A hard techno remix of Arctic Monkeys’ ‘505’ has been going down a storm at dance festivals this summer – check it out below.
The Dutch DJ and producer Xamuel has transformed the ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ closer into a pounding rave edit, replacing its simmering slow-build with heavy kicks, industrial textures and a huge festival drop.
The remix has been doing the rounds on social media in recent weeks, with clips showing it being played to huge crowds at techno events and at festivals.

Xamuel first teased the remix on TikTok, writing: “I made a edit of Arctic Monkeys – 505 remix. What do you guys think?”
The track has been picked up by a number of DJs, including TRYM, who has been seen playing the remix at Verknipt Easter in Amsterdam, while he also dropped it during a back-to-back set with The Outlaw – the harder alias of DJ Snake – at Ultra Miami 2026.
