Max Rae and Jeff Retro’s add retro breaks to Janet Jackson’s ‘If’ – Dancing Astronaut

Vegas-bred pop provocateur Max Rae isn’t simply climbing the business ladder – she’s taking the categorical elevator. Contemporary off setting UK venues ablaze supporting BLUE’s sold-out Best Hits tour (the place The Solar dubbed her “Glasto-worthy” in these signature sequin catsuits), she’s now crashing the EDM social gathering with Hakkasan resident DJ Jeff Retro on a thunderous remake of Janet Jackson’s “If.”
The collab makes excellent sense – Retro’s been sharing deck house with Calvin Harris and Martin Garrix at Vegas’s holy trinity (Omnia, Hakkasan, WET Republic), whereas Rae’s been busy gathering scalps on each side of the Atlantic. Between strutting runways at London Style Week, igniting Delight levels with Amber Riley, and going viral on TikTok, she’s engineered a takeover that feels each calculated and chaotic in one of the best ways.
Now, with Aston Merrygold tour dates looming and a Montell Jordan-blessed flip of “This Is How We Do It” locked for early 2025, Rae’s positioned herself as pop’s subsequent not-so-secret weapon. The Each day Mail referred to as her “the right hype increase,” however that looks like an understatement – she’s not boosting the hype, she’s manufacturing it. And judging by these Yorkshire Put up “gorgeous vocals” and that “infectious power,” we’re all shopping for what she’s promoting.
