Australian tech house titan Dom Dolla kicks off 2026 with his most personal release yet—a reimagining of Puretone's 1998 classic "Addicted to Bass." Titled "Addicted to Bass (Dom Dolla Relapse)," the remix transforms the nostalgic anthem into a modern tech house weapon while honoring the original's infectious energy.

Released today via TMRW Music, the track marks Dom's first release in eight months and comes with significant emotional weight. Dom revealed the song was the soundtrack to his childhood in Australia, following him everywhere as a kid. After debuting the remix at his historic 40,000-capacity stadium show at Sydney's Allianz Stadium last December—the first-ever electronic stadium show in Australia—fan demand made the official release inevitable.

The production is masterful, balancing respect for the 1998 original with Dom's signature dark, driving tech house sound. He preserves the iconic vocal hook while adding deep basslines, hypnotic percussion, and atmospheric layers that make the track feel both nostalgic and completely contemporary.

Original producer Josh Abrahams praised the remix, noting that Dom found the deeper, steamier layers in the song while staying true to the chorus. The collaboration between past and present highlights how timeless dance music can be when reimagined by the right hands.

Dom Dolla continues his massive momentum following his ARIA Global Impact Award and Grammy nomination. With festival appearances lined up across 2026 and promises of more frequent releases, "Addicted to Bass (Dom Dolla Relapse)" signals that the Australian producer is entering a prolific new chapter.

For anyone who grew up with the original or anyone discovering it for the first time, this remix is essential listening—a bridge between eras that proves great music transcends decades.
