Today, April 25, Spinnin’ Records unleashed R3HAB’s electrifying new single, ‘Right Here, Right Now’, a track poised to ignite festival stages worldwide. The Dutch-Moroccan EDM titan, born Fadil El Ghoul, has cemented his legacy as a global dance music juggernaut, amassing over 12 billion streams and earning Spotify’s title of Most Discovered Artist. With more than 100 Diamond, Gold, and Platinum certifications, his catalog—including the 700-million-streamed ‘All Around The World’—resonates across continents.
Collaborations with heavyweights like Ava Max, Tiësto, and Armin van Buuren, alongside remixes for icons like Rihanna and Drake, showcase his versatility. Ranked consistently in DJ Mag’s Top 20 since 2017, R3HAB’s knack for crafting anthems makes this release a pivotal moment for 2025’s festival season.
The track’s heart is its brilliant reworking of Fatboy Slim’s ‘Right Here, Right Now’, a sample that defined an era. The original, from the album You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby, was a UK Top 2 hit and a cultural juggernaut, its sweeping strings and hypnotic groove soundtracking everything from films to FIFA soundtracks. R3HAB transforms this legendary hook into a festival beast, layering thunderous bass and soaring synths that amplify its cinematic grandeur. Tested at Tomorrowland, the track’s euphoric drops and pulsating rhythms capture the sample’s timeless energy while thrusting it into the modern EDM stratosphere. It’s a masterful balance of reverence and reinvention, honoring the sample’s legacy while crafting a new anthem for packed dancefloors.
“‘I’ve poured a lot of studio time crafting a sound that feels right for the festival lane,’” R3HAB shares. “‘After testing it on some of the biggest stages in the world, like Tomorrowland, I’m finally ready to share it. This record features the legendary ‘Right Here, Right Now’ sample, also used by Fatboy Slim back in the 90s, whose track I’ve played countless times throughout my sets. Releasing my own take on it is a full-circle moment. The crowd reactions have been incredible, and I’m channeling that energy into pushing my productions to new heights.’” With this release, R3HAB doesn’t just revisit a classic—he redefines it for a new generation of ravers.
