Adele's chart-topping track, "Hello," has, undoubtedly been one of the top tracks of 2015, as it's been sitting at the No.1 spot on Billboard's Top 100 Chart for eight straight weeks, not to mention several other records the track has broken, along with her lastest album, 25. With songs like Adele's, "Hello," there are surely going to be several covers and remixes of the track, and that is exactly what has happened. One remix, in particular, comes from the up-and-coming producer, marshmello, who rendered a crazy catchy flip of the original - as if the original wasn't catchy enough.
In a recent Music Times article, we reported that Adele's latest album, 25, broke a 14 year-old record, when it sold 3.5 million copies in its debut week, shattering the previous record held by NYSYC who sold 2.42 copies in its debut week, back in 2001. 25's successes have certainly been helped by "Hello," which has received countless renditions such as a cover by Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez, a cover by American Idol alum Karen Rodriquez and a very humorous cover by some of the biggest celebrities today. Aside from the covers, DJ Earworm worked his rendition of "Hello" into his United States of Pop 2015 track and then we have marshmello's remix.
The emerging EDM star with almost 200K followers on his Soundcloud account, released his remix of "Hello" in November and almost immediately, was removed due to copyright violations, by Adele's label, Columbia Records, which is actually a sub-label of Sony Music.
Today, marshmellow released a live video from his set in Tampa, showing off his "Hello" remix in front of a massive crowd! For those that were lucky enough to catch his remix while it was up on Soundcloud (for about three hours) you remember the positive, progressive house vibes, mixes with some tempo changes and some vocals pitches, to create a really unique and catchy remix. If you didn't catch the full remix the first time around, this video surely shows fans how great the remix is heard live.
You should never be afraid to sing along to Adele, especially my remix. Thank you Tampa for another sold out and INSANE night! #mellogang

Although nowhere to be found on Soundcloud (legally), marshmello did leave the download of the remix available to his fans for free, which you can download here. Out of all the remixes and covers we've heard thus far, which one do you like best and where does marshmello's stack up against the rest?
