“Can you hear my heart cry for you?” — the refrain from Oliver Heldens and Poppy Baskcomb’s ‘Heart Cry’ takes on a new life with the release of its official remix pack. Originally a blend of melodic techno and trance, pairing Oliver’s production with Poppy’s vocal following her breakout on Tiësto’s ‘Drifting’, the track recently returned in seven new forms.
Selected from over 350 submissions to Beatport’s Flip It First remix contest, the winning entries from Feras Al Qasid, Menshee, Country Club Martini Crew, and Michael Leathers push the original into unexpected terrain.
Menshee’s rework fuses festival-ready chords with a UK bassline groove, while Country Club Martini Crew layers Poppy’s vocal over M1 keys, shuffling UKG-inspired drums, and bass-heavy drops. Michael Leathers strips the track into a minimal groove before unleashing a mainstage electro payoff, and Feras Al Qasid delivers an interpretation steeped in afro house textures.
Adding to the collection are official remixes from Tollef, Sebastian Wibe, and Midnight in Amsterdam.
Tollef reshapes the lead into a call-and-response with gospel-inflected vocal chops, crafting a house workout. Sebastian leans into high-BPM trance energy, layering tension through each drop before a hands-in-the-air finale. Midnight in Amsterdam flips the tempo entirely, delivering a propulsive 174 BPM D&B version that injects adrenaline while retaining the depth of the original.
