(Radio.com) Already one of the world's hottest songwriters having penned such hits as Icona Pop's "I Love It" and Iggy Azalea's summer anthem, "Fancy," Charli XCX is enjoying similar success as a solo act. "Boom Clap" was the first Top 40 hit of her own, reaching platinum status and hitting No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart.

The track's big beat is an ideal source for a storming dance floor remix, which has arrived courtesy Swedish DJ/producer Marcus Schossow's official remix. It's the latest in Schossow's long line of high-profile reworkings, having already retooled tracks for the likes of Coldplay ("Midnight"), OneRepublic and ("Love Runs Out") and Lana Del Rey ("Young and Beautiful").

"I was asked to remix Charli XCX's 'Boom Clap,' and since it was such a unique original track I instantly said yes," Schossow says of the track's origins. "I wanted to make it into a more danceable version, but still keep her unique touch on the vocals. I always do things in my own style, and with this remix I really felt I stayed true to my own sound but still managed to put in a few pop elements here and there.

Right now, Schossow is in the studio after six months of touring. "I'm currently finishing up two new singles that will see the daylight in 2015," he says. "Both of them very indie-influenced, but still dance records. Only a few shows left for the rest of 2014 as we just did about 30 shows in North America this summer, it's been crazy! I'm planning on hit the road again next year, which will be one of the biggest tours I've ever done."
