. In this version, he swaps the slow, sombre beat for a fast-paced energy that makes you feel like you’re speeding through a memory you didn’t know you missed.

Remixing a song as well-known and loved as “Sleepless” is risky, but the EDM.com Class of 2023 artist does it with style, adding feeling without becoming too sentimental. A press statement says that Cazzette chose him as the person to do the job.

“‘Sleepless’ is one of those songs that brings me back to high school and those early days where I began falling in love with house music,” said Ekonovah. “You don’t get asked to remix a famous dance music classic every day.” It’s an honor, and I hope I did the song right.
