Tei Shi & nusar3000: I’m 100 percent here for the dance-fused ‘Montón’ remix
Just keeping it 100? Sometimes I just need energy, energy and more energy and what better turned up flex than hearing Tei Shi and nusar3000 teaming up for their ‘Montón’ remix? Oh yes.
Tei Shi and nusar3000 unite for their hard-hitting ‘Montón’ anthem
The teasing and metallic sounds meshed together? I can’t get enough. Completely geek out over this new drop.
Following the release of her acclaimed fourth album Make believe I make believe, Canadian-Colombian pop auteur Tei Shi shares a hypnotic new remix of her bilingual standout “Montón” by Spanish experimental producer nusar3000. Where the original captured the sweetness of lust and surrendering to love, the remix transforms that longing into movement, resulting in a bass-heavy, late-night meditation built on sub-bass, metallic percussion, and vaporous harmonies; reframing love through the pulse of the underground.
Tei Shi shares, “When I tried to imagine how I'd wanna hear Montón remixed, I was transported to a DJ set I saw Nusar3000 do. I knew he would do something super fresh with the track and I'm so glad he was down. I really love what he did with it, somehow bringing out the sweetness of the song while also making it more drrrty and cranking the energy.”
Written during a one-week creative retreat on Vancouver Island with longtime collaborators Noah Beresin and Tommy English, Make believe I make believe marked Tei Shi’s most liberated work to date, weaving English and Spanish through dream-pop, dembow, acoustic folk, and left-field electronics. The album includes standout singles like the defiant “Drop Dead,” the introspective “Best Be Leaving,” and the perreo-ready “222” featuring Loyal Lobos. Together, they trace Tei Shi’s continued evolution as an independent, self-directed artist unbound by genre or expectation.
With the remix’s release, Tei Shi continues to expand the world of Make believe I make believe as she brings the project to life on her headline tour. The North American run resumes October 20th in Philadelphia, with stops in Washington, D.C., Cleveland, New York, Toronto, Chicago, Mexico City, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Seattle, before wrapping November 23rd in Portland. She’ll then head overseas for a UK and European tour in February 2026, including dates in London, Paris, Berlin, and Barcelona. Listen to the “Montón” remix below and catch Tei Shi live this Fall !
