1001Tracklists Spotlight: Justė Talks "Let Me Be" Remix
Fresh off her global hit "Turn The Lights Off," which crossed 80 million streams and earned remixes from Afrojack, Gabry Ponte and Hypaton, Lithuanian artist Justė is back with a remix of The Second Voice's "Let Me Be" on Spinnin' Records. Her Spotlight Mix delivers high-energy speed garage and melodic bass alongside selections from Gorgon City, John Summit, Max Styler, SIDEPIECE, and more!
Hey Justė, thanks for joining us! You’re back with a remix of The Second Voice’s “Let Me Be.” What immediately attracted you to the original, and what made you want to put your own spin on it?
It was the melody and the emotion from the original that immediately caught me. Melodic music has always been something that I’ve been drawn to, so I wanted to keep that recognizable feeling from the original while bringing it into my own speed garage world and making it work in DJ sets.

It follows on from your release “Just A Little” with UK vocalist Sam Harper. Can you tell us more about how this collaboration first came about?
Sam was a core part of writing the song, and her vocals really added power to the track. I loved how her voice worked together with the production and really brought the track up a level.

What were your main influences for “Just A Little” and how did they differ from previous tracks you have released?
“Just A Little” was a follow-up to “Turn The Lights Off,” also working in the speed garage sound which I’ve been loving recently. I wanted to continue exploring that direction and develop it further.

Speed garage has quickly become a defining part of your sound. What is it about the genre that resonates with you, and when did you realize it could become such an important part of your musical identity?
I love the combination of groove, energy and emotion; it can be powerful and bass-heavy while still leaving space for a beautiful vocal or melody. I never really decided that speed garage would become “my genre”; I just kept making it and realized these were the tracks that made me feel most like myself for now.

Your breakthrough with “Turn The Lights Off” alongside Jaxstyle and Jon has been huge, with more than 80 million streams and over four billion radio impressions. What has seeing the track achieve such global success taught you about yourself as an artist?
It taught me that you can never fully predict what is going to happen with a song. Seeing it travel around the world has been crazy, but more than anything, it motivated me to keep discovering who I am as an artist and what I want the next chapter to sound like.

You’ve already had “Turn The Lights Off” remixed by artists including Afrojack, Gabry Ponte and Hypaton. Are there any artists you’d particularly love to collaborate with in the future?
There are honestly so many, and my list is constantly changing as I discover new music. For me, the most exciting collaboration is not necessarily about the most established, but someone who can bring a completely different musical world together with mine and create something unexpected.

You’ve now signed a long-term artist deal with Spinnin’ Records. What does that partnership mean to you, and how do you see it helping you develop your project in the coming years?
Signing with Spinnin’ Records means a lot to me. They are one of the biggest EDM labels with so many experienced people working there. Now that we’re doing things together, I really appreciate having such a big and professional team supporting me. They truly believe in me and put so much effort into my project, which I’m incredibly thankful for.

With your audience growing so quickly across streaming and social media, do you feel any pressure to follow the sound that has already proven successful, or do you feel more freedom to experiment?
For now, I’ve been making more of the productions people already know me for, and I’m still doing so. But I don’t rule out switching things up – I want to stay open and curious, and I am experimenting a lot in the studio at the moment. I love the idea of working across a variety of different genres as well.

There’s much more different music coming in with a big collaboration as well. I’m really excited to show what we’ve been working on.
