Randy Perez’s latest VIP remix of “Not Like You” isn’t a flex—it’s a recalibration. Built on a melodic techno framework, the new version removes the friction of the original and leans into tone, flow, and repeatability.
Released on Synesthesia, the remix lowers the tempo, trims excess, and lets each part breathe. The vocal chops sit farther back in the mix, while synth stabs and analog-style basslines keep things tactile and rhythmic. It’s clearly shaped by a DJ’s ear: every loop feels built for transition, every detail tuned for systems that need time to hit.
Perez isn’t chasing a peak here. Instead, the VIP builds slow tension, rooted in groove and simplicity. It’s a style he’s been refining across releases on LFTD Global and Angry Dogs Records, and it shows. The approach is more performance-oriented than playlist-optimized. The intent is clear.
With the original version already over 95K streams, this VIP gives the single new purpose.
For anyone tracking Perez’s steady rise through Phoenix’s underground and his expanding catalog, “Not Like You (VIP)” is a sign that his sound is narrowing into form.
