Not Everyone Gets a Tiësto Remix: Why Is “Morena” the Exception?
In the constantly evolving world of Latin music, the fusion of regional sounds with global genres is no longer a rarity—it’s a movement. And no artist captures that momentum better than Netón Vega. The 23-year-old Mexican singer-songwriter is redefining the sound of regional Mexican music, and his latest collaboration is a testament to that.
Netón Vega’s ‘Morena’ with Peso Pluma gets Tiësto remix: ‘This Means A Lot For My Music’—an announcement that is already making waves across both the Latin and EDM scenes.
The official remix of Morena drops months after the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer Tiësto began performing the euphoric rework at some of the biggest music festivals around the world. Now, fans finally have access to the electrifying official version, which blends Vega’s regional roots with Tiësto’s signature dancefloor-ready production. This remix marks a milestone not just for Vega, but for the genre itself.
The Evolution of “Morena”: From Corrido to Global EDM Hit
Originally released as the fourth track on Netón Vega’s debut album Mi Vida Mi Muerte, “Morena” has enjoyed significant chart success. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart and No. 2 on the Top Latin Albums chart as of March 8, 2025. Vega’s collaboration with Peso Pluma added a raw and authentic energy to the track, instantly connecting with fans of both traditional and contemporary Latin sounds.
But now, with the Tiësto remix, “Morena” steps beyond its roots and enters the international stage. The remix retains the soul of the original track while injecting it with Tiësto’s unmistakable EDM style—characterized by pulsing synths, driving beats, and festival-sized drops. The result is a transcendent track that resonates with audiences far beyond Latin America.
Why This Remix Matters: Vega’s Vision and Global Strategy
For Vega, the collaboration is not just a musical experiment—it’s a calculated move to bring regional Mexican music into new global territories.
“It’s a global genre,” Vega explained in a recent interview with Billboard. “For us in regional Mexican, it’s been more complicated to be global but that’s why it’s key to form alliances.”
His comments reflect a growing recognition among Latin artists: collaboration is a gateway to broader exposure. Vega and Peso Pluma didn’t just approve Tiësto’s remix; they embraced it.
“When we heard what he had done with the song, Peso and I loved it and we liked the idea of making it an official release,” said Vega.
By teaming up with a global dance music icon, Vega is introducing his music to audiences who may never have discovered him otherwise.
“This means a lot for my music,” Vega adds. “We all benefit. Tiësto will gain a new audience with us, and we’ll get an audience that we don’t have yet, which is Europe.”
A Latin Remix That Stands Out
Netón Vega’s ‘Morena’ with Peso Pluma gets Tiësto remix is not just another collaboration; it’s part of a broader trend recognized by both Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. In our Latin Remix of the Week series, we highlight remixes that are not only exceptional in production quality but also offer something distinct from the rest of the pack.
This week’s spotlight belongs to “Morena (Tiësto Remix)” precisely because of how successfully it bridges two vastly different musical worlds. The track retains the storytelling and emotive power of a traditional corrido while delivering the high-energy atmosphere of a dance anthem.
This is not just a remix—it’s a reimagination that maintains cultural authenticity while expanding musical boundaries.
The Festival Road to the Remix’s Release
Before the remix dropped officially on August 22, 2025, Tiësto had already been road-testing it at global music festivals. From Tomorrowland in Belgium to Ultra Music Festival in Miami, the track quickly became a crowd favorite. The enthusiastic response from international audiences confirmed what Tiësto already suspected:
“Morena had the potential to become a cross-genre hit.”
Two months ago, Tiësto reached out to Vega’s team, eager to collaborate on an official release. The rest, as they say, is history. The partnership was seamless, and the final product stayed true to the essence of all three artists involved—Netón Vega, Peso Pluma, and Tiësto.
Upcoming Music Video and What’s Next for Vega
The buzz surrounding the remix isn’t slowing down. Vega, Peso Pluma, and Tiësto plan to shoot a music video for the remix later this month. While no official release date for the video has been confirmed, fans can expect a visual experience that matches the energy and fusion of the remix itself.
Netón Vega is also gearing up for a major appearance at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Week, taking place from October 20–24 at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Vega will be among the featured speakers and performers at this prestigious event, which includes industry panels, live showcases, workshops, and networking opportunities.
His presence at the event underscores his growing importance in the Latin music landscape. The week concludes with the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, set to air live from Miami on October 23 via Telemundo and Peacock. Vega’s participation in these events further cements his role as a key figure in the future of Latin music.
