Sweekuh Just Gave the Cheesiest EDM Anthem of All Time a Brilliant House Makeover

The Philadelphia producer breathes new life into Afrojack's "Take Over Control."

Four years after its release, Afrojack's "Take Over Control" still acts like catnip for EDM bros, unparalleled in its ability to inspire manic fits of fist-pumping. Today, the track got a Pretty Woman-style makeover by the Orange County-born, Philadelphia-based producer Sweekuh, who flipped it into something almost unrecognizable—and awesome. Wiping away those screeching synths and stomach-clenching drops, Sweekuh keeps the track slinking along with a warm, rubbery bass. Eva Simon's singing is pitched way down—or maybe even replaced with Sweekuh's own voice—giving the once-girlish vocals a distinctly smoky texture. Now can someone give the real Afrojack a makeover, too?
