Ely Oaks is the #1 DJ on TikTok in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with a string of European smash hit singles and 12 million+ monthly listeners already to his credit. Now the always ambitious producer and DJ is poised to make his biggest breakthrough so far in the UK too, as he shares his radical rework of Elle King’s 2014 global hit ‘Ex’s and Oh’s’. Listen HERE.
The original ‘Ex’s and Oh’s’ was an invigorating hybrid of swing, country and pop-rock which was completely unmissable when it was first released: 4 x Platinum in the States, Top 15, Platinum in the UK, and a massive chart hit right around the world from Germany to Australia. Ely Oaks goes for broke to bring it up to date, putting the accelerator on the BPM, ramping up to the bass to maximal intensity, and pitch-shifting Elle’s vocal to cast a beguiling new spell. Just as the song speaks of old lovers always desperately wanting to come back for more, Ely gives it a magnetic new appeal that will be irresistible to his generation.
Ely says, “Absolutely honoured, after 11 years to the original release, to be able to launch a 2025 version of this legendary song together with Elle King. I‘ve been playing this version in my sets for almost the whole summer and it‘s been a highlight since. Can‘t wait to have this finally out.”
Now based in Berlin, the Austrian artist has been on the express lane to superstar DJ status in 2025, having already dropped his two biggest hits so far with ‘Running Around’ in February and then ‘Borderline’ (with LAVINIA) in April. It adds to his burgeoning profile, which has also seen him drop big originals such as ‘K.O.’ (also featuring LAVINIA) and ‘Tsunami’ (withAlok) as well as remixes for big names like Dove Cameron, Khalid, Nathan Dawe, Rudimental, Sub Focus and many more.
His rambunctious energy and full-throttle personality also makes him a compelling figure on social media, with over 1 million followers and 30 million likes at TikTok alone. But he commands a strong following IRL too, with countless big sets across Europe this summer – see his recent Lab54 London performance HERE.
