I had a feeling this would turn out like many of those BID remixes from not too long ago, and I have no idea who Nicky Romero is. There were some nice sounds in the background, but I still found the remix as a whole uninteresting. At least it wasn't pushing 8 minutes, like a certain infamous "re-imagining" of BID...
Nicky Romero, like most dance producers, isn't a top-tier mainstream household name. He is a known name in the dance world, obviously, or LP would never have heard about him. He came up during the electronic dance music wave in the early 2010s, and he's known for making Dutch house (he's Dutch) ... and this "Heavy" remix is obviously not that at all. That said, to date, I've only heard a couple of his tracks so, for all I know, he's been making future bass for years
I think this is a nice remix though ALTNC was far from hardstyle, so it's somewhat fresh in that sense. And the use of Mike's "Get this bitch earthquaking" is super cool imo.
